“I love my teeth and my smile. The work was done very softly and pleasant, and Dr. Gross and his team really cared and even worked on “odd” hours as I was a bit pushed for time leaving USA for Europe. Thank you Dr. Gross – Thank you Renee and the rest of the team – You are great!”

Questions About Porcelain Veneers
Miami, Florida
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are contact-lens thin, custom-created ceramic coverings bonded to the front of your teeth. They are an excellent solution for many common dental issues and a popular choice for creating a beautiful smile.
What dental issues can porcelain veneers correct?
- Crooked teeth
- Misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Broken or chipped teeth
Are porcelain veneers used on both top and bottom teeth?
They can be. Your SmilePerfect dentist will tell you what is best for your teeth after a thorough examination and consultation to discuss your needs. Each patient is different, and your SmilePerfect dentist will customize a solution just for you.
Can porcelain veneers develop stains over time?
Porcelain veneers do not stain like natural teeth from smoking, coffee, tea or dark wines. As long as the porcelain maintains its glaze, it is very stain-resistant. If you mistreat your veneers, it is possible that they might stain. Do not use overly abrasive toothpastes and be sure to see your SmilePerfect dentist regularly for checkups.
Can porcelain veneers build up plaque like natural teeth?
Following a regimen of excellent at-home oral care and regular dental visits should prevent plaque buildup. While your porcelain veneers will help to resist plaque buildup, ignoring your oral health is not recommended, as plaque will eventually occur. Regular brushing and flossing combined with periodic dental visits is always the best way to prevent plaque buildup.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are permanently bonded to your natural teeth and are very strong. While they may last up to ten years with good care, each experience is unique and there are no hard and fast rules. They won’t last forever, but good home care and good judgment will help you enjoy your veneers for many years.
Do porcelain veneers need special care?
Excellent oral hygiene is the only regular care your veneers need. Avoid stressing your veneers by using your teeth as can openers, to crack nuts, or to perform any tasks other than chewing food. Don’t clench or grind your teeth. Avoid foods that stain, as well as cigarettes.
