Veneers
The Basics of Treatment How Porcelain Veneers Work
Porcelain veneers are thin shells crafted from lifelike dental porcelain. Most veneers are less than one millimeter thick, allowing them to blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Our dentist removes a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneer. Then, the custom-designed shell adheres to the surface of the tooth.
With the porcelain veneer in place, cosmetic imperfections are hidden from view. Your friends and family won't be able to tell that your smile is not completely natural.

At our Albuquerque practice, we use dental veneers to cover imperfect teeth and produce more aesthetically pleasing smiles.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Natural Appearance
The porcelain used to make veneers perfectly resembles natural enamel and can be color-matched to the shade of your smile. At any distance and in any light, dental veneers look like real teeth.
Durable Porcelain Material
Porcelain veneers are made to last, allowing you to eat almost anything without worrying about fractures. With good oral hygiene and proper care, veneers can last 10 years or more.Dramatic Results
Porcelain veneers are incredibly popular in modern cosmetic dentistry. A single dental veneer can make a major difference, and a few porcelain veneers can create a totally renewed smile.Curious about Veneers? Request a Consultation Today
