Porcelain Veneers

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an option for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their conservative nature and superior esthetic results.

Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail.  We design each case individually after carefully assessing a patients occlusion (bite) to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient’s smile.

Will they look like normal teeth?

When bonded to the teeth, the porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to potential stains.  For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

How durable are porcelain veneers?

With proper care, porcelain veneers will brighten your smile for many years.

Dr. Hardy will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality porcelains and are bonded with the most advanced and proven materials available.

Refraining from using your veneers as tools to open and cut things will prolong their life, and if accidental breakage or damage occurs, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer involved.
