Porcelain Veneers
The most versatile smile makeover.
Aesthetically Pleasing Smiles
Porcelain veneers are the ultimate disguise for smile imperfections.
Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells made from durable, long-lasting porcelain material. They’re placed over your existing teeth, with minor modifications, to improve your smile’s appearance and structural integrity.
Dr. Nguyen customizes veneers to look entirely natural. No one will look at your smile and detect you have veneers.
From the curvature of the tooth’s edge to its color and length, you’ll have endless possibilities to finally achieve your dream smile – without undergoing invasive surgical procedures.

Does insurance pay for veneers?
Typically, dental insurance doesn’t cover the cost of veneer because they’re considered a cosmetic treatment. If you need financial assistance, we accept CareCredit, which offers special financing for dental care not covered by insurance.
-
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers last for 10 years on average. However, they can last for longer, potentially over 20 years, if you take great care of them. One reason why porcelain veneers are better than composite, ceramic, or resin veneers is that they last longer.
-
Do porcelain veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are extremely stain resistant, far more than your natural teeth or composite veneers. They’ll likely stay perfectly white for 10+ years (the average life expectancy for veneers). This is why they’re advertised as a permanent way to whiten your teeth. With porcelain veneers, you can drink coffee and red wine without having to stress about your getting teeth stained.
-
Are veneers painful to get?
No, dental veneers don’t hurt. All that’s required for veneers is a small removal of tooth enamel, which is quick and nonsurgical. During this step, your mouth is numb with a local anesthetic to prevent discomfort. After the procedure, your teeth and gums may feel slightly tender. If this is the case, you can take over-the-counter medication to ease your symptoms.
