Porcelain veneers in Cheney, Washington
Refinement that still looks like you.
Custom porcelain veneers planned around your face, existing tooth structure, bite, color goals, and the details that make a smile feel natural.
The Collins point of view
Veneers are not a one-size cosmetic shortcut. The best result begins by deciding what should change, what should stay, and whether whitening, bonding, orthodontics, a crown, or no treatment may be the more conservative choice.
What care can include
The treatment should fit the person.
Your examination determines which options make sense and which ones do not.
Shape and proportion
Veneers may refine teeth that look short, worn, uneven, chipped, or disproportionate to the surrounding smile.
Color and translucency
Porcelain can be layered and shaded to work with neighboring teeth rather than producing a flat, uniform appearance.
Spacing and symmetry
Selected spaces, rotations, or asymmetries may be improved when the bite and tooth position make veneers appropriate.
Coordinated planning
Whitening, gum position, orthodontics, and existing restorations may be considered before final shade and shape decisions.

How the plan comes together
Clear steps. No mystery.
You should understand what comes next, why it matters, and where you still have choices.
- 01
Define the goal
Dr. Collins listens to what you notice and identifies which details are realistic to change.
- 02
Evaluate health and bite
Teeth, enamel, gums, existing dental work, grinding, and bite forces are examined.
- 03
Preview the direction
Photography, digital records, models, or a provisional preview may be used to refine proportion and shape.
- 04
Place and maintain
After bonding, the bite is checked and a maintenance plan protects the porcelain and supporting teeth.
Common questions
Useful answers before your examination.
These answers are general. Your diagnosis, health history, and goals shape the recommendation.
Do veneers require removing tooth structure?
Many veneer preparations involve some enamel reduction, though the amount varies. The existing tooth position, color, restorations, and desired change determine how conservative the preparation can be.
Are veneers reversible?
When tooth structure is prepared, veneers should be considered an ongoing restorative commitment rather than a reversible trial.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Longevity varies with bite forces, grinding, oral hygiene, material, preparation, and maintenance. Veneers can eventually chip, debond, wear, or require replacement.
Can veneers replace orthodontic treatment?
Veneers can change the visible shape of selected teeth, but they do not move roots or correct every bite issue. Orthodontics may be the healthier or more conservative first step.
