Same-Day Consults
A chip, a stubborn stain, a slight gap: small things become the one detail you notice in every photo. 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 cases differ enough that a template approach doesn’t work, which is why we plan veneer work for South Park patients around the individual case rather than a template. Our office in Hillcrest is a short drive away, and every case is planned around what’s specifically wrong with the tooth. The result should solve the actual problem, using advanced dental care techniques with a shade and shape match precise enough that the veneer reads as a natural tooth – not a generic upgrade layered on top.

Understanding Porcelain Veneers in South Park
A veneer is a custom-made shell, thin enough that it doesn’t feel bulky against the tongue – fixed to the front of the existing tooth and fabricated to match its shade, shape, and translucency, so it reads as a tooth rather than a cap.
It covers more ground than whitening or bonding: staining that won’t lift, chips, gaps, and teeth that are slightly uneven in shape. Only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed to fit the shell, so most of the natural tooth stays intact, and a well-placed veneer commonly holds up for a decade or more.

Smile Design Session
The first visit is a conversation about what you’d like changed, plus a check of your enamel to confirm a veneer is the right call. Photos and measurements taken here become the spec the veneer is built from.
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 actually right are two different skills. Dr. Andy Keith has placed enough veneers to know how shape, shade, and fit interact with an actual face rather than a template. Our approach in Hillcrest reflects that.
A veneer that looks good but doesn’t sit right on the bite isn’t finished work. Both get checked before the patient leaves the chair.

FAQs
Will my porcelain veneers match my other teeth?
Yes, that’s the whole point of a custom shade match: color, translucency, and texture are set to blend with your surrounding teeth rather than stand apart from them.
What happens if my porcelain veneer chips or cracks?
It’s uncommon, but if it happens, we can usually replace just the one affected veneer rather than the whole set, since your original measurements and shade are on file.
Can I still eat my favorite foods with porcelain veneers?
For the most part, yes. The one habit worth dropping 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 is removed, most of the 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, but the gumline around the veneer still needs the same care as any tooth.
