Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment that can improve the shape, color, and overall appearance of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells that are adhered to the front and sides of the teeth to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Veneers are generally made out of one of two materials: composite resin and dental porcelain. Each material can be manipulated to match the desired shade, shape, and overall appearance. In many cases, custom made veneers are fabricated by a dental technician to ensure a high quality, natural looking result. We work closely with the technician to ensure it aligns with your smile makeover plan.
Dr. Jefferies will work with you to design custom dental veneers that meet your cosmetic goals. The goal is to create veneers that blend naturally with your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent restoration due to the amount of tooth surface that will need to be compromised for stable placement. If your veneers become damaged, we can work with you to repair or replace the veneer to maintain the long term integrity of your smile makeover.
Dental veneers offer many benefits to patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile.
