Discover how porcelain veneers can benefit your smile and oral health by reading our helpful patient guide below.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, transparent shells that adhere to the front surface of teeth for an improved smile appearance. By carefully placing the thin layer of glass-like ceramic porcelain on the surface of your teeth, our experienced Archdale dentists can deliver a natural-looking smile that radiates beauty and provides ultimate protection.
They’re customized for each individual to match their natural teeth for a stunning appearance. Veneers are ideal for patients looking to cover up any number of minor cosmetic imperfections.

Our Porcelain Veneers Process
Your porcelain veneers treatment can be completed in as little as two appointments to our Archdale dental office. Depending on the extent of your smile goals, your treatment will consist of the following three steps:
At your initial consultation, one of our experienced dentists will map out your desired smile by determining what size, shape, and type of veneer will fit perfectly.
Next, we’ll prepare your smile by removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth so there’s enough room for your veneers to be placed. We’ll protect your teeth with a temporary restoration while we wait for your custom veneers to be created.
The final step for your smile makeover is placing your permanent veneers. Once they’re bonded to your teeth, you’ll be able to leave our office with a dazzling new smile.
Porcelain Veneer Care
With proper care and good oral hygiene, porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years or longer. Luckily, maintaining your veneers is as simple as caring for natural teeth. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash helps maintain your beautiful smile with porcelain veneers.
It’s important to visit our Archdale office for biannual dental appointments. This allows us to thoroughly clean your teeth, examine your veneers, and prevent the progression of any oral problems. We also recommend avoiding certain foods and beverages that stain teeth, such as red wine, berries, tea, and coffee. Hard foods like hard candy, popcorn, and nuts can also hurt the integrity of your veneers.
Let Triad Cosmetic Dentistry Enhance Your Smile
We know many patients’ concern for veneers is the cost of treatment. At your consultation, before moving forward with the process, you’ll be able to receive an estimate of the overall costs. Each patient is unique and the cost will depend on the number of teeth being treated.
Porcelain veneers are a superior alternative to many other cosmetic treatments because of their longevity and high level of attractiveness.
