The Porcelain Veneer Placement Process
We understand getting any dental treatment can be nerve-wracking, but we will support you every step of the way so that you always know what to expect. While every patient is different, the porcelain veneer placement process generally involves the following steps:
Step-by-Step Procedure
Evaluation: Before preparing your teeth for veneers, we examine your teeth and gums to determine if you are eligible for the treatment.
Preparation: If you qualify for veneers, we prepare the teeth by removing small amounts of enamel to roughen the surface and help the veneers stay in place.
Impressions: Once enough enamel has been removed, we take impressions of your teeth to make the custom veneers.
Placement: When the veneers are ready, we assess the shape, color, and fit. Then, we bond them to your teeth with dental cement. After placement, we can check your bite and make any necessary adjustments.
Recovery and Care
When the anesthesia wears off after veneer placement, most patients can resume their usual activities right away, including eating and drinking. Our knowledgeable team can help you understand how to take care of your porcelain veneers, which involves brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings to prevent staining and cracking.
6 Amazing Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
If you are insecure about the shape, size, or color of your teeth, porcelain veneers may be a great option. With their rising popularity, this cosmetic dental option offers patients the following benefits:
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
- Long-lasting solution - Durable materials that can last 10+ years with proper care
- Add strength to your natural teeth - Reinforce weakened tooth structure
- Natural appearance - Veneers blend in with the rest of your teeth for a seamless look
- Simple and non-invasive procedure - Relatively straightforward application process
- Stain and decay-resistant - Superior protection compared to natural teeth
- Easy to maintain - Simple care routine with regular brushing and flossing
Because veneers are made of non-porous, high-quality materials, they resist staining and decay better than natural teeth. This makes them an effective and long-lasting teeth-whitening solution. Our skilled and seasoned team can help determine if porcelain veneers are right for you, so you can feel confident in your smile again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or even longer. Regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene are essential for maximizing their lifespan.
Are porcelain veneers painful to get?
The procedure is generally comfortable, and we use local anesthesia to ensure you don't feel any discomfort during treatment. Most patients experience minimal sensitivity afterward.
Can I eat normally with porcelain veneers?
Yes! Once you're fully healed, you can eat most foods normally. However, we recommend avoiding extremely hard foods that could potentially chip the veneers.
Do porcelain veneers require special care?
Porcelain veneers require the same care as natural teeth - regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. They're actually easier to maintain than natural teeth because they resist staining.
Can porcelain veneers be whitened?
Porcelain veneers maintain their color and cannot be whitened like natural teeth. However, they're highly stain-resistant and will maintain their beautiful appearance for years.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
The cost varies depending on the number of veneers needed and your specific case. We'll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing during your consultation.
