Many people have heard about Porcelain veneers but few people actually know what they are. Porcelain veneers are THE MOST effective way to improve your smile and achieve a younger, more attractive look. Most movie stars have beautiful smiles because of Porcelain Veneers.

Porcelain veneers are very similar to Lumineers. They are beautiful, thin pieces of Porcelain that are strongly bonded to your teeth in order to change the shape, color and appearance of your teeth. They are different from “No drilling” Lumineers in that Porcelain veneers require some re-shaping of your natural teeth so that the Porcelain Veneers can REALLY LOOK GREAT.

For some people, Porcelain Veneers will yield a better result than Lumineers. For others, Lumineers are the better choice. Come see us to find out what is right for you. We have pictures and models that will help you understand what is the right way for you to achieve your new smile.
