Enhance Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers in Atlanta
During your appointment, Dr. Ballard will carefully evaluate your needs to determine if veneers are the best solution. Dental Veneers in Atlanta are often recommended for more serious cases involving chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, or noticeable discoloration and wear.
Veneers offer several advantages compared to other cosmetic dentistry options. In addition to their cosmetic appeal, they also strengthen and protect the surface of damaged teeth, helping to improve both appearance and function.
If you are thinking about getting veneers to enhance your smile, here are some of the most common questions patients ask about the procedure. These insights can help you make an informed decision and feel more confident about the process.

What exactly are veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are carefully applied to the front of your teeth and bonded in place by our cosmetic dentist to improve their appearance. Even though veneers are very slim and do not make your teeth feel bulky, they are impressively durable and designed to last.
The Veneer Placement Process
During your first visit, our Atlanta dentist, Dr. Ballard, will begin by preparing the tooth so he can take an impression for the veneer. This step requires trimming a small amount of enamel from the front of the tooth. The portion removed is very minimal and typically matches the thickness of the veneer itself.
Next, Dr. Ballard will take an impression of the tooth to create your custom veneer. The impression is then sent to a dental lab, and in the meantime you will be provided with temporary veneers. It generally takes the lab about 7 to 10 days to complete your veneers and return them to us. Once they arrive, Dr. Ballard will place them to check the fit. If everything looks and feels right, he will secure them permanently using a bonding agent.
How Long Veneers Last
The lifespan of dental veneers can vary, but on average, the veneers provided by our Atlanta cosmetic professional last between five and fifteen years. This time frame is only a general estimate, as some patients enjoy veneers that last much longer, while others may need replacements after just a few years.
