Understanding the Magic of Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile and effective cosmetic dentistry treatments available today. These wafer-thin ceramic shells are placed over the front of your teeth to correct a variety of common cosmetic dental concerns. Veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
What We Recommend Veneers For
Common issues addressed with porcelain veneers include:
- Chipped Teeth: Veneers restore the shape and integrity of damaged enamel.
- Gaps Between Teeth: They can close spaces for a uniform and balanced smile.
- Overly Small or Misshapen Teeth: Veneers create symmetry and proportion for each tooth.
- Permanently Discolored Teeth: They cover stains that cannot be corrected with whitening alone.
With porcelain veneers, Hilton Head and Bluffton cosmetic dentist Dr. Timothy Gross can help you achieve a straight, white, evenly shaped smile that restores both function and confidence.
Beautiful, Natural Results
By combining advanced materials, high end lab fabrication, and Dr. Gross’s artistic eye, each set of veneers becomes a custom work of art designed specifically for you. We create transformative results for our patients, such as:

A Personalized Approach to Porcelain Veneers
Dr. Gross understands that every smile is unique. That is why his approach to dentistry embraces both precision and artistry, backed by his many hours of continuing education. His goal is results that are natural, proportional, and harmonious with your facial features.
Dr. Gross works with a high end cosmetic dental laboratory to create prepless veneers, minimal prep veneers, and traditional veneers. This lab utilizes advanced technology and meticulous craftsmanship to produce custom restorations that perfectly match your unique smile.
Our partnership with our dental laboratory allows Dr. Gross to provide:
- Prepless Veneers: Designed to enhance your smile without removing any natural tooth structure.
- Minimal Prep Veneers: Conservatively shaped to fit seamlessly while preserving as much enamel as possible.
- Traditional Veneers: Custom designed when more extensive reshaping or correction is needed.
No matter which type is best for you, the focus remains on creating a smile that looks completely natural and aesthetically balanced.
Extra Durability from High-Quality Materials
Dr. Gross uses only the highest quality materials for porcelain veneers, including Empress® and e.max® ceramics. These materials are renowned for their strength, longevity, and lifelike appearance. Additionally they are stain resistant, so you can live your life without concern for your new dental restorations.
The Porcelain Veneer Process
Creating your porcelain veneers typically involves two main office visits. Dr. Gross emphasizes precision and patient comfort throughout the process.
First Visit: Tooth Preparation and Impressions
During your first visit, Dr. Gross will prepare your teeth using a conservative approach. Only a small amount of enamel is removed, or none at all for prepless veneers. This ensures the veneers fit perfectly without altering your bite or natural tooth structure unnecessarily.
Next, Dr. Gross takes highly accurate digital impressions of your teeth. These impressions are sent to our dental lab, which custom-creates your veneers according to Dr. Gross’s specifications. While your permanent veneers are being fabricated, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and allow you to preview your new smile.
Second Visit: Placement and Bonding
Once your custom veneers arrive from the lab, you will return for placement. Dr. Gross will try on each veneer to confirm it works exactly as designed. We check for:
- Fit: Each veneer is precisely designed to align with your bite and neighboring teeth.
- Appearance: Custom shading ensures your veneers look like natural enamel.
- Function: Veneers restore proper tooth function while maintaining comfort and durability.
After your approval, each veneer is carefully bonded to your teeth using advanced adhesive technology. Once bonded, your veneers feel, function, and look just like your natural teeth.
