Porcelain Veneers — Custom-Designed, Precisely Fit
A great veneer case isn't about how white the teeth are. It's about proportion, translucency, and the way porcelain catches light. We design every case digitally first — so you see your new smile before we touch a tooth.
Veneers done right
A porcelain veneer is a thin ceramic shell bonded to the front of a tooth. Done well, they correct chips, discoloration, spacing, and shape — while looking completely natural. Done poorly, they look like "veneer teeth" from twenty feet away: too white, too thick, too square.
The difference is almost always in the planning. Most veneer failures come from two things: not designing the case before prep, and using porcelain that's too opaque. We solve both with digital smile design and hand-selected porcelain from top-tier labs.
- Designed digitally first. We model your new smile in Exocad before touching any tooth. You approve the design before prep.
- Minimally invasive prep. We preserve as much natural enamel as possible — in some cases, no prep at all.
- Natural-looking porcelain. Lab-fabricated feldspathic or pressed ceramic with layered translucency. Not the opaque, chalky look.
- Precision bonded by Dr. Siddiqui personally. The bond is what makes a veneer last. It's done by hand, under magnification, one tooth at a time.
From consultation to final smile
Expect 2–3 visits over about three weeks.
Consult & digital design
Photos, scans, and a conversation about what you want. We model your new smile digitally and show you a preview before any treatment starts.
Mock-up & approval
We can try the design in your mouth as a temporary composite mock-up, so you see the new smile on your face before committing.
Prep & temporaries
Minimal tooth reduction (often 0.3–0.5 mm), digital impression, and lab-crafted temporary veneers placed same-day.
Final bond
Custom porcelain veneers arrive from lab. Precision-bonded one at a time under magnification. Final polish and bite check.
What makes ours different
Anyone can sell veneers. The difference is in how they're designed, fabricated, and bonded.
Smile design first
We design the final smile digitally before any tooth is touched. You approve the look before we commit. No surprises at delivery.
Enamel preservation
We prep as little tooth as possible — in many cases, 0.3–0.5 mm or less. Some cases need no prep at all. More enamel = better long-term bond.
Layered, not monolithic
We favor layered feldspathic or e.max veneers with multiple translucency zones. The teeth catch light the way real teeth do.
Real patient, real porcelain
A recent upper-arch veneer case. Spacing, edge wear, and discoloration — addressed with layered porcelain designed to catch light the way natural enamel does.
Veneer pricing
Simple and flat: $1,600 per tooth for porcelain veneers. Most smile cases are 6, 8, or 10 veneers — covering the teeth that show when you smile.
