Porcelain Veneers
Achieve Your Goals with Porcelain Veneers
If you aspire to have a “Hollywood” smile, porcelain veneers available at our West Chester, OH dental office can help you achieve your goals. With proper care that includes diligent oral hygiene and dental exams and teeth cleanings every six months, your veneers can last ten years or longer.
Long-Lasting Porcelain Veneers
Dental porcelain is strong and durable and is a beautiful, lifelike material that has mimics the translucent appearance of tooth enamel. Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain that we customize to sit on the front surfaces of your teeth. Since they conceal what’s beneath, our dentist uses veneers to correct aesthetic flaws like:
- Chipped teeth
- Broken teeth
- Uneven gaps between teeth
- Tooth size or shape differences
- Badly stained or discolored teeth
- Slight tooth misalignment
Dr. Koch must remove a thin layer of tooth enamel to place your dental veneers at our West Chester dental office, so the procedure itself is permanent. But your restorations are not, so we will need to replace them every 10 or 15 years.
While they’re quite durable, dental veneers are prone to chipping along the edges if you’re not careful. Don’t bite your nails, chew on ice, or use your teeth to open packages. Avoid very hard or crunchy foods or popcorn that can chip your veneer. During your six-month dental exams, Dr. Koch also checks the health of your veneer teeth and the restorations themselves to make sure they’re in good condition.

Our dental office offers porcelain and composite veneers to give our patients more choices.
Porcelain veneers are made of ceramic and look most like natural teeth. We remove a bit of tooth enamel to ensure these veneers look flush and natural.
