Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel, giving veneers a lifelike appearance. Veneers are highly stain-resistant, so they stay bright even with coffee or tea. Because they cover only the front surface of the tooth, they require less removal of tooth structure than a crown. With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Options
For minor chips or small gaps, dental bonding may be a quicker, more affordable option. If your teeth are significantly crowded or misaligned, Invisalign may be recommended first. Teeth that are heavily damaged or weakened are often better restored with crowns. Dr. Sandhu will help you choose the best approach as part of your cosmetic dentistry plan.
The Veneer Process
Your journey begins with a consultation to discuss your goals. A thin layer of enamel is then gently removed so the veneers sit naturally, and impressions are taken to create your custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent ones are crafted. At your final visit, Dr. Sandhu bonds the veneers in place and polishes them for a flawless finish.

How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Each veneer is custom-shaped and color-matched to your smile, and porcelain reflects light like natural enamel.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Tooth preparation is done with local anesthetic, so most patients feel little discomfort. Mild sensitivity for a few days is common.
Can veneers be whitened?
Porcelain does not respond to whitening. If you want a brighter smile overall, we recommend whitening your natural teeth before your veneers are made.
How many veneers will I need?
It depends on your goals. Some patients need one or two veneers, while full smile makeovers often include six to ten upper teeth.
How do I care for veneers?
Brush and floss normally, avoid biting hard objects, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Veneers are usually considered cosmetic and are not covered. Financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry can help.
