Porcelain veneers are placed across all the visible teeth in the upper arch, lower arch or both — typically eight to ten teeth per arch — so shade, shape, length, surface texture and the gum-line relationship are planned as one coordinated system rather than tooth by tooth. Most full-arch cases run over three main visits, beginning with an extended consultation and planning appointment.

Yes. After the smile design and planning stage, a diagnostic wax mock-up is placed directly over your existing teeth so the proposed shape and length can be evaluated before you commit. Adjustments at that stage are made before preparation begins, and the bite is assessed comprehensively first, since veneers placed over an uncorrected bite issue wear unevenly or fracture earlier.

The most conservative option that solves the concern is recommended. Composite bonding is a single visit, requires no enamel removal in most cases, is reversible and lasts roughly five to seven years, suiting minor corrections on one to three teeth. Porcelain veneers take two to three visits, require irreversible enamel removal, resist staining more strongly and last ten to twenty years.

New cosmetic patients receive a full hour. Teeth, gums and overall oral health are evaluated before any aesthetic treatment is recommended, and chairside digital imaging is used to work through smile goals with you. Under the clinic's whole-health approach, cosmetic work only begins once the teeth and gums are on a healthy foundation.

Yes. Gum contouring reshapes the soft tissue along the gum line to correct excess or asymmetry, and is completed in a single chairside visit taking about thirty minutes to an hour depending on how many teeth are involved. It is often sequenced before veneers or a smile makeover so the gum frame is proportionate. Active gum disease must be resolved first.
