The Benefits
What Porcelain Veneers Give You
Porcelain veneers change how your front teeth look with very little preparation, and at Dr. Nahlah's practice you see the design before any enamel is removed.
Covers Deep Stains
Porcelain covers the front of the tooth, so discoloration that whitening cannot shift no longer shows.
Minimal Preparation
Less than a millimeter of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth, just enough for the veneer to sit flush.
As Few as Two Visits
Once the design is settled, one appointment prepares and scans your teeth and a second fits and bonds the veneers.
Suits Your Face
Each veneer is hand-designed in size, shape and color so it sits naturally with your gum line, lips and skin tone.
Little Upkeep
Porcelain does not stain the way natural enamel does, and you look after veneers by brushing and flossing as before.
