Porcelain veneers offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile. These thin, custom-made shells are bonded to the front of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment. Great Northwest Dental in Auburn, WA provides high-quality porcelain veneers to create a balanced, radiant smile with results that look and feel natural.
Watching our patients see their brilliant new smile for the first time is the highlight of our day. Sometimes referred to as instant orthodontics, veneers can dramatically transform your smile. A set of veneers can correct chips, stains, and even deeply discolored teeth. But they can also alter the length and size of teeth or help give the appearance of a straight tooth where there is not. While it may sound dramatic, it isn’t. Veneers provide a highly conservative approach to esthetic smile makeovers.
Where Art Meets Science
Veneers are the ultimate combination of dental art and science, handcrafted and customized to fit your smile. These paper-thin pieces of porcelain bond to the outside of your natural teeth. But just because they’re thin, don’t be fooled. Veneers are highly versatile and can replicate all the complex nuances of a natural tooth.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are durable, stain-resistant shells made from high-quality ceramic material. Each veneer is custom-designed to match the shape, color, and size of surrounding teeth, creating a seamless and attractive smile. Veneers are an excellent option for patients who want to correct multiple cosmetic concerns with one treatment.

The Porcelain Veneers Process
Good Planning Paves the Way
There’s a lot of diagnostic work and careful planning that goes into a treatment plan that includes veneers. Models, photographs, and digital x-rays allow you and the doctor to create a perfect blueprint to guide your treatment from start to finish. Like all successful projects, this planning can’t be compromised. Our doctors will consider your input and incorporate your desires into your veneer case, from color to shape and everything in between.
- Consultation & Smile Assessment – The dentist evaluates the teeth and discusses smile goals.
- Tooth Preparation – A small amount of enamel is removed to allow for proper veneer placement.
- Custom Veneer Design – Impressions are taken to create veneers that match natural teeth.
- Bonding & Final Adjustments – Once ready, the veneers are securely bonded, polished, and adjusted for comfort.
Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?
Porcelain veneers may be an ideal solution for individuals looking to improve their smile without extensive dental work. They provide a minimally invasive option for patients who want to correct cosmetic concerns and achieve a long-lasting, confident smile.
