Porcelain veneers are a very popular way to correct esthetic concerns in a patients existing smile. We use this technique to correct things like crooked/misaligned teeth, space between teeth, stained or discolored teeth, replacing old, unsightly dental restorations. The procedure is generally completed in about two weeks and has very little post operative discomfort. Things to evaluate in choosing a dental office to pursue this treatment are the experience and education of the dentist performing the work and the qualifications of the dental laboratory that the dentist uses to complete the ceramic restorations. In my experience as a cosmetic dentist, I have yet to see a procedure that yields a better return on investment than porcelain veneers. For most patients, it is a life changing experience.
