Porcelain veneers
Porcelain can create highly polished changes in shade, shape, symmetry, and surface texture. It usually requires more planning and may involve irreversible enamel preparation.

THE FORMA METHOD
A smile is more
than a shade
of white.
Dr. Dickson brings 15+ years of cosmetic experience to smile design that respects facial balance and function.
Explore The Forma MethodBefore choosing a shade or material, the conversation starts with three questions:
- What should stay yours? Talk about the features you like, as well as what you want to change.
- How will it fit your face? Tooth shape, gum display, facial proportions and shade are considered together.
- How will it work day to day? Bite forces, gum health and maintenance belong in the plan, too.
YOUR CONSULTATION
Clarity before
commitment.
A comprehensive smile consultation can help you understand which option fits your smile goals, enamel, gumline, bite, timing, and budget before you commit.
- 01
Discover
Discuss what you like, what you want to change, and whether your goal is subtle refinement or a larger smile transformation.
- 02
Understand
Review your enamel, gums, bite and existing dental work. Compare whitening, Invisalign, bonding, composite veneers and porcelain veneers.
- 03
Plan
Talk through your priorities, timing, budget and maintenance so you can understand your options before choosing a next step.
What happens during a cosmetic consultation?
The visit reviews goals, photos, tooth shape, shade, gums, bite, old dental work, enamel, TMJ symptoms, and whether whitening, Invisalign, gum-line care, bonding, or veneers best fits the goal.
Are porcelain veneers always better than composite?
No. Porcelain and composite solve different problems. Dr. Dickson compares longevity, repairability, enamel needs, bite forces, and budget before recommending either option.
How do I know whether I need veneers?
Dr. Dickson compares the concern, enamel, bite forces, tooth position, shade goals, and budget before recommending the most conservative path that can meet the goal.
Can Invisalign make veneers more conservative?
Sometimes. Moving teeth first may reduce how much shape correction is needed and can help Dr. Dickson plan a more conservative cosmetic result.
