The Ultimate Guide to Porcelain Veneers: What to Expect

Porcelain veneers have become one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental treatments, and for good reason. These ultra-thin shells of premium porcelain can transform your smile in just two visits, correcting everything from discoloration and chips to gaps and misalignment.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted, wafer-thin shells that bond to the front surface of your teeth. At Sharp Dentistry, each veneer is handmade in our in-house ceramic lab using premium feldspathic porcelain — the same material used by the world's finest dental artisans.

The Sharp Dentistry Difference

What sets our veneers apart is the combination of Dr. Sharp's artistic eye and our in-house ceramic lab. Rather than sending impressions to an outside lab, our master ceramists work alongside Dr. Sharp to ensure every veneer is a perfect match for your natural teeth, skin tone, and facial proportions.

The Process

Your veneer journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital smile design session. Using advanced imaging technology, Dr. Sharp will show you a preview of your new smile before any treatment begins. From there, minimal preparation of your natural teeth is followed by precise impressions and temporary veneers while your permanent set is crafted.

Care and Longevity

With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits — our premium porcelain veneers typically last 15 to 20 years. We recommend avoiding habits like ice chewing and using a night guard if you tend to clench or grind.
