Let's Get Started!

Porcelain Veneers

Another morning of waking up to find your dream smile didn’t materialize overnight. You decide today is the day! You’re finally calling your cosmetic dentist to learn about the possibilities for improvement.

Many of us put up with chipped or worn teeth, stubborn stains, or gaps that make us cover our mouths in case a smile sneaks out. Porcelain veneers at Temple Dental Trails are a transformative cosmetic dental treatment that addresses these common concerns and many others.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells, about the thickness of a contact lens, custom-crafted to cover the front surfaces of teeth that show when you smile. Dental porcelain resembles the translucent appearance of tooth enamel, so your veneers look just like your smile, only better.

Problems Veneers Address

The cosmetic dentists at our Temple, TX, dental practice use veneers to transform smiles by concealing:

Chipped or worn teeth
Stubborn stains and discoloration
Gaps between teeth
Teeth that appear too small or short
Minor alignment issues
Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth

Reasons to Choose Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are great for concealing all those smile flaws that make you want to hide your smile. But those aren't the only benefits!

Two-Visit Convenience

Most of our patients achieve their dream smile in just two appointments, making veneers one of the most efficient cosmetic treatments available.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care, high-quality porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years with proper care, including routine teeth cleanings and excellent at-home oral hygiene.

Stain Resistant Surface

Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers have a super-smooth surface that resists staining from coffee, red wine, and other culprits, for a long-lasting, bright smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for porcelain veneers?

Caring for porcelain veneers is surprisingly simple. Treat them just like your natural teeth with consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. With proper care, your veneers can maintain their beauty and strength for 10–15 years or longer.

Your Daily Hygiene Routine

Brush twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush
Floss daily to keep gums healthy at the veneer margins
Rinse with water after consuming staining foods or beverages

While porcelain veneers resist staining better than natural teeth, the bonding material at the edges can discolor over time without proper oral hygiene.

Routine Dental Visits

Visit your dentist in Temple, TX at Temple Dental Trails every six months for professional cleanings and checkups. These appointments allow us to monitor your veneers, polish them to maintain their luster, and catch any potential issues early.

Protecting Your Veneers

Avoid biting fingernails, chewing ice, or opening packages with your teeth
Wear a custom nightguard if you grind your teeth while sleeping
Use caution when biting into hard foods like apples or crusty bread

Most patients find that caring for veneers requires no lifestyle changes; just continue the healthy oral hygiene habits you already practice. Your veneers are designed to function just like natural teeth, giving you a beautiful smile that fits seamlessly into your daily routine.

Please call Temple Dental Trails if you have more questions or need to schedule an appointment.

Steps for Getting Porcelain Veneers

Strong Foundation — Before recommending veneers, we’ll carefully evaluate your smile to ensure good underlying oral health. We’ll recommend first treating any issues, such as cavities or gum disease, that could compromise your restorations later.
Individualized Treatment Plan — Next, we spend time collaborating with you to develop a personalized plan. We want to understand your goals, lifestyle, and budget to create a smile that fits your life in every way while exceeding your expectations.
Artistry in Smile Design — Each transformation with veneers provides our dentists with an opportunity to showcase their artistic skills in smile design. You are unique, and we’ll ensure the results enhance your natural beauty while giving you a fresh, new look.
Fast Results — Getting veneers typically requires only two visits: one to choose a shade, prepare your teeth, take impressions, and place temporaries; a second to permanently place the veneers and secure them in place.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?

While porcelain veneers are ideal for many patients, we'll explain the pros and cons so you have all the information you need to make a confident decision.

One consideration is that we need to remove a thin layer of tooth enamel to accommodate the veneers’ thickness. This process is irreversible. You may not want to commit to a lifetime of veneers or need a more budget-friendly alternative, such as composite veneers. We aim to help you make the best decision for your needs.
