What Cosmetic Issues Can Be Resolved with Veneers?
Not all smiles are naturally beautiful. However, you can enhance your smile’s beauty with porcelain veneers. This cosmetic dental treatment can correct multiple imperfections in your teeth to transform your smile’s appearance. At Newport Smiles, we offer porcelain veneers to our patients in Newport Beach, California, and nearby communities. Here are some questions Dr. Aarti Puri and our team are often asked about this procedure.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, porcelain shells placed over the surface of your teeth to improve their esthetics. These shells are custom-crafted in a lab to match your natural teeth for an authentic appearance. Veneers are designed to cover imperfections like chips, stains, gaps, or crooked teeth to give your smile a pleasing, unblemished appearance.
Am I a good candidate for porcelain veneers?
You need to maintain good oral health to get veneers because dentists can only place them on healthy teeth. Dr. Puri will assess your oral health and the problems you’d like to address to see if veneers can correct them. If so, we can set goals for improving your smile and outline a treatment plan.
What cosmetic issues can be resolved with veneers?
Veneers can be used to address the following imperfections in your smile:
- Chips or cracks

What’s the process of getting veneers?
A smile makeover with veneers starts with a consultation to assess the problems you want to fix and determine if veneers are your best option for correcting them. We’ll discuss your objectives for veneer treatment and set smile goals to achieve them.
Next, Dr. Puri will prepare your teeth to receive veneers by removing a thin enamel layer, allowing your restorations to lay flush against your tooth surface. Impressions are made of your teeth to create customized veneers. Meanwhile, we’ll cover your prepped teeth with temporary restorations to protect them from harm. When your porcelain restorations are ready to be fitted, we’ll remove the temporaries and permanently bond your porcelain veneers in place, giving your smile a dazzling new look.
How do I care for veneers?
You’ll be happy to hear that caring for veneers is fairly simple. You brush and floss your teeth like normal and see your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. We also recommend avoiding hard and sticky foods as they can chip or crack your veneers or cause them to become loose.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain is a resilient, stain-resistant material that can withstand years of biting and chewing. With proper oral care, porcelain veneers can last 15 or more years.
