Porcelain Veneers in Georgia

Serving Atlanta, Alpharetta, & Marietta, GA

Porcelain veneers, also known as porcelain laminates, are thin shells of porcelain which exactly fit over the front surfaces of the teeth. The veneers have the unique ability to completely mask unattractive stains while letting light through to appear entirely real. Like fake fingernails, they are affixed with an adhesive to the front surfaces of teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

* - required fields Questions

What are the advantages of porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers solve the same types of problems as bonding -- chips, gaps, stains, discolorations, and crooked teeth; however the veneers have the additional advantage of strength and support. Veneers are relatively maintenance-free and are much more durable than bonding. If very dark stains need to be masked or if existing porcelain crowns need to be matched, porcelain veneers may be the treatment of choice.

How is the process done?
Porcelain veneers require two office visits because of the laboratory work involved. Minimal shaping is required to create space for the veneer. Typically there are 7 days between appointments, although special arrangements can be made for a shorter waiting time. Between visits, the patient wears provisional veneers, a kind of smile sculpture which allows us to choose the final result.

What is the cost?
Prices vary from patient to patient depending on case difficulty and porcelain materials used. Please call or email our Atlanta, Georgia cosmetic dentistry office to schedule a complimentary consultation and find out what porcelain veneers can do for your smile.
