Transform your smile with ultra-thin, custom-crafted ceramic shells designed to mimic natural tooth enamel and correct deep discoloration, chips, and shape concerns.
Porcelain veneers offer a comprehensive cosmetic transformation by covering the entire front surface of your teeth. We custom-design each veneer to complement your facial features, your skin tone, and the natural translucency of real tooth enamel. We help you address:
Feature | Porcelain Veneers | Composite Bonding |
|---|---|---|
Material | Custom-crafted dental ceramic fabricated in a specialized laboratory | Tooth-colored composite resin sculpted directly in our office |
Durability | Highly stain-resistant and typically lasts ten to fifteen years | Prone to wear and minor staining over time, requiring earlier replacement |
Ideal Use | Comprehensive smile makeovers and masking severe discoloration | Minor chips, small gaps, and quick single-tooth cosmetic repairs |
We evaluate your oral health and use digital scanning to map out your proposed smile in 3D so you can preview the aesthetic results.
We gently reshape a minimal amount of enamel to ensure your veneers fit naturally without looking bulky against your gumline.
A specialized dental laboratory crafts your ceramic veneers to match our precise digital specifications and your chosen shade.
We permanently bond the custom veneers to your teeth and make careful bite adjustments so they function and feel like your own teeth.
When Dr. Mohammad Hammoud designs your porcelain veneers, he ensures your cosmetic dentistry never looks artificial. He utilizes advanced Digital Smile Design to plan your restorations, allowing you to preview your new smile before we prepare any teeth. We ensure your final veneers blend seamlessly with your natural facial proportions, prioritizing a healthy foundation and clinical precision over cookie-cutter aesthetics.
With proper home care and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers typically last ten to fifteen years, offering one of the most durable smile enhancements available.
No. We conservatively remove a fraction of a millimeter of enamel to ensure the veneer sits flush with your gumline, keeping the underlying tooth structure healthy and protected.
High-quality dental porcelain is highly resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco, keeping your new smile bright for years.
Because we must remove a small amount of enamel for a proper fit, the veneer process is permanent and requires you to maintain restorations on those teeth for life.
If you want to correct deep discoloration or structural concerns, contact our Dearborn team to see if porcelain veneers are right for you.
