Thinking about transforming your smile? Porcelain veneers might be the perfect solution. At Dr. Monica Crooks, D.D.S. in Sacramento, we’ve helped countless patients achieve flawless, natural-looking smiles with veneers. Our Porcelain Veneers Before and After transformations highlight just how dramatic and beautiful the results can be. But before jumping in, it’s important to understand the pros, cons, and how the process works—so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Pros of Porcelain Veneers

1. Instant Smile Upgrade:
Veneers can cover chips, gaps, stains, or uneven teeth—giving you a red-carpet smile in just a few visits.

2. Natural Look & Feel:
Crafted to match your natural teeth, porcelain veneers reflect light just like enamel. They’re so realistic, no one will know you’ve had dental work done.

3. Long-Lasting Results:
With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or longer. Think of them as a long-term investment in your confidence.

4. Stain Resistance:
Unlike natural teeth, porcelain resists common stains from coffee, wine, and tea—keeping your smile brighter, longer.

Cons to Consider

1. Irreversible Procedure:
Veneers require a small amount of enamel removal, meaning it’s a permanent choice. Always consult an expert like Dr. Crooks before moving forward.

2. Not Right for Everyone:
If you have active gum disease, tooth decay, or grind your teeth heavily, veneers might not be ideal—at least not right away.

3. Cost:
Porcelain veneers are a premium cosmetic procedure. While not covered by insurance, the results are often life-changing. We offer financing to make them more accessible.
