Lucky for you, we are ready to offer you a concise yet comprehensive introduction!

What’s A Veneer Like?

A veneer is extremely thin and acts as a shell that covers the part of your tooth others see when they look at you. As a result, a porcelain veneers is like a facade for each tooth. When you choose to use multiple veneers, they create the illusion of a transformed smile.

How Does It Work?

We bond one porcelain veneer per tooth. Veneers are custom crafted by a master ceramicist who uses multiple ultra-thin layers of porcelain to create the precise finish that you are looking to achieve. This may include the shade of your smile, the dimensions, shape, and texture of each tooth, and subsequently, a uniform finish for your entire grin.
