Porcelain Veneers in Elmhurst, IL

Veneers are thin, custom-shaped shells of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. Done well, they look like the smile you were supposed to have. Done poorly, they look like veneers. We do them well.

The craft

Porcelain, shaped by hand. Designed for your face.

A veneer is less than a millimeter of porcelain, which means the artistry is everything. These are the four things Dr. Bianco and our ceramist obsess over on every single case.

Shape
Every tooth is drawn around your lip line, face shape, and the way you actually smile, not a stock template.
Translucency
Layered porcelain catches light the way enamel does. No flat, chalky, one-tone slabs.
Texture
Subtle surface character and incisal detail are what separate real-looking veneers from obvious ones.
Fit
Digital scans and a master ceramist mean margins you can't feel with your tongue.

Veneers are a great fit if

  • Your teeth are chipped, worn, or uneven
  • Whitening hasn't touched deep staining
  • You have small gaps or slightly rotated front teeth
  • You want a lasting change, not a temporary fix

We'll tell you if something else is smarter

  • Significant crowding, a short Candid Pro aligner phase first protects enamel
  • Active decay or gum disease, health comes before cosmetics
  • Heavy grinding, we plan a nightguard into the case
  • One discolored tooth, bonding or whitening may be enough
