The Cosmetic Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a simple cosmetic option that can produce miraculous results in terms of perfecting a patient’s smile. Veneer teeth are essentially very thin ‘shells’ that are custom made from a durable ceramic material. The shells are designed to adhere over top of your existing teeth to fix cosmetic imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, deep stains, and teeth that are too small. Porcelain veneers can be completed in a single office visit, meaning that in just a few short hours, you can be enjoying a stunning, handcrafted smile that will turn heads everywhere you go.

The Benefits of Veneers Over Other Cosmetic Options
One of the main aesthetic benefits of dental veneers over other cosmetic options is the brilliant enamel sheen that they produce. Milled from a block of solid ceramic, veneers do not have a metal core like crowns and bridges. This means that, even after years of normal use, they will still emit a radiant sheen that looks just like natural tooth enamel. Veneers are also quick, non-invasive, and are inexpensive compared to other cosmetic restoration options. If you’re unhappy with your smile due to unsightly cracks, chips, stains, gaps, or other imperfections, dental veneers just might be the solution you’re looking for.
How The Process Works
The first step for any patient considering porcelain veneers is to schedule a consultation visit at our Tukwila, WA, office and speak with our acclaimed cosmetic dentist Dr. Lance Tillerman. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Tillerman boasts an unparalleled level of skill and dental artistry, and will discuss at length your personal smile goals.
After taking a detailed 3D digital impression of your teeth – which will be used to handcraft your very own custom veneers – the first step of the process itself is to prepare the surface of the tooth for bonding. This involves scuffing the outer enamel layer so it develops a strong, permanent bond with the resin on the back side of the veneer. After the resin has cured, you will be ready to enjoy your beautiful, radiant new smile! Dental veneers really are that simple!
- Cover cosmetic flaws such as cracks, chips, gaps/spaces, and deep stains
- Corrects crooked teeth, misshaped teeth, and teeth that are too small
- Simple, non-invasive process that is completed in a single office visit
- Inexpensive compared to more involved multi-step treatments
Are You a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

No matter the current state of your oral health, Dr. Lance Timmerman and the expert cosmetic team at South Seattle Smiles will set you on a path to prolonged oral health – and help you craft a stunning new set of teeth that will provide you with a lifetime of perfect, beautiful smiles.
