What Is the Treatment Process for Porcelain Veneers?
When you've decided on your personalized treatment plan with our dental care team, we will take physical or digital dental impressions. Your porcelain veneers could be produced in our office while you wait, or the impressions could be sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers will be made from high-quality porcelain. Using the precise technology of iTero, we are able to capture measurements of the teeth to create perfectly fitting crowns, bridges, and veneers. This results in restorations that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound. When your veneers are prepared, our dental practitioner, Dr. Chris Nelis or Dr. Nick Racine, will carefully take off a small amount of enamel from your teeth. This allows room for the porcelain veneers and enhances the bond for a more natural outcome that lasts longer. When your veneers are bonded, our dentist may make minor adjustments so that your veneers are comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to clean my porcelain veneers?
Just like your natural teeth, porcelain veneers should be brushed daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste. You can also use mouthwash, floss, or a water pick to ensure your veneers and gums are thoroughly cleaned. However, be careful not to overbrush or use any harsh products, like whitening treatments, without first checking with the team at Christopher Nelis, DDS in Holland, MI.
Do porcelain veneers damage your teeth?
When placed by an experienced dental team, such as the one at Christopher Nelis, DDS in Holland, MI, porcelain veneers should not damage your teeth. Problems arise when veneers are applied improperly, which could result in the dentist removing too much enamel. This can leave teeth more vulnerable to breaking or other types of damage.
How long can porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last between 10 – 15 years if they are well cared for. Maintaining a good oral hygiene routine, including daily brushing and flossing, is essential to prolong their lifespan. Additionally, it's important to avoid foods that are especially hard, sticky, or chewy to protect your veneers from damage.
