How long do porcelain veneers last?

With proper home care and a bite guard, porcelain veneers typically last 15–20 years. Good maintenance helps maximize longevity.

How does caring for porcelain veneers differ from my normal routine?

Care is similar to natural teeth: brush, floss, and maintain routine cleanings. Veneers resist staining and are polished with specialized agents during hygiene visits.

Most patients report minimal to no sensitivity when preparation stays within enamel. ADS prioritizes conservative techniques to preserve comfort and natural tooth structure.

Can I whiten my veneers?

Porcelain does not whiten, but it can be polished. Perceived darkening often relates to the tooth behind the veneer or the veneer–tooth interface.

Are veneers expensive?

Insurance typically does not cover cosmetic veneers. At ADS, high-quality veneers start at approximately $1,750 per tooth, depending on case complexity and materials.

Do porcelain veneers damage your natural teeth?

When done correctly, getting veneers should not ruin or harm your underlying teeth. Our dentists remove only a minimal amount of enamel (often just within the enamel layer) for traditional veneers, preserving the tooth structure. In fact, modern veneer techniques at Atlanta Dental Spa are very conservative, often as thin as a contact lens, meaning little to no tooth reduction is needed, so your natural teeth remain strong and healthy behind the veneer.

How does Atlanta Dental Spa ensure a natural look with porcelain veneers?

Because we’ve been the leaders in cosmetic dentistry in Atlanta for 20 years. We know how to make beautiful teeth. But making beautiful teeth is only part of it. To have a beautiful smile, it has to be in harmony with the rest of the facial features. For example, face size, face shape, proportions, bone structure and even the whites of your eyes are all factored into the smile design.

How do I know if I am a candidate for porcelain veneers?

A thorough evaluation with one of our cosmetic specialists is the easiest way to know if you are a candidate for porcelain veneers. The ideal candidate should have no active tooth decay, gum disease or any other serious oral health issues.

What should I expect during the consultation for porcelain veneers?

When you come in for a porcelain veneer consultation, we'll start by taking some digital images of your teeth and smile. This is your chance to tell us about your goals. These could be closing spaces, straightening, or whitening. We'll show you examples of our work and discuss what kind of smile would best suit your face. Our team will then create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Are there any alternatives to porcelain veneers?

Alternatives to porcelain veneers include dental bonding, whitening, and orthodontic treatments like Invisalign.

Sedation Dentistry Brookhaven

What Sedation Dentistry Really Means

Sedation dentistry is a safe and trusted solution designed to ease dental anxiety and help patients feel more comfortable during treatment. Many people feel nervous about the sights, sounds, or sensations at the dentist, but with sedation, you can set those worries aside and simply relax while our caring team takes care of your smile. You’ll remain awake, aware, and able to respond to instructions, but the tension, fear, and nervousness that often come with dental visits are greatly reduced. This approach makes dental care more manageable, less stressful, and in many cases, even pleasant. Whether you need a routine procedure or a more complex treatment, sedation dentistry allows you to get the care you need while feeling calm, supported, and at ease.

^{Why Brookhaven Patients Choose Sedation Dentistry}

Many patients put off or completely avoid dental visits because of fear, discomfort, or past negative experiences. Sedation dentistry changes that by creating a calm and stress-free environment where treatment feels easier to manage. It is especially helpful for those who struggle with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or a low pain threshold. With sedation, even lengthy or complex procedures can feel shorter, smoother, and far more comfortable.

^{Experience Greater Comfort with Sedation at at Atlanta Dental Spa}

1. A calm, stress-free experience
2. Less sensitivity and discomfort during treatment
3. Easier time sitting through longer appointments
4. Confidence knowing your care is handled with safety first

When your dental visit is free from anxiety, keeping up with your oral health becomes simple and your smile gets the attention it deserves.
