Porcelain Veneers
What is Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. It can restore teeth that are chipped, cracked, or stained to their original beauty and luster.
Cosmetic and general dentist Dr. Justin Pearson uses porcelain veneers to close small gaps, correct minor alignment issues, and improve overall smile balance. She carefully selects premium materials to create custom veneers that bond seamlessly to the front of each tooth for a refined, natural appearance. Designed to mimic the translucency of real enamel, these veneers reflect light beautifully and blend effortlessly. Along with full smile makeovers, Dr. Justin Pearson also offers Porcelain Veneers in Englewood NJ, for subtle, radiant results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Porcelain veneers may be a good option for patients who have:
- Discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening
- Small gaps between teeth
- Minor chips or worn enamel
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
Healthy gums and sufficient enamel are important before veneers can be placed. A dental evaluation helps determine whether veneers or another treatment is more appropriate.
The Porcelain Veneer Procedure
The process typically begins with a consultation and smile assessment. After discussing goals and expectations, the dentist prepares the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. Impressions are then taken and sent to a dental lab where the veneers are custom made.
Once ready, the veneers are carefully bonded to the teeth using dental cement. The final result is checked for fit, color, and comfort before completion.

What can I expect with porcelain veneers?
At your initial appointment, we will discuss your cosmetic goals and evaluate your oral health to assess if veneers are appropriate. Any untreated cavities, gum disease, or severe misalignments must first be resolved before beginning cosmetic improvements with veneers. Once we fully understand your individual smile needs, we will create a tailored treatment plan that may include digital imaging tools, mock-ups, or trial veneers so you can preview the final result and ensure it fits comfortably over time.
At your next visit, we’ll remove a thin layer of enamel from the fronts of your teeth to make room for veneers. Local anaesthetic is usually not needed for this procedure; we may offer a pain reliever as needed. Once your permanent veneers have been manufactured and placed onto the fronts of your teeth using bonding glue, recovery can sometimes feel tight; this sensation usually resolves within hours.
How durable are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are not only beautiful but also durable. With proper care and good oral hygiene, they can keep your smile looking great and bright for 10-15 years or even longer.
Dr. Justin Pearson crafts these coverings using only the finest dental porcelain materials, which are artistically designed and custom-fitted to your natural teeth, then bonded using the most advanced and clinically proven methods available today for strength, fit, and longevity.
Veneers are very strong and long-lasting, but they can break or chip if used as tools (for opening packages/cutting things), if you don’t break the habit of biting your nails, or if you chew on hard things like ice – normal tooth brushing keeps them looking bright. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also an essential part of maintaining their appearance and function throughout their service life.
If a veneer is damaged, chipped, or otherwise compromised, you can simply have that one replaced; there’s no need to replace the entire set at once.

The dental veneers are truly a custom option, the pricing varies patient to patient. It will depend on the patient and the quality of material you choose for the veneers, as well as how many veneers you need to achieve the smile you want.
