Understand the option
What treatment
involves.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made coverings placed on the front of teeth. Your dentist can discuss the shape, shade and number of teeth involved, along with preparation and alternatives.
What to consider
Removing enamel is irreversible. Veneers can chip, loosen or need repair or replacement over time. Ask what the proposed treatment means for your teeth over the long term.
Questions worth asking
- Why is porcelain being recommended for me?
- How will shade and shape be planned?
- What are the risks and future maintenance needs?
