What Are Porcelain Veneers?
A porcelain veneer is a wafer-thin shell of dental-grade porcelain custom-made to fit over the front surface of your tooth. Veneers correct the color, shape, size, and alignment of teeth — giving you a complete smile transformation without removing healthy tooth structure or undergoing surgical procedures.
Unlike composite veneers, porcelain veneers are fabricated in a professional dental laboratory to exacting specifications, providing superior durability, stain resistance, and a natural translucency that closely mimics real tooth enamel. With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dental treatments available. Our Novi patients choose veneers to correct:
- Stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gapped or spaced teeth
- Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
- Teeth that are too small or irregularly shaped
- Worn enamel affecting the appearance of your smile
If you are dealing with multiple concerns at once, veneers can address all of them simultaneously — making them one of the most efficient paths to a complete smile makeover in Novi.
Both types of veneers improve the appearance of your smile, but there are important differences:
Porcelain Veneers:
- Material: Dental-grade porcelain, lab-fabricated
- Appearance: Highly natural, translucent, stain-resistant
- Durability: 10–20 years with proper care
- Process: Two appointments — preparation and bonding
- Best for: Patients wanting the most natural, longest-lasting result
Composite Veneers:
- Material: Tooth-colored resin applied chairside
- Appearance: Good, but less translucent than porcelain
- Durability: 5–7 years on average
- Process: Single appointment
- Best for: Minor corrections on a tighter budget or timeline
Our team will help you determine which option best fits your goals, budget, and timeline during your initial consultation.
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for patients who:
- Have healthy teeth and gums — any decay or gum disease must be treated before veneer placement
- Want to correct cosmetic concerns that whitening or bonding alone cannot address
- Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene habits
- Do not grind or clench their teeth heavily — or are willing to wear a night guard for protection
- Want a long-lasting, low-maintenance cosmetic solution
During your consultation at our Novi office, our team will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether porcelain veneers are the right choice for your smile goals. Schedule your appointment today.
Getting porcelain veneers at My Family Dental is a comfortable, straightforward process completed in two appointments:
Appointment 1 — Consultation and preparation Our team evaluates your teeth and discusses your smile goals in detail. A small, precise amount of enamel is gently removed from the front surface of each tooth to create space for the veneer. Impressions are taken and sent to our trusted dental laboratory where your custom veneers are crafted to exact specifications. Temporary veneers are placed so you can carry on with daily life comfortably while your final veneers are being made.
Appointment 2 — Bonding and final placement Once your custom porcelain veneers are ready, you return to our Novi office. Each veneer is carefully checked for fit, shape, and color before being permanently bonded to your tooth. Final adjustments ensure a perfect, natural-looking result you will love.
Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers
Learn how our veneers can enhance your smile as we answer our patients’ top questions about this procedure.
The lifespan of veneers depends on the material they’re made from. Porcelain is stronger than composite. Therefore, it lasts longer. Typically, porcelain veneers last around 10 years, but can last much longer, if taken care of properly.
Veneers are thin sheaths crafted from dental-grade porcelain or other materials that go over the teeth. The benefits of veneers go beyond the cosmetic effects as they help to preserve natural tooth structure and overall oral health. Common reasons our patients get veneers include:
- Straightening crooked teeth
- Correcting misshapen teeth
- Whitening severely discolored or stained teeth
- Adjusting teeth that are the wrong size
- Removing unwanted or uneven spacing between teeth
- Repairing worn or chipped teeth
Regardless of why you’re getting veneers, our team will discuss the best options for your smile at your initial consultation.
Rather than being made at an off-site location, composite veneers are applied directly to your teeth and molded by your dentist. Meanwhile, porcelain veneers are created in a lab. While both materials can be used for veneers, porcelain is recommended over composites because of its strength and durability.
