Worn down, chipped, or broken teeth

Do Porcelain Veneers Take a Long Time?

No, porcelain veneers do not take a long time to place. In most cases, the entire process can be completed in just two or three appointments. The appointments typically take one to two hours, but after an initial consultation we can give you a better idea of how long your treatment will take.

Caring For Your Mouth After Porcelain Veneers

Once your veneers are in place, it is important to take care of your mouth so that they last. Be sure to brush and floss regularly and see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. Also, avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, as this can damage your veneers.

What Are Porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers represent the pinnacle of cosmetic dentistry, offering a transformative solution for anyone looking to enhance their smile. At DC Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we specialize in these custom-made, thin layers of porcelain, meticulously crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth.


Veneers are not just a cosmetic procedure; they are a commitment to improving the appearance and health of your natural teeth. Made from high-quality porcelain, these veneers are designed to mimic the color, shape, and luminosity of your teeth, blending seamlessly for a natural and radiant smile. They are ideal for addressing a range of dental concerns, from discoloration and chips to gaps and misalignment.


The process of getting porcelain veneers is straightforward yet precise, involving the careful preparation of your tooth's surface. This typically includes a minimal and safe removal of enamel, ensuring the veneers fit perfectly and look completely natural. Unlike composite veneer options or pop-on veneers, porcelain veneers are a more permanent solution, bonded directly to the surfaces of your teeth for a durable and long-lasting effect.


Porcelain veneers differ from other dental treatments like dental crowns or composite resin inlays in that they primarily focus on the front surface of your teeth, enhancing your smile while maintaining the majority of your natural tooth structure. This approach not only improves the aesthetic aspect but also contributes positively to your oral health.

Choosing porcelain veneers at DC Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry means opting for a treatment that balances cosmetic appeal with functional benefits. Our experienced team, led by dental professionals like Dr. Jennifer Archibald DDS and Dr. Christine Frank DDS, ensures that every step of the veneer procedure, from your initial appointment to the final placement, is executed with the highest standard of care and expertise.


In the next sections, we will delve deeper into the benefits, procedure, and care for porcelain veneers, guiding you through every aspect of this life-changing cosmetic dental solution.


Natural Looking Veneers

At DC Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, our expertise lies in crafting veneers that not only improve your smile but also retain the natural essence of your oral health and appearance. The key to our success in creating natural-looking veneers lies in our personalized and meticulous approach, along with the use of high-quality materials and advanced technology.

This customization extends to the color, shape, and size of the veneer, ensuring it complements your natural teeth and enhances your overall smile. Whether it's porcelain laminates or composite veneers, our focus is on creating a result that looks and feels like your own teeth.
  • Advanced Digital Imaging and Dental Technology: Utilizing the latest in digital dentistry, including digital imaging and impressions, we ensure that each veneer is a precise fit for the tooth's surface. This technology helps in accurately replicating the nuances of your natural tooth structure, resulting in a flawless, natural appearance.
  • Attention to Detail in Tooth Preparation: The process of preparing your teeth for veneers, such as enamel removed, is done with utmost care to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. This careful preparation is crucial in ensuring that the veneers sit perfectly on the teeth and gums, maintaining the integrity and health of your natural teeth.
  • Expertise of Our Dental Team: Led by experienced cosmetic dentists like Jennifer Archibald DDS and Christine Frank DDS, our team ensures that every aspect of the veneer procedure, from the initial cosmetic consultation to the final placement, is conducted with a focus on creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. Our dental professionals are skilled in various cosmetic procedures, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your dental treatment.
  • High-Quality Materials for Lasting Results: We use only the best materials, such as porcelain and composite resin, known for their durability and resemblance to natural tooth enamel. This choice of materials not only ensures the longevity of your veneers but also contributes to their natural look and feel.
  • Collaboration with Renowned Dental Labs: Our partnership with top dental laboratories ensures that every veneer is crafted with precision and artistry. These labs, equipped with the latest in dental technology, assist us in creating veneers that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
