Porcelain Veneers in Prairie Village
Porcelain veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic problems with the teeth. They are an excellent choice for improving your smile due to their versatility and simplicity.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells placed on the front surfaces of the teeth. These ultra-thin, custom-made shells are made of high-quality porcelain that resembles the sheen and color of natural teeth. The veneers are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, effectively concealing flaws and enhancing your smile’s appearance.
Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill and attention to cosmetic detail. Dr. Gordon routinely designs and places porcelain veneers, considering each patient’s aesthetic goals and oral health.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Improve or Correct?
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution for several dental issues, including:
- Discoloration: Conceal discoloration or stains that resist traditional whitening methods.
- Chipped or Worn Teeth: Restore the natural shape and structure of damaged teeth.
- Gaps and Spaces: Close small gaps and correct minor misalignments for a more uniform smile.
- Uneven Teeth: Create a smooth, symmetrical appearance by covering tooth shape or size irregularities.

What is the Process for Getting Porcelain Veneers?
At your initial consultation, Dr. Gordon will discuss your aesthetic goals and assess your suitability for veneers. We will take X-rays and digital images of your teeth and gums to be used in crafting your veneers.
We make you comfortable at your next appointment by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. Any needed modifications to the shape of the teeth are made, and impressions are taken of the prepared teeth and sent to a dental laboratory. We provide temporary veneer(s) at this appointment to protect the teeth and give you a “preview” of what your veneers will look like while the permanent restoration(s)are being constructed. This usually takes between two to three weeks. When your permanent porcelain veneers are put in place, we polish and refine the edges for a beautiful, natural-looking smile that lasts for years.
Benefits of Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures for many reasons, including:
Versatility
Porcelain veneers can correct several different issues with the appearance of your teeth, including discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and more. With veneers, you can correct these problems with a single procedure rather than treating each issue individually, saving you time and money.
Durability and Low Maintenance
Porcelain veneers are incredibly durable and highly resistant to stains. You can drink wine, tea, and coffee without worrying about your new, whiter smile fading or turning yellow. There is no special maintenance required with porcelain veneers. If you floss, brush twice daily, and have regular dental checkups, your dental veneers will look great for years.
Natural Appearance
Porcelain veneers mimic the translucent look of natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your teeth for a smile that never looks artificial.
Minimally Invasive
Only a very thin layer of enamel must be removed from the front surface of the teeth to prepare them for the veneers. Dr. Gordon takes a conservative approach to the procedure, removing far less enamel than is required for other cosmetic dental treatments. The strength and durability of the teeth are not compromised.
Dental veneers may be the answer if you are not satisfied with the appearance of your smile. To learn more about porcelain veneers and how they can improve your smile, schedule a consultation with Dr. Gordon by calling Mark J. Gordon, DDS Office Phone Number (913) 649-4042.
