What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made ceramic shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of:
- Discoloration or stains that don’t respond to whitening
- Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
- Gaps or uneven spacing
- Slight misalignment or irregular tooth shapes
- Teeth that appear too short or too narrow
Each veneer is crafted to match your natural enamel in shade, texture, and translucency — for results that designed to be noticeable and natural-looking.
Our Veneer Process
At North Arbor Dental, we use a high-tech, design-forward approach to ensure that your veneer treatment is tailored and predictable.
Step 1: Digital Smile Design
We begin with Smile Architect or Digital Smile Design — capturing photos in our dedicated photo studio, scans, and measurements to simulate and co-plan your new smile with you.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
A thin layer of enamel is removed (often less than 0.5 mm) to make space for the veneer and ensure a natural look and fit.
Step 3: Temporary Veneers
While your final veneers are being custom fabricated, sometimes we place temporary ones so you can preview your new smile and request adjustments if needed.
Step 4: Final Placement
Once your porcelain veneers are ready, we bond them securely using advanced dental adhesives, then refine your bite and polish for a flawless finish.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
- Natural Appearance – Designed to mimic the light reflection and texture of real teeth
- Stain Resistance – Porcelain is highly stain-resistant and typically stains less than natural teeth
- Durability – With proper care, veneers can last for many years
- Minimally Invasive – Only a small amount of enamel is removed
- Custom Design – Every detail is tailored to your face, goals, and preferences
Porcelain veneers are often the foundation of full cosmetic makeovers, especially when combined with teeth whitening or Invisalign.
Are Veneers Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for veneers if you:
- Have healthy gums and enamel
- Are free of active decay or gum disease
- Do not grind your teeth excessively (or decide to wear a night guard)
- Want to enhance your smile quickly as a long-term cosmetic option
- Prefer a minimally-invasive alternative to orthodontics or crowns
We’ll evaluate your smile during your consultation to evaluate if veneers are the right choice for your goals and long-term oral health.

Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Veneers usually require removing a small amount of enamel. When properly planned and placed, they’re designed to be a conservative way to improve the appearance of a tooth, but suitability depends on your bite, enamel condition, and overall oral health. Our approach is a proper assessment and minimally invasive if you are a candidate for veneers or smile design.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a long-term treatment because a small amount of enamel is usually removed. We will provide you maintenance recommendations and evaluate need for replacement over time in case of wear, grinding, or clenching of teeth.
Do veneers stain like regular teeth?
Porcelain is highly stain-resistant. However, good hygiene and limiting dark beverages can help maintain their brightness longer.
How many veneers will I need?
It depends on your goals. Some patients choose 2–4 veneers to enhance key teeth, while others do 6–10 for a full smile transformation.
Can I finance veneer treatment?
Yes. We offer flexible financing options and payment plans to help you invest in your ideal smile comfortably.
