Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
Holding back your smile in photos and social settings
Feeling self-conscious about visible chips or cracks
Noticing uneven or oddly shaped teeth when you look in the mirror
Avoiding close conversations because of discoloration
Wishing your teeth matched the confidence you feel inside
Spending time and money on temporary fixes that don't last
If any of these hit home, you're not alone. A lasting solution may be closer than you think.
What Happens When You Keep Waiting?
Confidence Stays on Hold
Every month that passes is another month spent covering your smile.
Stains Become Harder to Treat
Surface discoloration can deepen over time, limiting cosmetic options.
Small Chips Can Worsen
Minor damage to enamel may grow into cracks that need more extensive repair.
Temporary Fixes Add Up
Bonding touch-ups and whitening kits cost more over time than a lasting solution.
Self-Consciousness Becomes a Habit
Avoiding photos and social moments can quietly become your normal routine.
Time Keeps Passing
The smile you want could already be yours if you take the first step.
The sooner you start, the sooner you're smiling without a second thought.
What Are Porcelain Veneers and How Do They Work?
Porcelain veneers (thin porcelain coverings) are custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Each veneer is individually designed to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, creating a natural, uniform appearance. Veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including discoloration, chips, gaps, and uneven tooth shapes, all with a conservative approach that preserves most of your natural tooth structure.
At Wojtowicz Dental, we use advanced digital imaging and CEREC technology to plan and craft your veneers in Elroy, WI, with precision. Digital impressions eliminate the need for messy molds, and our design process ensures each veneer is shaped to complement your facial features and personal preferences.
Each veneer is approximately 0.5mm thin
Porcelain resists staining better than natural enamel
Treatment typically requires two appointments to complete

Not Sure If You Qualify?
What to Expect During Your Porcelain Veneer Treatment
Consultation and Smile Design
Your visit begins with a conversation about the results you're looking for. We take digital scans of your teeth using advanced 3-D imaging, which lets us show you a preview of how your new smile could look. This is your opportunity to share preferences about shape, shade, and overall appearance, so your veneers reflect exactly what you envision.
Gentle Tooth Preparation
A thin layer of enamel is carefully removed from the front surface of each tooth receiving a veneer. This process is minimal and comfortable, and we use local anesthesia to ensure you feel no discomfort. Digital impressions capture the precise shape of your prepared teeth, and temporary veneers protect your smile while your custom porcelain is crafted.
Custom Crafting Your Veneers
Your porcelain veneers are fabricated using high-quality materials designed to match the translucency and color of natural teeth. Every detail, from shade to shape, is customized based on the digital plan created during your consultation.
Bonding and Final Placement
Once your veneers are ready, we check the fit, shape, and color against your natural teeth. After any final adjustments, each veneer is permanently bonded in place. You'll leave with a complete, natural-looking smile that feels comfortable and secure.

What to Expect After Your Porcelain Veneers
First 24 to 48 Hours
You may notice some mild sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, which is completely normal as your teeth adjust to the new veneers. Eating softer foods during this time and avoiding very hot or cold beverages can help. Most patients feel comfortable returning to their regular routine right away.
First 1 to 2 Weeks
Any initial sensitivity typically fades within the first week or two. You can return to your normal diet, though it's a good idea to avoid biting directly into very hard foods like ice or hard candy. Your bite should feel natural, and your veneers will start to feel like your own teeth.
