Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-shaped shells bonded to the front surface of a tooth to change its color, shape, size, or length. Patients often consider veneers to address chips, gaps, uneven edges, or discoloration that hasn't responded to whitening, as part of a broader smile makeover or as a standalone cosmetic adjustment.

What Veneers Can Address

Discoloration — staining that whitening alone hasn't resolved.
Chips or wear — minor structural damage to the visible tooth surface.
Shape or spacing — small gaps, uneven edges, or teeth that appear too short or irregular.

Planning Your Treatment

Dr. Adam Salm and Dr. Hayley Grandeau both emphasize listening closely to what patients want from their smile before recommending a plan. During a consultation, our intraoral cameras let you view close-up photos of your own teeth on screen, which can help clarify where veneers may be appropriate and how they might look alongside your natural teeth.

What to Expect

Consultation — discussing goals, examining teeth, and reviewing photos together.
Preparation and fitting — shaping the tooth surface and taking impressions for a custom veneer.
Placement — bonding the finished veneer and checking fit, color, and bite.
