Can porcelain veneers be used as an alternative to tooth whitening?

Yes. There are several options for patients who have teeth that are stained or not as white as they could be. One of the most effective options is porcelain veneers. A thin porcelain shell placed over the tooth, porcelain veneers look and feel just like your natural teeth, without some of the drawbacks of other whitening treatments.

What other imperfections can porcelain veneers fix?

Porcelain veneers can fix a wide range of aesthetic issues. In addition to whitening, they are used for teeth that are:

• Chipped
• Uneven
• Gapped
• Misshapen

Are the veneers made at your office?

We send the impression of your teeth to May Dental Arts where superior quality porcelain and technology are used to ensure your veneers are long lasting and beautiful. The process for creating your new veneers can take a few weeks, but during that time you will be fitted with temporary veneers from our office.

Is the porcelain veneers process painful?

The procedure for fitting you with porcelain veneers is minimally invasive. There will be no interruption of the normal function of your teeth, and no long-term numbing or painful reminders after your new veneers have been placed.
