Porcelain Veneers FAQ - Reno, NV
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, avoid biting on hard objects, and visit your dentist regularly to ensure the longevity of your veneers.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from high-quality dental porcelain and are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, chipped, misaligned, or have gaps. Veneers are an excellent cosmetic solution for achieving a beautiful and natural-looking smile.
Caring for porcelain veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, use a non-abrasive toothpaste, and avoid biting into hard objects like ice or fingernails. Regular dental check-ups at our Reno office are also essential to monitor the condition of your veneers.
Yes, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining. Unlike natural teeth, the porcelain material does not absorb pigments from foods and beverages. However, it’s still advisable to avoid excessive consumption of stain-causing substances like coffee, tea, and red wine to maintain the best results.

Porcelain veneers can address a variety of cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Misaligned or uneven teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that are worn down
The process typically involves:
- Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your cosmetic goals.
- Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to make room for the veneers.
- Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom veneers.
- Placement: Once ready, the veneers are bonded to your teeth, and any necessary adjustments are made to ensure a perfect fit.
The cost of porcelain veneers can vary based on several factors, including the number of veneers needed and the complexity of the case. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed estimate and discuss financing options to help make your dream smile attainable.
