Porcelain Veneers
Transform your smile with precision and elegance.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells that are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They’re one of the most effective ways to dramatically enhance your smile—correcting shape, color, and alignment without extensive procedures.
Veneers not only improve appearance—they can also add strength and protection to worn or damaged teeth. With proper care, they can last 10 to 30 years.
What Can Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers are ideal for addressing:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Slight misalignment
- Teeth that appear too small or worn
The Veneer Process: What to Expect
-
Porcelain veneers typically require 2–3 appointments to complete, depending on your case and customization.
🦷 Step 1: Consultation & Smile Design
We begin with a personalized consultation to understand your goals and plan your ideal smile. We’ll discuss shape, shade, and what kind of results you’re looking for.
🦷 Step 2: Tooth Preparation & Impressions
A very thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Then, we take precise impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit.
Veneers are crafted either in a dental lab or on-site, depending on your needs.
🦷 Step 3: Placement & Bonding
At your final visit, the dentist will:
- Clean and prep the tooth surface
- Test the fit and appearance of each veneer
- Permanently bond the veneers using a strong dental adhesive
- Make any final adjustments for a natural, comfortable bite
The result? A stunning, confident smile that looks completely natural.

Porcelain Crowns
Restore strength, protect your tooth, and enhance your smile.
A dental crown (also called a “cap”) is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire surface of a damaged tooth, restoring its original shape, size, and function. Crowns are used when a tooth is too compromised for a filling or other conservative treatment.
At Ora Dental, we use porcelain crowns for most restorations because they’re strong, durable, and blend naturally with your smile.
Why You Might Need a Crown
You may need a porcelain crown if you have:
- A broken or fractured tooth
- A tooth weakened by decay
- A tooth with a large or failing filling
- A tooth after root canal therapy
- A desire for cosmetic improvement (shape, color, alignment)
Crowns can also be used in combination with bridges or dental implants.
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
✅ Matches the color and shape of your natural teeth
✅ Restores full strength and function
✅ Protects the tooth from further damage
✅ Long-lasting with proper care
✅ Improves bite and appearance
Porcelain crowns are metal-free, making them an ideal choice for front or back teeth where aesthetics matter most.
What to Expect: The Crown Procedure
Getting a porcelain crown typically involves two appointments.
🦷 Appointment 1: Preparation & Temporary Crown
- Local anesthesia is used to numb the area.
- The dentist removes decay and shapes the tooth.
- Precise impressions are taken to create your permanent crown.
- A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your custom crown is made at the lab.
🦷 Appointment 2: Final Placement
- The temporary crown is removed.
- The tooth is cleaned and checked for fit and comfort.
- Your new crown is cemented in place and your bite is adjusted.
Once in place, your crown looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
Caring for Your Crown
Porcelain crowns are durable, but like natural teeth, they still require good home care and regular checkups. We’ll provide you with full instructions to help your crown last for many years.
Teeth Whitening
Brighter teeth. One visit. Instant confidence.
If you’re looking to enhance your smile quickly and safely, professional teeth whitening is one of the most effective options. At Ora Dental, we offer in-office whitening treatments that can lift years of stains and discoloration in just one appointment.
How Professional Whitening Works
Our whitening process is designed for safe, controlled results—with little to no damage to enamel or soft tissues.
Here’s what happens during your appointment:
- Gum Protection – A special barrier is applied to shield your gums from the whitening gel.
- Whitening Gel Application – The gel is placed on your teeth and left for 15 minutes.
- Multiple Applications – The gel is reapplied 2–4 times in one session, depending on your goals.
Rinse & Reveal – At the end, all gel and barriers are removed—and your whiter, brighter smile is revealed instantly.
What to Expect After Whitening
- Some temporary sensitivity to cold is common after the procedure.
We’ll provide instructions and tips to help minimize sensitivity and maintain your results.
Why Choose In-Office Whitening?
✅ Fast results—several shades lighter in one visit
