Treatment

Porcelain veneers

Usually two to three visits about one to two weeks apart, so it can fit inside a single longer trip. Enamel is removed to place them, which makes the treatment irreversible. Any decay or gum disease must be treated first.

What it is

Thin shells bonded to the front of the teeth. Placing them requires removing a small amount of enamel, which makes the treatment irreversible — enamel does not grow back. Composite veneers require less or no enamel removal and can often be done in a single appointment.

What to expect

Porcelain veneers usually take two to three visits, spaced roughly one to two weeks apart while the laboratory fabricates them, so the treatment can fit inside a single longer trip. A temporary veneer may be placed in between.

Before you book

Any decay or gum disease must be treated first — placing veneers over unhealthy teeth may worsen existing problems. Veneers may chip, crack, wear down or loosen over time. They may not be a good choice if you clench or grind your teeth or have a deep overbite. Because they are cosmetic, they are usually not covered by insurance.
