Are you looking for a way to achieve a flawless, radiant smile? Porcelain dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry solution that can enhance your teeth’s appearance and boost your confidence.
At our Alpharetta dental office, we specialize in creating custom veneers that provide natural-looking, long-lasting results.
What are porcelain veneers?
A porcelain veneer is a custom-designed ultra-thin shell that covers the front surface of a tooth. A veneer is created out of thin layers of porcelain. The veneer is bonded to the front of the tooth to transform the tooth’s appearance.
They’re like a magical makeover for your smile – correcting imperfections, enhancing color, and creating a picture-perfect appearance.
Veneers are custom-created to fix a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misaligned or uneven teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Irregular tooth shapes
- Gummy smile
Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and lifelike appearance, making them a popular choice for achieving a picture-perfect smile.

Benefits of porcelain veneers – why choose porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are an excellent cosmetic dentistry treatment option for patients who want a brand new smile. Getting porcelain veneers can help patients feel more confident about their appearances, as they can hide flaws such as chips, cracks, gaps, teeth that are too small, teeth that are misshapen, or broken teeth.

Discover the Benefits of the CEREC® System for Efficient, High-Quality Dental Care
The CEREC® system, short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a cutting-edge dental technology that allows dentists to design, create, and place high-quality dental restorations in a single visit. At Advanced Cosmetics and Family Dentistry, we use this innovative system to provide our patients with efficient, comfortable, and precise dental care. Here are the top 5 benefits of incorporating the CEREC® system into our practice:
Top 5 Benefits of using the CEREC System:
One of the standout features of the CEREC system is its ability to complete restorative dental work in just one visit. Traditionally, crowns, veneers, or inlays require multiple appointments and temporary restorations while waiting for a dental lab to create the final product. With CEREC, we design, craft, and bond the restoration all in the same visit. This saves patients time and eliminates the hassle of multiple trips to the dentist.
The CEREC system utilizes advanced 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology to create restorations with exceptional accuracy. Digital impressions replace the need for messy, uncomfortable molds, ensuring a more pleasant experience for patients. This precise digital process results in restorations that fit more securely and feel more natural, enhancing both comfort and functionality.
CEREC restorations are crafted from strong ceramic materials that closely resemble the look and feel of natural teeth. These materials are biocompatible, long-lasting, and resistant to staining, ensuring that your dental work not only looks great but also stands the test of time. Patients can enjoy peace of mind knowing their smiles are restored with top-tier materials.
The CEREC system allows us to customize the color and appearance of restorations to match your natural teeth seamlessly. The ceramic material mimics the translucency and texture of real teeth, providing a beautiful and natural-looking result. This attention to detail ensures that your smile enhancement blends perfectly with your overall appearance.
Traditional restorative procedures often require patients to wear temporary crowns or fillings while waiting for the permanent solution. These temporary restorations can sometimes break or become dislodged, leading to discomfort or additional visits. With CEREC, there’s no need for temporary solutions, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring a smoother, more efficient experience.
How are veneers placed?
Our comprehensive approach includes:
- Detailed smile consultation
- Digital smile design
- Minimal tooth preparation: The teeth need to be prepared for the veneers, meaning some tooth structure will need to be gently removed and impressions will be taken. This prevents the veneers from appearing too bulky. Patients can use a local anesthetic and/or sedation during the tooth preparation, but should be aware that many patients experience little to no pain during this process.
- Precise veneer fabrication
- Precise artistic placement
- Final adjustments and polishing
