Discover Beautiful, Natural-Looking Veneers

WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS?

Veneers are carefully shaped micro-thin porcelain restorations that are permanently adhered to the front of your teeth. These are strong, smooth, extremely durable, and more resistant to abrasion and stains than your own natural enamel.

Porcelain veneers are used to solve many cosmetic problems such as misaligned, chipped, gapped, and stained teeth.

Closely partnering with AACD accredited ceramist, Edgar Jimenez, Dr. Steve Gorman creates a one-of-a-kind perspective and awareness that allows us to design and create your smile like no other. From your initial visit to shape and color selection, both Dr. Gorman and Mr. Jimenez have a careful eye on the science, function, and art of your smile design.

Have Questions about Porcelain Veneers in Minneapolis?

Consult our FAQs below.
  • What can I expect during the veneers procedure?
    Crafting and placing porcelain veneers is a meticulous process that requires teamwork and an excellent eye for detail. At The Gorman Center for Fine Dentistry, here’s a brief overview of our veneers procedure:

    • Smile Consultation: the first step is to schedule a preliminary consultation with Dr. Gorman. During this visit, you’ll spend one-on-one time with our dentist to determine if this cosmetic procedure is right for you. We’ll discuss your goals, what you like about your smile, what you don’t like about it, and go over your treatment options.
    • Preparation: then, Dr. Gorman will take impressions (or molds) of your teeth, where he will send it to Edgar Jimenez (our in-house dental lab ceramist). Dr. Gorman will place temporary veneers on your teeth, so you can take your new smile on a test drive while Edgar crafts your permanent veneers.
    • Creating Your Veneers: creating your new smile usually takes about two to three weeks to complete. During this time, Edgar and Dr. Gorman will work together to make sure your smile makeover is truly customized to your needs.
    • Placement: once ready, Dr. Gorman will place your new permanent veneers. He will meticulously check the fit and color of your restorations to ensure it’s perfect.
    • Love Your Smile: you walk out of our dental office with a gorgeous smile – meant only for you. Start smiling and show it off!
  • Are Porcelain Veneers permanent?

    In short, yes. Porcelain veneers are considered an irreversible procedure because it does require Dr. Gorman to remove tooth enamel to prepare for the placement of your permanent veneers.
    However, veneers can last for about 10-15 years (even a lifetime!) if you take care of them properly. This means you must:

    • Brush at least twice a day
    • Floss at least once a day
    • Visit Dr. Steve Gorman for your biannual checkups

    To receive proper care instructions for your porcelain veneers in Minneapolis, please contact us. We would be happy to help.

  • Will my dental insurance cover veneers?

  • What do porcelain veneers look like?
    Veneers are micro-thin, porcelain shells that are permanently placed on the front side of your teeth. These shells are tooth-colored and can change your tooth’s shape, size, color, or length. They are strong, smooth, extremely durable, and more resistant to abrasion and stains than your own enamel.
