Porcelain Veneers
Live healthier with our Porcelain Veneers
At America Dental, we have MORE THAN 18 YEARS of experience providing the highest level of biological and holistic dental care.
Nothing is more comforting than looking in the mirror and feeling happy with the image reflected in it.
Dental veneers are ultra-thin porcelain sheets placed on top of your teeth, offering a radical change in the appearance of your smile.
At America Dental, we understand that a beautiful smile reflects good self-esteem and integral well-being.
That is why dental veneers can solve problems such as slightly misaligned teeth, unwanted interdental spaces, and other aesthetic problems.
Discover the Advantages and our four categories to discover if you are a candidate
Porcelain veneers are a very successful solution for many situations where the original tooth does not have the proper color, shape, texture, or contour. Also, composite resin veneers can improve your projection of your face.
Fixes multiple flaws. Porcelain teeth veneers can improve the shape, size, and alignment of the teeth offers an ideal color for your smile, and close gaps. Other reasons for the use of veneer teeth are tall smiles and short, worn, or fractured teeth.
The ceramic used allows optimal light transmission. The application of composite veneers involves a meticulous process where the dentist skillfully sculpts and bonds the resin directly onto the tooth surface.
Our dental clinic offers the best service with a minimally invasive technique that preserves the dental substance. Dental veneers are much less likely to affect the nerve within the tooth.
Composite veneers are used to correct occlusal deficiencies or to restore correct guidance during masticatory movements. Dental implants can be used to recover worn teeth caused by bruxism as part of complete oral rehabilitation.
Improve our social confidence. A beautiful smile is essential in our daily routine. The application of dental facings is a minimally invasive procedure that can dramatically enhance the appearance of a smile.
Porcelain teeth veneers are one of the best options when a patient does not want orthodontic treatment because they are effective in closing the spaces that exist between the teeth.
Before & After
Porcelain Veneers
Our porcelain teeth veneers are made individually for each client. The maintenance of porcelain veneers is simple.
Treat your porcelain veneers as if they were your natural teeth: brushing and flossing. We suggest using non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste or a specific one for composite resin veneers.

Step by Step of your Dental Veneers
Step 1: Initial Consultation
During this appointment, we will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and explain the difference between porcelain veneers and composite veneers. This is the time to ask about the durability and aesthetic results of porcelain teeth veneers compared to composite resin veneers. If you’re a good candidate, we will outline a treatment plan.
Step 2: Preparation of the Teeth
Once you’ve decided to go with porcelain veneers, we will prepare your veneer teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the surface. This allows the dental facings to fit comfortably on your teeth without adding unnecessary bulk. We will then take impressions or digital scans of your teeth to create custom porcelain teeth veneers.
Step 3: Temporary Veneers
While your dental veneers are being fabricated, which can take a couple of weeks, we may place temporary veneer teeth to protect your prepared teeth and give you an idea of the final result. These temporary dental facings will be removed during your next appointment.
Step 4: Veneer Placement
Once your custom dental veneers are ready, we will check the fit and color to ensure they match your natural teeth. If everything looks perfect, the porcelain teeth veneers will be bonded to your teeth using a special dental adhesive. We may make small adjustments to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.
Step 5: Final Adjustments and Care
After the dental veneers are in place, we will make final adjustments if necessary, and polish them for a smooth finish. We will also provide you with aftercare instructions to maintain your new smile. Proper care of your dental veneers includes good oral hygiene and regular dental visits to keep them looking pristine.
By following these steps, you’ll achieve a bright, long-lasting smile with porcelain veneers or composite veneers, depending on your choice.
