6 Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers resemble enamel and mimic the light reflecting properties of teeth, creating a natural appearance. Porcelain is stain and chip resistant.
Advantages of porcelain dental veneers:
- Natural tooth appearance
- Gentle on gum tissue
- More stain resistant than bonded veneers
- Cover discolored teeth
- Correct tooth shape without extensive shaping work
- Long-lasting (15 years or more with proper care)

Should I get Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ideal for people who want to significantly change the shape and appearance of their teeth without using crowns. Porcelain veneers create beautiful, bright smiles and protect damaged teeth.
Candidates for porcelain veneers must:
- Have good overall oral health
- Be committed to proper oral hygiene
- Have a sufficient amount of healthy, natural enamel
Porcelain veneers are more expensive than bonded veneers and are a worthwhile investment. With proper care and design, porcelain veneers can last up to 20 years.
Total Dental Care offers payment options and accepts most major dental insurance plans. We provide a 5% discount to patients with no dental insurance for services over $300 when the balance is paid in full before treatment.

Veneers: A Tooth Whitening Alternative
Porcelain veneers cover discolored teeth which are untreatable with our two-hour teeth whitening procedures. Teeth requiring veneers have typically been stained or discolored with smoking, medications or tetracycline antibiotics.
Porcelain veneers are an option for patients with sensitive teeth who find whitening treatments painful.

Porcelain Veneer Process
Total Care Dental partners with the highest quality labs in the country for our cosmetic dentistry supplies, ensuring you receive the best veneers. Receiving porcelain veneers at our Madison dental office includes 5 easy steps:
- Consultation: You will meet with your dentist to determine if porcelain veneers are right for you.
- The dentist removes the top layer of your enamel to prep the teeth for veneers and takes an impression of your teeth.
- The dentist sends the impressions to a lab, where your veneers will be carefully crafted for a perfect fit and color matched for a natural appearance. The dentist will place temporary veneers on your teeth.
- When you return to have your semi-permanent porcelain veneers placed, the dentist will thoroughly clean and lightly buff your teeth.
- The dentist secures the veneers to your teeth with dental cement and a UV light.
Having porcelain veneers placed requires little to no anesthesia and can be completed in two appointments following a consultation. New veneers require the same oral hygiene routine as your natural teeth: brushing twice a day and daily flossing. The dentist may schedule a follow up appointment to make sure the veneers are properly placed and fully functional.
