Veneers cover the front surface of my teeth, while crowns cover more of each tooth. My dentist can recommend the right option for me.

Dental veneers can be customized to match my natural teeth in shape, color, and size, helping me achieve a balanced, natural-looking smile.

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded on the front surface of your existing teeth. A single veneer or multiple veneers can be placed depending on your needs and goals. Veneers don’t change your imperfections, but they can permanently cover them up to create a smile appearance that you’ve always wanted. To this end, they are only used for cosmetic reasons.
