Treatment
Porcelain Veneers
Custom porcelain shells crafted by hand to reshape the color, shape, and alignment of your smile.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their color, shape, and alignment for a lasting result.
Dr. Perimenis lightly shapes each tooth, takes a digital scan, and works with a master ceramist to craft veneers that fit seamlessly.
Handcrafted porcelain resists stains and reflects light like natural enamel, so your smile looks bright and even for years.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers suit people who want a more complete change in the color, shape, or alignment of their smile, especially when several teeth are involved. They are a good fit when your teeth and gums are healthy and you are ready for a lasting result. Dr. Perimenis will help you decide between porcelain and no-prep veneers based on your goals.
You plan the look you want together, then your teeth are lightly prepared and scanned with a digital scanner. A master ceramist crafts each veneer by hand, and you return for a second visit to have them checked and bonded into place.
Most cases take two visits over a couple of weeks, one to prepare and scan, and one to bond the finished veneers. The timing depends on how many teeth are involved and how quickly your ceramist completes the work.
A small amount of enamel is shaped to fit the veneers, so this is a lasting choice that is planned carefully with you first. With good care, porcelain veneers resist stains well and can look natural for many years.
You can eat and speak normally soon after your appointment. Any mild sensitivity to hot or cold usually fades within a few days as your teeth settle.
