Your Porcelain Veneer Questions Answered

Porcelain veneers are the simplest way to transform your smile. Here, Dr. Joyce Kahng of Orange And Magnolia Dental Studio in Costa Mesa, CA, answers your porcelain veneer queries.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Wafer-thin laminates of porcelain attached to front-facing teeth to alter their appearance. They can eliminate chips and unwanted gaps and correct crooked, odd-sized, or pointy teeth.

How Long Does The Veneer Procedure Take? 

It takes at least two appointments. After a consultation, we reshape your teeth and take your bite impressions so our lab technician can craft your veneers, which will take two to three weeks. During your second visit, we inspect the veneers’ fit and appearance before using dental cement to bond them to your teeth.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

They can last 10-15 years, although we have seen patients with veneers that lasted 20 years. Their lifespan depends on how you care for them.
