There are things about your smile you can change with good hygiene and routine care, and things that simply stay the same no matter how well you brush. Discoloration from medication or aging, chipped edges, gaps between teeth, or a shape that has always felt slightly off; these are the kinds of concerns that preventive care alone cannot fix. Porcelain veneers offer a way to address several of these issues at once, with results that look natural and last for years.
At Johns Creek Dental Associates, veneers are one of several cosmetic dentistry options we offer for patients who want to make meaningful improvements to their smile. Whether you are looking to refine one tooth or transform your entire smile, we build a plan around your goals and your unique dental anatomy.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their color, shape, size, or overall appearance. Each veneer is crafted from dental porcelain, a material chosen for its ability to mimic the translucency and light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. The result is a restoration that looks like a real tooth, not an obvious cosmetic fix.
A systematic review published through the National Institutes of Health found a 10-year cumulative survival rate of 95.5% for porcelain laminate veneers across 6,500 cases, making them one of the most durable options in cosmetic dentistry. With proper care and regular checkups, many patients enjoy their veneers for well over a decade.
Veneers are a versatile option that can address a range of cosmetic concerns in a single treatment. Our team will assess your teeth and discuss whether veneers are the right fit for your goals before moving forward with any treatment plan.
Some types of staining do not respond to professional whitening, including discoloration caused by tetracycline, fluorosis, or natural aging of the enamel. Veneers cover the front surface of the tooth entirely, providing a permanently bright and consistent color that holds up to coffee, tea, and other staining beverages far better than natural enamel.
Teeth take a great deal of wear over time, and minor chips or worn edges can significantly affect the appearance of a smile. A veneer restores the original contour of the tooth and protects the underlying enamel from further wear. For patients who grind their teeth, we often recommend pairing veneers with a custom night guard to extend the life of the restoration.
Small gaps between teeth or slight crowding can sometimes be addressed with veneers rather than orthodontic treatment. For patients who want a straighter-looking smile without braces or aligners, veneers may offer a faster path to the result they are looking for. For more significant alignment concerns, we may recommend exploring Invisalign alongside or instead of veneers.
Getting veneers typically takes place over two appointments. At the first visit, a small amount of enamel is gently prepared from the front surface of each tooth to create space for the veneer. Impressions are then taken and sent to a dental lab, where your custom veneers are fabricated. Temporary veneers are placed while your permanent ones are being created.
At the second appointment, the temporary veneers are removed, and the custom-made porcelain veneers are bonded into place. We check the fit, color, and bite carefully before finalizing the placement. The result is a smile that looks and feels like your own. You can see examples of cosmetic results from our practice in our smile gallery, which includes before-and-after photos from real patients.
For patients who feel anxious about dental work, our sedation dentistry options can make the veneer process more comfortable. Nitrous oxide is available for patients of all ages who want a calmer experience during longer appointments.
At Johns Creek Dental Associates, we believe a great cosmetic result starts with listening. Our team takes the time to understand what each patient wants from their smile and designs a plan to get them there using techniques developed through her ongoing advanced training in cosmetic procedures. Our attention to aesthetics and our commitment to patient-centered care make every veneer case a collaborative process from start to finish. Learn more about our team here.
