Same-Day Consults
A chipped edge, a stubborn stain, a slight gap, small things can become the one detail you notice every time you see a photo of yourself. Porcelain veneers exist to fix exactly that – they’re a gateway to rediscovering your authentic smile. At Sunrise Dental Arts, Dr. Andy Keith understands that each tooth tells a story, which is why our porcelain veneers for Bankers Hill patients are planned around what’s actually wrong with the tooth, not a one-size veneer shape. The goal is a veneer built using advanced dental care techniques that solves the specific problem you came in with, not just a generic upgrade.

Understanding Porcelain Veneers in Bankers Hill
A veneer is a thin custom shell fixed to the front of the tooth – fabricated in a dental lab to match your existing tooth shade, shape, and translucency, so the result reads as a tooth rather than a cap.
It handles a wider range of issues than whitening or bonding alone: chips, gaps, staining that whitening won’t fix, and teeth that are slightly uneven in shape. Because the shell is thin, only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed to make room for it, and a well-placed veneer typically holds up for a decade or more.

Smile Design Session
The first visit is a conversation about what you’d like changed, plus an exam of your enamel to confirm a veneer is the right call. Photos and measurements taken here become the spec your veneer is built to.
Detailed Treatment Mapping
Using advanced imaging technology, we create a comprehensive treatment plan specific to your needs. This planning phase includes precise shade matching, determining the ideal shape of your dental veneer, and reviewing your options in care. We explain each step clearly so you understand exactly how we’ll achieve your desired results.
Expert Preparation & Fitting
We carefully prepare your natural teeth and take detailed impressions for your permanent veneers. Temporary veneers protect your tooth structure while expert ceramists craft your custom set. Each veneer receives meticulous attention to ensure perfect fit and natural appearance.
Professional Placement
The placement appointment transforms your smile as we bond each porcelain veneer permanently in place. We verify the fit, comfort, and appearance of every veneer before finalizing them. Your input during this stage helps us make any minor adjustments needed for optimal results.
Smile Optimization
A week after placement, we schedule a quick check to ensure your porcelain veneers feel comfortable and function perfectly. We answer questions about caring for your new smile and provide specific tips for maintaining your excellent results long-term.
Why Choose Us
Fitting a veneer and getting the design right are two different things. Dr. Andy Keith has placed enough veneers to know how shape, shade, and fit interact with someone’s actual face, not just a diagram. Our approach for Bankers Hill patients, working out of Hillcrest reflects that.
A veneer that looks right but doesn’t sit right on your bite isn’t a finished job. Both get checked before you leave the chair.

FAQs
Will my porcelain veneers match my other teeth?
That’s the point of a custom shade match: color, translucency, and texture are all set to blend with your existing teeth rather than stand out from them.
What happens if my porcelain veneer chips or cracks?
It’s uncommon, but if it happens, we can usually replace just the affected veneer rather than the whole set, since we keep your original measurements and shade on file.
Can I still eat my favorite foods with porcelain veneers?
Yes, for the most part. The main habit to drop is using your teeth as tools, biting ice, opening packaging, since that’s what tends to chip any restoration, veneer or natural tooth alike.
How do you prepare my teeth for porcelain veneers?
We remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of the tooth – roughly the thickness of a contact lens – so the veneer sits flush rather than bulky. Because so little enamel is removed, most of your natural tooth structure stays intact, and it’s done under local anesthetic.
Do porcelain veneers require special maintenance?
Not really, normal brushing, flossing, and checkups are enough. Porcelain resists stains better than enamel does, but the gumline around the veneer still needs the same care as any tooth.
