This cosmetic dentistry service allows you to conceal all the flaws that make you self-conscious about your smile without any invasive procedures!
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells made from high-quality ceramic material that mimics the qualities of natural teeth. They are designed to be fitted to the front of your teeth, offering a flawless finish that can disguise cracks, chips, stains and even misalignment. Known for their strength, durability, and natural look, porcelain veneers stand out as the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry. They have become increasingly trendy and popular amongst adult patients and are a common request here at iSmile Dental Care! We love being able to transform our patient’s smiles in one appointment – imagine coming in on the day of your fitting and being able to walk out a few hours later with a smile you can’t help but show off!
What Can Veneers Do For You?
Choosing porcelain veneers is a tried-and-tested approach to enhancing your smile that we know you won’t end up regretting! Here’s why our patients love their veneers:
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Porcelain veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, giving you a flawless but totally natural-looking smile. We don’t do those crazy luminously white veneers you see on TikTok – our goal is to enhance your smile with a beautiful but natural-looking set of teeth. Because nobody’s natural teeth are ever as bright as white-out!
- Stain Resistance: Unlike natural teeth, high-quality porcelain resists staining from coffee, wine, and cigarettes, giving you the freedom to continue enjoying your “vices”.
- Durability: They are built to last, often lasting 10-15 years or more, with proper care.
- Versatility: From chips and gaps to stains and misalignment, veneers address multiple dental concerns at once, preventing the need for multiple procedures like Invisalign, crowns or implants.
The Journey to Your Perfect Smile
If you’re considering getting porcelain veneers, you’re probably wondering what the process is going to look like. While we take an individualised approach to each patient’s treatment, this is a general outline of what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation: The journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation where Dr. Ragnell discusses your aesthetic goals, evaluates your oral health, and charts out the tailored veneer process.
- Tooth Preparation: A minimal amount of tooth enamel is removed to make space for the veneer, ensuring a natural fit and appearance. Many patients confuse the pre work needed with how we prepare for a dental crown, which involves removing most of the natural tooth. You can be rest-assured you will not have “shark teeth” underneath your veneers, your natural teeth stay very much intact!
- Impressions: State-of-the-art digital impressions are taken to design veneers that fit seamlessly onto your teeth. We will adjust the length of your veneers depending on whether your natural teeth are too short or whatever else your aesthetic goals might be.
- Final Placement: After the custom creation of your veneers, Dr. Ragnell carefully bonds them to the front of your teeth, ensuring perfect alignment, fit, and aesthetics.

FAQsÂ
Q: How do porcelain veneers differ from composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are made from high-quality ceramic and are more stain-resistant and long-lasting than composite veneers, which are made from a resin material. Composite veneers, also called dental bonding, is generally used by our cosmetic dentist in Plano to disguise minor imperfections like small cracks or stains. The resin material is matched to your tooth color and shaped on the tooth surface, then cured with an LED lamp.
Q: Will my teeth look natural?
Absolutely! Dr. Ragnell’s expertise ensures that each veneer complements your facial aesthetics, matches your natural tooth color, and looks completely organic. At our dental office, we are about enhancing your aesthetics as opposed to creating inauthentic results.
Q: Is the procedure reversible?
No. The procedure is permanent since a layer of your natural tooth is removed to accommodate the veneer. If the veneers were to be stripped off, the tooth would be susceptible to cracking and sensitivity. Cosmetic dentistry is always advancing with Lumineers and 3D printed veneers becoming available, which require little to no prep at all. You can discuss any concerns you may be having with Dr. Ragnell at your initial consultation.
Q: How do I care for my veneers?
Treat them as you would your natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. While they are durable, avoiding habits like nail-biting, opening packages with your teeth, or chewing ice or hard candies is advised.
Q: What is the cost?
The investment in porcelain veneers varies based on individual needs and the number of veneers desired. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ragnell for a detailed estimate tailored to you.
