What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells made from high-quality porcelain, custom-designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are ideal for improving the appearance of teeth that are discolored, chipped, or slightly misaligned. They are a popular cosmetic treatment because they mimic the natural look of teeth while offering strength and durability.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers are designed to be long-lasting. With proper care and maintenance, they can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or even longer. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to your dentist will help extend the lifespan of your veneers. While durable, it’s important to avoid habits that could damage them, such as biting on hard objects.

What is the process of getting porcelain veneers?

The process of getting porcelain veneers typically involves a few visits to our office. During your initial visit, Dr. Katie Burggraaf will examine your teeth and discuss your desired outcomes. She will also take digital scans , photos, and records of your bite to create a design for the veneers.  Once the design is verified and approved, the teeth can be prepped by removing a small amount of enamel, and provisionals placed.  When the porcelain veneers have been made at the lab and tried to ensure fit, the veneers will be firmly attached to your teeth using a strong adhesive, and any required adjustments will be made to guarantee an optimal fit.

Are porcelain veneers painful?

The process of getting porcelain veneers is generally pain-free. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the preparation of the teeth, but this can be managed with local anesthesia. Once the veneers are placed, most patients report little to no discomfort. Dr. Burggraaf will ensure that the fit is comfortable and natural-looking.

How do porcelain veneers improve my smile?

Porcelain veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile by covering imperfections such as stains, chips, cracks, and misalignment. Since veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth, they provide a natural, seamless look that blends in with your existing teeth. The result is a radiant, symmetrical smile that boosts confidence and appearance.
