What Are Porcelain Veneers?
A porcelain veneer, also called a dental veneer, is an ultra-thin shell that a dentist can attach to the surface of a tooth in order to obscure cosmetic concerns like chips, cracks, or stains. Each shell is made from porcelain or similar materials that flawlessly resemble the appearance of a tooth. Because of their natural-looking results and the relative simplicity of the placement procedure, porcelain veneers have become one of the most popular treatment options in cosmetic dentistry.

View On GoogleIdeal Dental Veneer Candidates Are in Good Oral Health
In general, the most important requirement affecting your ability to receive dental veneers is robust oral health. If you have major oral health issues, such as severe tooth decay or gum disease, other treatments will be necessary before you qualify for cosmetic dentistry. We can address virtually all of these concerns in our office. Other factors that affect candidacy for porcelain veneers include:
Sufficient Enamel
Before your dentist can place your porcelain veneers, they have to remove a certain amount of enamel from your tooth. If you have very worn or thin enamel, you may not qualify for this form of dentistry.
Free of Teeth Grinding
Clenching or grinding your teeth can damage restorations like veneers. An oral appliance or another treatment for these issues may allow you to still undergo treatment.
Minor Misalignment
While porcelain veneers can address gaps or other minor misalignments, severely crooked teeth may still require orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign.
Good Oral Hygiene
Consistent oral hygiene and regular checkups at our office in Nashville, TN, are essential for maintaining the integrity of the dental veneers and the health of your underlying teeth.
Ready for a Permanent Investment
Veneer dentistry is irreversible. If you are concerned about making permanent changes to your smile, you may consider an alternative treatment, such as dental bonding. You can discuss your options with our team in a consultation.
Your Smile Can Be Transformed Stunning Results From a Porcelain Veneers Patient

Versatile Smile Enhancement
Our team can custom-craft your porcelain veneers to conceal a wide range of common cosmetic imperfections, such as chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment, and stubborn discoloration — all in one treatment.

We Use Advanced Materials to Provide Stunning Results
At Gulch Dental Studio in Nashville, TN, our dentists offer veneers crafted from IPS e.max® and IPS Empress®. These two materials offer incredible strength and natural-looking results.
Both e.max and Empress mimic the qualities of natural tooth enamel to ensure your veneers blend with surrounding teeth. These materials are also exceptionally strong and can last many years with proper care.
Dental Veneers vs. Dental Bonding
While many cosmetic treatments exist, only veneers achieve truly comprehensive results.
Depending on the issues you want to address, our dentists at Gulch Dental Studio in Nashville, TN, can discuss potential alternatives to porcelain veneers. Dental bonding, for example, is used to treat many of the same conditions as veneers for a lower price.
However, while bonding is a good alternative for treating an imperfect tooth, the resin bonding material cannot provide the same level of strength and durability that porcelain can.
In addition, the results of veneer treatment typically look more natural than dental bonding.
Dental Veneers vs. Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is another more affordable alternative to veneers. Both in-office whitening and take-home whitening kits can be effective at treating stained teeth, but these bleaching options have their limitations.
Teeth whitening can only whiten stains that originate on the surface of the teeth. Deeper layers of discolored tooth structure cannot be whitened. Veneers, by contrast, can conceal deep-set stains that appear on the front surface of a tooth.
Additionally, teeth can still become stained after whitening treatment. Porcelain veneers are made of stain-resistant materials, which means longer-lasting cosmetic dentistry benefits.

Life After Porcelain Veneers Treatment

With proper care, your new smile can last for over a decade.
Caring for Porcelain Veneers Is Simple MAINTAIN THE BEAUTY OF YOUR ENHANCED SMILE
Though Gulch Dental Studio uses durable, high-quality materials, veneers will still need to be replaced at some point. Excellent oral hygiene and continued care of your teeth and gums can extend the lifespan of your veneers.
Brush and Floss Regularly
You should continue good oral hygiene habits like brushing twice daily and flossing at least once daily. Maintaining the health of your teeth and gums is one of the best ways to ensure the longevity of your porcelain veneers.
Attend Routine Dental Visits
Coming to Gulch Dental Studio twice a year for routine cleanings will help maintain the health of your teeth and gums and extend the lifespan of your veneers and any other new restorations.
Avoid Biting Hard Surfaces
While the porcelain material we use is highly durable, it is not indestructible. You should avoid chewing on ice, biting your nails, nibbling on pens or drinking straws, and opening packaging with your teeth. These actions can chip or damage your dental veneers.
Avoid Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding can chip, crack, or wear down your porcelain veneers. If you grind your teeth during the night, our doctors can recommend an oral appliance that helps you avoid putting excessive pressure on your veneers.

Porcelain Veneer FAQ
Are dental veneers covered by insurance?
No. As a cosmetic dentistry procedure, dental veneers are considered an elective treatment rather than medically necessary. Thankfully, our financing options can keep veneer costs affordable by breaking the total price of the procedure into installments.Will dental veneers ruin my teeth?
No. Just a small amount of tooth enamel is removed while prepping a tooth for a dental veneer. Typically, just a half millimeter of enamel is removed, and sometimes less. Losing a fraction of a millimeter of enamel will not have a significant impact on the structural integrity of a tooth or your oral health.Can I smoke after getting dental veneers?
Technically you can smoke or use chewing tobacco after getting dental veneers, but it's a bad idea. The veneers will not become stained, but tobacco products will discolor your natural teeth and increase your risk of gum disease. We often tell patients that getting dental veneers is a convenient excuse to kick their smoking or chewing tobacco habit for good.What should I do if a veneer gets chipped or comes loose?
If a dental veneer is fractured or somehow gets dislodged, it's important that you contact our Nashville practice as soon as possible. Bring the debonded veneer or broken fragment with you if possible. The team at Gulch Dental Studio can assess the issue and determine the most effective treatment for this dental veneer problem.We Change Lives One Smile at a Time "Every time I go in I'm greeted with a smile and lots of kindness."

...Every time I go in I'm greeted with a smile and lots of kindness. All the staff is very friendly and personable. I had some work done to a tooth that was chipped and Dr. Harris did a phenomenal job with the repair. I also had to have a follow up appoint because I grind my teeth and messed it up. The staff got me right and Dr. Harris touched it up and I was good as new with in 10 minutes. This is by far the best dentist in Nashville, in my opinion.
