What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Thin Shells, Dramatic Results
Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth, correcting chips, gaps, and uneven edges that whitening alone can't fix. Shaped to your face and matched to a natural-looking shade, they're conservative, fast, and resistant to staining for years.
Are Veneers Right for You?
- Chips, gaps, or uneven edges bother you when you see a photo of yourself
- Whitening alone hasn’t fixed the shape, size, or spacing issues you’re self-conscious about
- You want a dramatic, natural-looking result without months of orthodontic treatment
- Your teeth and gums are otherwise healthy, with no active decay or gum disease

Porcelain Veneer FAQs
What Patients Ask About Veneers
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are strong candidates. Veneers work best for cosmetic concerns like chips, gaps, discoloration, or mildly uneven edges — Dr. Colby will confirm veneers are the right fit for your specific teeth at your consultation.
The preparation appointment uses local anesthesia, so you are numb while the teeth are prepared. Mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward is common but rarely disrupts normal routines.
With regular brushing, flossing, and checkups, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. They resist staining far better than composite bonding, which is why many patients find they last even longer than expected.
Not when they’re designed well. Dr. Colby custom-matches each veneer’s shade and shape to your face and skin tone, aiming for a result that looks like your own teeth — just even and bright.
Bonding is less expensive but stains faster and doesn’t last as long. Crowns remove more tooth structure and are usually reserved for damaged teeth. Veneers offer the most natural-looking, longest-lasting cosmetic result for healthy teeth.
Most veneer cases are completed in two visits — one for preparation and temporaries, and one for final bonding once your custom veneers return from the lab.
