A Smile That Looks This Good, Every Day
Whether you’re bothered by stains, chipped teeth, small gaps, or uneven shapes, porcelain veneers can help you create a smile that feels more like you. Dr. Khan takes the time to understand what you’d like to change and design veneers that look natural, complement your features, and fit comfortably.
Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference
When you don’t feel comfortable with your smile, it can affect everyday moments, from laughing with friends to speaking in photos. Porcelain veneers offer a long-lasting way to improve the appearance of your teeth while preserving a natural look.
Every veneer is custom-made to blend with your smile, so the final result doesn’t look artificial or overdone. Instead, you’ll have a smile that feels balanced, healthy, and uniquely yours.
Porcelain veneers can help improve:
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Deep staining that doesn’t respond to whitening
- Small gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Minor alignment concerns
- Teeth that vary in size or proportion
If discoloration is your only concern, we may recommend professional teeth whitening before considering veneers. If you’re looking to straighten your smile, Invisalign® may also be an option. We’ll help you compare your choices so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. Each veneer is designed specifically for your smile, taking into account the shape, size, color, and overall balance of your teeth.
Because porcelain reflects light similarly to natural enamel, veneers provide beautiful, realistic results that can last for many years with proper care. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and determine whether veneers are the best option for your smile.
What to Expect During Treatment
-
Consultation
We’ll discuss what you’d like to change, examine your smile, and create a personalized treatment plan.
-
Smile Preparation
A small amount of enamel may be gently removed to create room for your veneers. Impressions or digital scans are then taken to ensure a precise fit.
-
Veneer Placement
Once your custom veneers are ready, we’ll carefully bond each one into place, making any final adjustments to ensure they look and feel natural.
You’ll leave with a refreshed smile that’s designed to look beautiful while still feeling like your own.
