If you’re looking for an upgraded, natural-looking smile, you may want to talk to your dentist about porcelain veneers. Veneers are a great option for patients looking to address dental concerns with one or multiple teeth. In today’s blog post, we take a closer look at porcelain veneers and discuss who might be a good candidate for this dental restoration.
What Are Veneers?
Porcelain veneers, made of thin, translucent porcelain that covers the front and sides of your teeth, are customized cosmetic restorations created for each patient’s specific needs. We permanently bond the material onto the teeth for a long-lasting solution. Porcelain veneers fix a wide variety of dental issues, including teeth that are:
- Close gapped
- Chipped, cracked, or broken
- Misshapen
- Discolored
- Damaged
- Crooked
Four Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
First, porcelain veneers are customizable. At Maitland Ave Smile Co., we strive to make our dental work look as natural as possible. With this goal in mind, we color-match and mold our veneers to give you the smile of your dreams.
Second, porcelain veneers are created to last for many years when cared for properly. In fact, 95 percent of veneers were still intact after 10 years, according to research published by the British Dental Association. Even better, they are relatively low-maintenance. Your dentist will discuss aftercare instructions with you to ensure a lasting, beautiful smile.
Third, they boost a patient’s confidence. If a crooked, missing, or chipped tooth has done a number to your self-esteem, veneers help to improve your self image with a smile that you’ll be proud to show off.
Finally, porcelain veneers work well for so many people thanks to the number of dental concerns that they can treat. If you are facing multiple dental issues, veneers can address a wide variety of problems, serving as your one-stop-shop for a beautiful smile!

Our porcelain veneer process is easy and efficient. Dr. Miller, Dr. Solberg, and Dr. Williams work with each patient to create a unique treatment plan based on their individual needs.
To ensure that your new smile looks as natural as possible, your dentist first removes a small amount of the impacted teeth. Next, they take proper measurements and images of your teeth. Then, they send them off to a lab where up-to-date technology creates veneers that mimic your natural teeth. As we wait for your veneers, our team installs a temporary set. Lastly, once we receive your permanent veneers, we replace the temporary ones. You’ll be on your way with a beautiful new smile!
