Patients often ask for a brighter, more balanced smile without looking like they had dental work done. Porcelain veneers can be a thoughtful option when your oral health supports them. I plan around your features and let you preview the design when appropriate.
Porcelain veneers can address chips, gaps, discoloration, and shape concerns when appropriate for your oral health. I focus on natural-looking results through personalized smile design, including mockups so you can preview shade and shape. Candidacy depends on your bite, gum health, and realistic goals.
Veneers may address chips, gaps, discoloration, and shape concerns when appropriate for your oral health. They are not right for every situation - I assess whether veneers, bonding, whitening, or restorative care is the better path.
Design is tailored to your facial features, lip line, and bite. We work with our lab on custom shade and shape, and mockups let you see proportions in your mouth before we finalize restorations.
Your visit begins with a conversation about your goals and an exam. I explain candidacy, care requirements, and realistic outcomes so you can make an informed decision.
Bonding applies composite material directly to the tooth in one visit for minor changes. Veneers are custom porcelain restorations designed for more comprehensive shape and color updates when appropriate for your oral health.
