Transform chips, gaps, and severe discoloration with custom handcrafted porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers represent the pinnacle of cosmetic dental artistry. These ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells of medical-grade ceramic are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to create a radiant, natural-looking smile.

Dr. John Nauss meticulously designs each veneer to complement your facial anatomy, skin tone, and lip dynamics, ensuring natural translucency, optimal tooth length, and lifelike light reflection.

Whether you are seeking to correct a single damaged tooth or designing a full 8 to 10 tooth smile transformation, smile simulation software lets you see your new smile on screen before anything is done.

Why Choose Custom Porcelain Veneers?

A cosmetic solution designed around your face and your goals.

  • Completely Personalized Smile Design: Customized in shape, shade, length, and surface texture to achieve your ideal aesthetic vision.
  • Highly Stain-Resistant: Glazed ceramic resists stains from coffee, tea, and berries far better than natural enamel or composite.
  • Corrects Multiple Cosmetic Flaws at Once: Simultaneously resolves deep discoloration, chipped edges, uneven lengths, and mild crookedness.
  • Preview Before You Commit: Smile simulation software shows you the proposed result before any tooth is touched.

The Porcelain Veneer Process

We begin with a comprehensive cosmetic design consultation and smile simulation. At your preparation visit, Dr. Nauss conservatively contours a fraction of a millimeter of enamel and captures digital scans.

You wear temporary veneers while your permanent porcelain restorations are handcrafted. At your delivery appointment, each veneer is bonded with high-strength resin cement.

Caring for Your New Smile

Brush and floss normally with non-abrasive toothpaste. If you clench or grind your teeth at night, we fabricate a custom nightguard to protect your veneers from excessive nocturnal biting forces.

Common Questions

Porcelain Veneers FAQ.

Frequently asked questions regarding porcelain veneers, preparation, and results.

How many porcelain veneers do I need for a smile makeover?

Most smile makeovers involve 6, 8, or 10 veneers across the upper front teeth (the "social six" or visible smile zone) to ensure complete color and symmetry balance.

Do teeth have to be shaved down for veneers?

Dr. Nauss uses minimally invasive techniques, removing only a micro-thin layer of enamel (about 0.3 to 0.5 mm, roughly the thickness of a contact lens) so the veneer sits flush without appearing bulky.

Can porcelain veneers chip or break?

High-grade porcelain veneers are remarkably strong once bonded to tooth enamel. However, avoid biting directly into hard objects like ice, bones, or metal to prevent chipping.

Will porcelain veneers look fake or too white?

No. Dr. Nauss incorporates natural translucency, subtle shading, and realistic surface texture. With smile simulation software, you can see your new smile on screen before anything is done.

How long does the entire veneer process take?

From your initial consultation and digital design to permanent bonding, the process typically takes 2 to 3 weeks across two comfortable appointments.

Can porcelain veneers be whitened if they stain?

Porcelain is highly stain-resistant, but its shade can't be changed with whitening. Regular professional cleanings keep veneers looking their best.
