What Are Porcelain Veneers Used For?
Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment that can truly transform your smile. They don’t require a lot of preparation, so we can usually place them in just two office visits. Veneers are very versatile and can be used on one or more teeth to correct a number of cosmetic flaws.
We create veneers to your exact specifications, and they are used to alter the shape and appearance of your teeth to beautify your smile. Porcelain is the perfect choice for veneers because it is strong and durable.
Since porcelain has a translucent appearance, it also closely resembles dental enamel and blends perfectly with your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers produce beautiful results and have a variety of uses:
- Repairing chipped or worn teeth
- Concealing severely stained teeth
- Improving the shape of your teeth
- Closing gaps and uneven spaces between teeth
- Masking the appearance of misaligned teeth
How Are Porcelain Veneers Applied?
Veneers are ultra-thin wafers of porcelain that are shaped to fit over your tooth to create the desired effect. The first step is to prepare your teeth to allow the veneers to fit perfectly and look completely natural.
Dr. Uhl will talk to you about the results you’re looking for and will work with you to select a shape and shade that matches your teeth and complements your facial features. Your veneers are then custom-crafted to our exact specifications at a special dental lab.
Once they are finished, you will return to our Indianapolis office to have the veneers bonded permanently to the surface of your tooth. Finally, we shape and polish your veneers so that they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. In fact, they look so much like your own teeth that no one will notice that you’ve had any work done — they will just see a beautiful, healthy smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients who have healthy teeth and gums but who want to cover up cosmetic issues are good candidates for veneers. Start by making an appointment for a consultation about veneers at our Indianapolis dental office German Church Road Family Dentistry. Dr. Dane Uhl will go over your medical and dental history and conduct an examination to determine if veneers are the cosmetic dentistry option to improve your smile.
Veneers are ultra-thin, translucent covers that go over the fronts of the teeth that show when you smile. You can get one veneer if you need to cover up one damaged tooth, or you can get a full set to change your entire smile. In general, veneers can be used for:
- Covering up teeth that are crooked or misaligned
- Lengthening the look of teeth that are too short
- Camouflaging teeth that are gapped, cracked, or otherwise aesthetically unappealing
Veneers can change the look of your smile in just a couple of visits to the dentist, so it is a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. Many of your favorite Hollywood celebrities, whose perfect smiles you admire, are likely the recipients of veneers. We were not all born with a perfect smile, but most of us can have one through the artistry and science of cosmetic dentistry!
