Overview

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin (0.3-0.5mm) ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct shape, size, color, and alignment. Dr. Amini designs each veneer with meticulous attention to contour, translucency, and surface texture, creating restorations that are indistinguishable from natural tooth structure.

Who This Is For

  • Patients with discolored teeth resistant to whitening
  • Those with chipped, worn, or irregularly shaped teeth
  • Individuals with minor misalignment or spacing not needing orthodontics
  • Patients wanting a complete smile transformation

Who This Is Not For

  • Patients with active gum disease or untreated decay (must treat first)
  • Those with severe malocclusion or bite problems requiring orthodontics first
  • Individuals who clench or grind heavily without a nightguard plan
  • Patients with insufficient enamel for proper bonding

The Process

1

Smile Design Consultation: Dr. Amini evaluates your facial proportions, tooth shape, and smile dynamics. Digital smile design allows you to preview your new smile before treatment begins.

2

Tooth Preparation: A minimal amount of enamel (typically 0.3-0.5mm) is gently removed. Digital impressions are taken and sent to the master ceramist with detailed prescriptions.

3

Provisional Veneers: Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth and allow you to test the look, feel, and function of your new smile.

4

Bonding: Your custom veneers are bonded with precision using high-strength dental adhesives. Final adjustments ensure optimal fit, comfort, and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, veneers typically last 10-15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and wearing a nightguard if you grind are essential.
Does getting veneers hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is generally painless. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after tooth preparation.
Can veneers be removed once placed?
The process is minimally invasive but does involve a small amount of enamel removal, making the process technically reversible but practically permanent.
How many appointments are needed?
Typically 2-3 appointments: consultation and smile design, preparation and provisional placement, and final bonding. The entire process takes 2-4 weeks.
