If you’ve tried all kinds of tooth-whitening treatments to no avail, or if your teeth have chips, dents, deep stains, yellowing, graying, or surface imperfections that detract from the appearance of your smile, porcelain veneers may be an ideal solution for you, giving you a perfect-looking smile without undergoing a costly or complicated treatment.
How Porcelain Veneers Compare to Crowns
Porcelain veneers are similar to crowns, in that they cover and protect teeth, but treatment is less expensive and less invasive, because they only cover the outer side of the teeth. Porcelain veneers are an ideal cosmetic solution that won’t break the bank while giving you a dramatic improvement in the look and radiance of your smile.
Dental Restorative Group, in Cambridge and Belmont, provides porcelain veneers for residents of Massachusetts who want to improve their dental appearance without undergoing a more expensive or invasive procedure.
Whiter, brighter teeth
Whiter, Brighter, Stain-Resistant Teeth
Veneers provide Cambridge patients a relatively inexpensive cosmetic improvement that will permanently provide whiter teeth. Dental veneers are also stain-resistant, so they won’t become yellowish or gray over time, ultimately saving you the money that repeated whitening treatments and other, more expensive cosmetic dental work would cost you.
Straighter-looking teeth
Straighter Looking Teeth Without Braces
While orthodontic treatment such as braces or plastic aligners are the optimal solution for straightening teeth, orthodontic treatment is expensive, may be uncomfortable for some Cambridge patients, and may take months or even years to achieve its goal. Porcelain dental veneers offer an alternative to minor orthodontic treatment by covering your teeth to make them appear straighter, as well as more uniform in size and shape. You can have straighter-looking, evenly spaced teeth in only a couple of visits with one of our specialized cosmetic dentists and walk out with a healthy smile much sooner than by undergoing orthodontic treatment. Contact our office today to see if you may be eligible for porcelain dental veneers as an alternative to orthodontic treatment.
Stabilize and solidify teeth
Porcelain dental veneers help to keep teeth in their position and slightly preventing shifting or gaps from forming.
Seal Cracks and Chips
Sealing Cracks and Chips
Many Cambridge patients choose porcelain dental veneers to cover cracks, chips, and other surface imperfections in the teeth, as dental veneers cover and seal cracks and chips, giving you a smoother, straighter, whiter smile with no visible imperfections.
Protect teeth from future damage
Protecting Teeth From Future Damage
Because porcelain dental veneers seal and cover your teeth, this reinforces their strength and solidity, and protects them from future damage caused by food and drink, smoking, trauma, injury, disease, or other factors. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant as well as chip-resistant, providing a stronger and more resilient smile that will last for years to come.
If you’ve wondered how movie stars manage to have such perfect-looking smiles, in many cases, they’re wearing porcelain dental veneers. You too can improve the look and radiance of your smile with porcelain veneers, by contacting Dental Restorative Group at our convenient Cambridge office.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that cover the outer side of your teeth. They are similar to crowns in that they cover and protect the tooth, but treatment is less expensive and less invasive because only the front surface is covered.
What problems can porcelain veneers fix?
Veneers can address chips, dents, cracks, deep stains, yellowing, graying, and other surface imperfections. They can also make teeth look straighter and more uniform in size and shape, and they help protect the teeth they cover from future damage.
Do porcelain veneers stain over time?
Dental veneers are stain-resistant, so they will not become yellowish or gray the way natural enamel can. That resistance may save you the money that repeated whitening treatments and other more expensive cosmetic dental work would otherwise cost.
Can veneers straighten teeth instead of braces?
Veneers do not move teeth, but they can cover them so they appear straighter and more evenly spaced. Braces or aligners remain the optimal solution for actual straightening, while veneers offer a faster cosmetic alternative that usually takes only a couple of visits.
Are porcelain veneers cheaper than crowns?
Veneer treatment is less expensive and less invasive than crown treatment, because veneers only cover the outer side of the teeth rather than the whole tooth. Contact our Cambridge office to find out whether you may be a candidate for them.
Do veneers protect teeth from future damage?
Because porcelain veneers seal and cover your teeth, they reinforce the strength and solidity of the tooth and help shield it from damage caused by food and drink, smoking, trauma, injury, or disease. They are stain-resistant and chip-resistant as well.
