Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.

Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient's smile.

Will they look like normal teeth?

When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

Who is a candidate for veneers?

As with any treatment, a consultation and evaluation is necessary to determine whether veneers, or some other procedure, would be appropriate in your individual case.

How are veneers applied?

Veneers are fabricated by a dental technician, usually in a commercial dental laboratory, from a model provided by your dentist. Placing veneers is often an irreversible process because a small amount of enamel is usually removed to accommodate the thickness of the veneer shell.

How durable are porcelain veneers?

With proper care, porcelain veneers will brighten your smile for well over a decade.
Dr. Streem, Dr. Resnick, Dr. Tetelman or Dr. Young will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality porcelains and bonded with the most advanced and proven materials available.

Refraining from using your veneers as tools to open and cut things will prolong their life, and if accidental breakage or damage occurs, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer involved.

Are veneers covered by insurance?

Veneers are typically considered an appearance-enhancement procedure. Therefore, they are generally not covered by traditional insurance policies.
