Fact #2 Veneers Look Just Like Natural Teeth

Porcelain veneers are the spitting image of real teeth, right down to their translucency. They’re custom-crafted to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, making them indistinguishable from the real deal! Veneers will transform your imperfect smile into a stunning, flawless smile you can showcase with pride!  

Fact #3 Porcelain Veneers are Enduring

Porcelain veneers are designed to last! Porcelain is a resilient material that can easily withstand the rigors of biting and chewing. They will enhance the strength of your teeth and increase their resistance to future chipping and cracking. Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains and will maintain their attractiveness over time. With appropriate maintenance, your veneers can endure for 15 to 20 years!

Fact #4 Veneers Don’t Require Special Care

Veneers are brushed and flossed like natural teeth. Although they’re impervious to decay, your natural teeth beneath the veneers are still prone to cavities. Good brushing and flossing habits along with regular dental cleanings will protect your teeth from decay and keep your beautiful, new smile healthy and strong for years!

Fact #5 Veneers are a Minimally-invasive Solution

The process for getting veneers is fairly easy. Dr. Griffith will evaluate your smile, get your input on the areas you’d like to improve, set aesthetic goals for your procedure, and map out a plan to achieve them! Then we’ll prep your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to accommodate veneers. Impressions are taken of your prepped teeth and sent to a lab for veneer fabrication. When your restorations are ready, we’ll bond them in place to complete your smile transformation!   

Fact #6 The Porcelain Veneers Process is Irreversible 

Once enamel is removed from your teeth, it can’t be replaced. That makes your veneer process irreversible. When it’s time to replace your veneers, you’ll need to continue with this treatment or choose a substitute cosmetic procedure like dental crowns to maintain your smile’s attractive appearance.
