Porcelain veneers
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are water-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.

Am i a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Since veneers can lead a wide range of concerns, several patients can benefit from this treatment. However, there are certain reasons why veneers may not be right for you. Dr. Alfredo Ballesteros can perform a full oral health exam and determine whether an alternative treatment, such as teeth whitening or Invisalign®, may be a better choice.
​
To qualify for porcelain veneers, you should have:
Good Dental Hygiene
Veneers require a proper maintenance to remain beautiful and healthy.
Sufficient Tooth Structure
If you have thin enamel or large decays, veneers may not be the right cosmetic option for you.
Balanced Bite
Severe clenching or grinding can stress your veneers and cause them to break.
Reasonably Straight Teeth
For more severe misalignment, Ortho treatment is your best option.
Good Oral Health
We can address issues such as decay or gum disease before placing veneers.
Minimally Invasive Veneer Philosophy
This philosophy requires advanced cosmetic studies to perform it. Dr Ballesteros and his team will always treat each case to do a minimally invasive preparation (when applicable).
​
Some veneers can be placed WITHOUT reshaping or contouring of your teeth.
