What makes a smile beautiful?
That’s a complex question, but some qualities of a stellar smile are immediately identifiable. Alignment, shape, and whiteness are a few of the best indicators of tooth health, but natural aging processes can diminish these features. If your teeth could use improvement in any of these categories, porcelain veneers could be just what you’re looking for.

What is a dental veneer?
A dental veneer is a thin covering designed to bond to the front surface of the teeth in order to alter and enhance its shape, alignment, or coloration.
What are my options for veneers?
There are several options when it comes to veneer treatment, with the most commonly recommended varieties of dental veneers made either of porcelain or resin composite materials, such as plastic and glass. Porcelain veneers tend to be preferred, however, since they offer more benefits and reliability than their synthetic counterparts. Not only do porcelain veneers better mimic the appearance and light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, but they offer optimal stain-resistance and durability. As an added bonus, they’re generally quite affordable!
What are dental veneers made from?
The most effective dental veneers are made with an ultra-thin layer of highly durable porcelain that acts as a convincing substitute for natural tooth enamel. That’s because dental porcelain, like natural tooth enamel, is translucent and tough. But it doesn’t stain like tooth enamel does. When bonded to your teeth, veneers can create a smile that is not only beautiful but functional as well.
