Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct color, shape, and minor alignment concerns. Yi-Tsu Cheng, D.D.S. & Associates provides dental veneers in Chamblee, GA, with results designed to look completely natural.
Veneers are one of the most effective ways to transform a smile. Each veneer is individually designed and shaded, then bonded to the front surface of the tooth. Because porcelain reflects light the way natural enamel does, well-made veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Veneers can address several concerns at once: deep staining that whitening cannot fix, chips, uneven edges, small gaps, and slightly rotated teeth. Many patients in the Chamblee and Atlanta area choose veneers as a comprehensive solution rather than combining multiple separate treatments.
Our team takes time during your design consultation to discuss how many veneers you need, what shade works best, and whether porcelain or composite material is the better fit for your goals and budget.

Who is a good candidate?
Veneers suit patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve the appearance of their front teeth. Patients who grind their teeth may need a night guard to protect their investment.
Frequently asked questions
Veneer costs vary based on the material (porcelain or composite) and the number of teeth treated. We provide a clear estimate during your consultation and offer CareCredit financing to help manage the investment.
Severe tooth decay, active gum disease, or a habit of heavy grinding without a night guard may need to be addressed before veneers. A consultation helps us determine if veneers are right for you or if another option is a better fit.
This refers to common veneer placement ranges: 4 veneers cover the most visible front teeth, 8 cover the full smile zone, and 10 extend to the premolars. The right number depends on your smile width and goals.
It depends on your smile and goals. Some patients treat a single discolored tooth; others choose six to eight veneers across the visible smile zone. We plan this together during your consultation.
Veneer preparation involves removing a small amount of enamel, so teeth will always need a veneer or similar restoration afterward. With good care, porcelain veneers commonly last a decade or more.
