Porcelain Veneers
Custom porcelain shells that transform stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth into a smile that looks naturally yours.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom made shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can change the color, shape, size, and length of your teeth to create the smile you want. Porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel, so veneers look natural and resist stains.
It starts with a consultation, where Dr. Mejia talks with you about your goals and what looks natural on you. At the next visit, a thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the front of each tooth, and we take a digital scan. Your veneers are crafted in a lab while you wear temporaries. At your final visit, we check the fit and color, then bond them in place.
Veneers can cover stains that whitening won't lift, along with chips, gaps, and worn or uneven teeth. The result is a smile that looks balanced and natural. With good care, porcelain veneers can last for many years.
