Porcelain Veneers

Cosmetic Dentistry in Houston, TX

For decades, porcelain veneers have provided an excellent conservative option for creating a beautiful smile. What are they? A veneer is an ultra-thin layer of lab-fabricated porcelain bonded to the prepared surface of your teeth. This popular aesthetic treatment is used to enhance the color, shape, size, length, and alignment of your teeth. Today, porcelain veneers are color stable and strong once they are bonded to the teeth and have the capacity to last for many years.

Porcelain veneers are the treatment of choice for the following reasons:

• More conservative than crowns because they require less tooth reduction
• Last longer than cosmetic bonding
• Look and feel more like natural teeth compared to bondings
• More stain resistant than bondings
• Used to close gaps or to straighten crowded teeth (instant orthodontics)
• Great solution for severely discolored teeth
• Excellent choice for teeth needing multiple changes

Porcelain veneers remain a treatment of choice for patients who would like a conservative approach to a stunning smile transformation. Lumineers are also available for certain patients who are good candidates for a minimal to prepless porcelain veneer procedure.
