Veneers
Do you have cosmetic dental concerns that detract from the appearance of your smile?
Veneers are a versatile solution that can conceal these imperfections and create a whiter, brighter, more uniform smile.
Premier Prosthodontics: Advanced Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry in Raleigh, NC, can fine-tune your smile using veneers made from durable and lifelike dental-grade porcelain.
Why Receive Treatment With a Prosthodontist Instead of a General Dentist?

While a general dentist may offer veneers, Dr. Murphy is a dentist and prosthodontist who is better equipped to provide results that are both stunning and lifelike. A prosthodontist is a type of dentist who specializes in addressing complex dental matters like broken and missing teeth. For this reason, they often have advanced training in aesthetic restoration and routinely work with ceramics to create crowns, bridges, and veneers.
We have an in-house lab, allowing us to hold every step of the veneers process to impeccable standards. Dr. Murphy combines this unique asset with his skill, precision, and artistic eye for beautiful results that last.

The Porcelain Veneer Process What to Expect
"We don't treat our patients as numbers. Instead, we believe that compassionate care is crucial. We take our time during appointments and will never rush you."
Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers
Maintain Oral Hygiene
Follow an oral hygiene routine that involves brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day. This will help keep your teeth as white as your veneers and your mouth healthy enough to support your dental work.
Be Mindful When Eating
Hard, chewy, and tough foods can damage and dislodge your veneers. We recommend biting into and chewing these foods with teeth that haven’t been treated with dental veneers. Additionally, foods like tea, sauces, and berries can stain your natural teeth and make your smile less uniform. Try to minimize your intake of these foods.
Attend Routine Checkups
Routine dental checkups will help ensure that your veneers last as long as possible. A hygienist will be able to clean your mouth more thoroughly than you can at home and a dentist can catch foundational problems before they become serious. Your dentist will also let you know when it’s time to replace your veneers.

Not a Candidate for Veneers?
Consider Other Cosmetic
Dentistry Procedures
Dental Bonding
If you want a more conservative alternative to veneers that is also more economical, dental bonding may be a good solution for you. During this procedure, Dr. Murphy uses a composite resin to reshape imperfect teeth and conceal flaws. While dental bonding is not nearly as long-lasting as veneers, it offers comparable results. Bonding is also a good way to try out veneers before you commit to them.
Teeth Whitening
If you have dental stains, you may not require porcelain veneers to address them. Dental stains can often be lifted with teeth whitening. Our team offers take-home teeth whitening kits with bleaching trays and custom solutions so you can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades from the comfort of your home. If you have deep dental stains that don't respond to whitening, veneers can conceal them.
