Porcelain Veneers at Mint Dental Loft

Using thin, durable porcelain shells crafted just for you, we can create a brighter, more balanced smile while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth that show when you smile. Each veneer is custom-shaped and shaded to blend with your natural teeth or create the whiter, more uniform smile you have in mind. Veneers can address several concerns at once, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a “smile makeover” without extensive orthodontic or restorative treatment.

Because porcelain mimics the way natural enamel reflects light, well-designed veneers can be very difficult to distinguish from real teeth.

• Cover stubborn stains Great for discoloration that does not respond to whitening. Great for: long-term brightness.
• Fix chips and worn edges Restore a smoother, more youthful shape to your teeth.
• Close small gaps Make teeth appear more evenly spaced without braces in many cases.
• Improve shape and symmetry Create a more balanced, proportionate smile that suits your face.

How the Porcelain Veneer Process Works

Your veneer journey begins with a cosmetic consultation where we listen to your goals and evaluate your teeth and bite. We then design a treatment plan, often including photos, shade selection, and mock-ups to preview your new look. During the preparation visit, we gently reshape a small amount of enamel and take detailed impressions so the dental lab can craft your veneers.

Once your custom veneers are ready, we try them in, make any necessary adjustments, and bond them securely in place. You leave with a smile that feels comfortable, functions naturally, and looks like the best version of you.

• Personalized smile design We consider your face shape, lip line, and personal preferences when planning your veneers. Helpful for: achieving a natural, tailored result.
• Conservative tooth preparation Only a thin layer of enamel is removed to make room for your veneers.
• Custom temporaries (when needed) Provisional veneers can let you “test drive” your new smile while the final versions are being made.

Am I a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

You may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers if your teeth are generally healthy but you are unhappy with their color, shape, spacing, or overall appearance. Issues like active decay, gum disease, or severe grinding may need to be addressed first, and in some cases another treatment may be better suited to your needs.
