What are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Porcelain dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells attached to front of uneven, chipped, broken, or discolored teeth to give you the ideal beautiful smile. Many people get between six to eight veneers on their top front teeth in order to create a highly esthetic symmetrical smile.
Most Common Reasons You May Need Porcelain Dental Veneers

Do not let the cosmetic imperfections of your teeth hold you back from sharing your beautiful smile with the world.

Types of Dental Veneers
Esthetic dental veneers comprise of two types: Porcelain veneers and lithium disilicate (eMax) veneers. Both Porcelain veneers and lithium disilicate (eMax) veneers will create an esthetically beautiful smile that is natural, luster, and stain resistant.
Porcelain Dental Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers can help you achieve your perfect smile with minimal removal of tooth structure. Porcelain dental veneers are 0.5mm thin porcelain ceramic shells that mimic the light-reflecting properties of a natural tooth, but they are stain-resistant to keep your smile bright longer. Porcelain dental veneers are more opaque and less transparent compared to eMax veneers. Porcelain veneers are prone to chipping and cracking because of their thickness, especially in patients that bite into hard foods/objects or grind their teeth. A night guard would be recommended for patients that have bruxism (grinding teeth).
eMax Veneers
eMax veneers are the ideal cosmetic treatment to achieve the highest esthetic smile. eMax veneers are 0.3-0.5mm thin lithium disilicate glass-ceramic shells that give them greater translucency and strength. eMax veneers are harder and thinner than porcelain veneers. The semi-transparent properties of eMax veneers are a closer match to natural teeth. Due to the physical properties of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, eMax veneers are very durable and can last 20 years or more with proper dental care, such as brushing, flossing and routine checkups.
Special care with Porcelain Dental Veneers
To preserve the integrity of your veneers, cut food into small bites when eating. Porcelain dental veneers are sturdy, but biting directly into hard foods like apples can create stress on the veneers and eventually fracture the veneers. It is especially important to maintain good oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing to ensure that your dental veneers will last for many years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to get veneers?
Cost of veneers per tooth can vary significantly depending on where you live. eMax veneers can range from $1,000 to $2,500 per tooth.
How long do veneers last?
Veneers last between 10 to 15 years, but their longevity depend on the patient’s oral hygiene.
Do veneers hurt?
Advancement in dentistry has made getting dental veneers a pain-free process. Local anesthetics are used to ensure patient comfort and a painless dental experience. Patients can experience some soreness and tenderness in numbing sites afterwards, which can be remedied with over-the-counter pain medications.
Are veneers worth the money?
Veneers can provide an immediate and dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile, making them a valuable investment for those looking to enhance their smile.
Do they have to shave your teeth for veneers?
Teeth prepared for veneers are shaved down slightly to accommodate the veneer’s thickness. Dental veneers involve removing a small portion of the enamel to accommodate the veneer’s thickness. It’s a permanent alteration. If veneers need to be removed or replaced, it usually involves replacing them with new veneers.
Can veneers be done in one day?
Getting dental veneers involve two visits to the dentist. At first visit, prepare the teeth, take impressions and place on temporary veneers. At second visit, cement your permanent veneers. Getting dental veneers usually takes two weeks.
Can you get veneers on top teeth only?
Veneers are not required for all the teeth in mouth. Veneers are meant to dramatically change your smile; therefore, the upper 6 front teeth are the most common teeth with dental veneers.
What are the best veneers for front teeth?
Porcelain veneers and eMax veneeers are the most popular dental veneers. eMax veneers are the best veneers for front teeth because they have the best translucency that mimic natural teeth. eMax veneers provide the highest esthetic for your smile.
Can you get cavities with veneers?
You cannot get cavities on the veneers, but you can get cavities on the part of your tooth that is not covered by veneers. Therefore, it is especially important to maintain good oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing to ensure that your investment will last for many years.
Can I bite into an apple with veneers?
You should not bite into an apple with veneers. Dental veneers are sturdy, but biting directly into hard foods like apples can create stress on the veneers and eventually fracture the veneers. To preserve the integrity of your veneers, cut food into small bites when eating.
Can an electric toothbrush damage veneers?
Electric toothbrushes cannot damage veneers.
