Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They change the shape, color, and overall appearance of your smile in a way that looks completely natural.
For patients who want a significant cosmetic improvement without major restorative work, they're one of the most effective options available.
At Burns Dentistry, porcelain veneers are custom made to improve the appearance of chipped, worn, discolored, uneven, irregularly shaped, or spaced teeth.

Who Are Porcelain Veneers For?
Porcelain veneers may be a good fit for patients who want to improve the appearance of otherwise healthy teeth. They are most often used when the goal is cosmetic: changing the shape, color, length, spacing, or overall balance of the smile.
They are not the right solution for every tooth or every patient. That is why the consultation matters.
More versatile than most people realize.
What Veneers Can Address
Dental veneers are commonly associated with teeth whitening and discoloration, but they do considerably more. They can be used to close small gaps, correct chips and cracks, improve uneven or worn teeth, reshape teeth that are irregularly sized, and improve minor crowding when appearance is the concern.
In many cases, one set of dental veneers can address several concerns at once.
Custom made. Permanently bonded.
How the Process Works
A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to ensure a natural fit and smooth result. Impressions are taken and sent to a lab where your veneers are custom fabricated to match the shade and shape we've designed together. A temporary veneer protects the tooth in the meantime.
Once the final veneers are ready, we check the fit, appearance, and feel before bonding them to the front surfaces of your teeth.
Worth knowing.
Veneers Are Permanent
Because a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation, dental veneers are a permanent commitment. The tooth will always require a veneer or similar restoration going forward. This is worth understanding clearly before deciding. We'll make sure you do.
Porcelain veneers are also stain resistant, which means they hold their appearance well over time with normal dental care.
You’ll still need to brush, floss, and keep up with regular dental visits to protect the teeth and gums around them.
