Porcelain Veneers in Philadelphia, PA
If you’re looking to achieve a beautifully balanced, whiter, and more confident smile, porcelain veneers are one of the most transformative options in cosmetic dentistry. At Smiles At The Square, Dr. Kirti Chopra designs and places custom porcelain veneers that enhance your smile while preserving harmony with your facial features and bite. Each veneer is artistically crafted to address chips, discoloration, misalignment, and unevenness—without sacrificing the natural look and feel of your teeth.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells made of high-quality dental ceramic. They are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve shape, size, symmetry, and color—creating a flawless smile that still feels like you.
Because porcelain closely mimics natural enamel, veneers offer incredible translucency and luster, making them ideal for long-term aesthetic enhancement.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers are a versatile solution for addressing a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Deep or resistant discoloration
- Worn-down or chipped teeth
- Small or misshapen teeth
- Gaps or uneven spacing
- Mild misalignment or rotation
- Uneven gum-to-tooth proportions
- Asymmetry across the smile line
Dr. Chopra may also recommend veneers as part of a Smile Makeover or in combination with Invisalign for comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
Our Veneer Process
At Smiles At The Square, your porcelain veneers will be crafted with a high level of planning and personalization. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation & Smile Analysis
We discuss your smile goals, assess your facial features, and take digital records to understand proportions and shade preferences. - Digital Preview & Mock-Up
We may create a wax-up or digital preview so you can visualize your potential results before committing. - Tooth Preparation
A minimal amount of enamel is gently reshaped to create space for your veneers. Temporary veneers are placed for comfort and aesthetics during fabrication. - Final Veneer Placement
Once your porcelain veneers are ready, they are bonded securely and adjusted for perfect fit, bite, and color match.
Why Choose Porcelain Over Composite Veneers?
While composite (bonding) is more affordable and reversible, porcelain offers superior longevity, stain resistance, and aesthetics. Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or more with proper care and provide a more natural, lifelike appearance.

Caring for Your Veneers
Porcelain veneers are strong and durable, but like natural teeth, they require proper care:
- Brush and floss daily
- Visit us regularly for cleanings and exams
- Avoid using your teeth as tools or biting hard objects
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth at night
With good habits, your veneers can last a decade or more without needing replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and wearing a nightguard (if you clench or grind) can extend their lifespan.
Yes—because a small amount of enamel is removed to place them, porcelain veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic treatment. However, they may need replacement over time due to wear or cosmetic aging.
Porcelain is highly stain-resistant. Unlike natural enamel or composite bonding, veneers won’t darken with coffee, tea, or wine—helping your smile stay bright for years.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. We use local anesthesia during preparation, and temporary veneers help keep your smile comfortable while your final set is being crafted.
Absolutely. Veneers can be used to enhance a single tooth or placed across multiple teeth for a full smile transformation. Dr. Chopra will guide you on what works best for your goals.
