What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front surfaces of anterior teeth. They can conceal a range of imperfections, from chips and cracks to stains and gaps. Each veneer is custom-crafted to look completely natural so that everyone around you notices your stunning smile—not your dental work.
Dental veneers can be made from several different materials, but Nordhus Dentistry prefers porcelain for its unbeatable aesthetic benefits. Porcelain is a semi-translucent material, so porcelain veneers reflect light in the same way natural enamel does. The material's shade can also be easily customized to match the look of the natural surrounding teeth or to give your smile a brightened boost.
Top Benefits of Veneers
Dr. Nordhus considers veneers to be a piece of art. He has trained in prestigious programs like the Las Vegas Institute to perfect his skills. This allows us to maximize the benefits of this cosmetic procedure.
A Versatile Treatment
Few cosmetic treatments can address the wide array of cosmetic problems that veneers can. Whether you have a tooth that is discolored, chipped, cracked, misshapen, or small, our esteemed dentist, Dr. Nordhus, can customize a cosmetic treatment using porcelain veneers to beautify your smile.
Beautiful Results
There’s a reason that so many celebrities and models turn to veneers to deliver dramatic cosmetic results. Advanced cosmetic dentistry techniques make veneers look completely natural while giving your smile a dazzling upgrade. Dr. Nordhus can give you results that make it hard not to smile!
Improved Self-Image
Life is too short to live with insecurities about the appearance of your smile. Numerous studies have described how important our smiles are. An attractive smile conveys youth, confidence, and beauty. Whether you are pursuing career advancement, personal fulfillment, or a new romantic relationship, a beautiful smile is a great place to start.
A Lasting Solution
This dental solution can last for well over 10 years with proper care. Porcelain has stain-resistant properties that allow your smile to remain white. Patients can add to the life of their porcelain veneers by refraining from smoking, practicing good oral hygiene habits, and visiting our Wichita, KS, office twice a year for cleanings and exams.

Minor Chips
Accidents happen. Over the course of many years, small chips can accumulate and blemish an otherwise attractive and healthy smile. If your teeth have suffered damage that cannot be addressed through cosmetic bonding, our office can fabricate a thin porcelain shell that can cover your teeth and transform the appearance of your smile.
Discoloration
Teeth whitening can only address mild extrinsic stains. Staining that affects the deeper layers of your tooth, such as those that result from tetracycline, does not respond to teeth whitening. If your teeth are severely discolored, porcelain veneers from our Wichita dental office can brighten your teeth by several shades.
Misshapen Teeth
Veneers can make teeth appear to have a completely different shape. Dental veneers can be fabricated to enhance the appearance of a small tooth or teeth or to fill gaps between teeth. If the size or shape of your tooth has been bothering you, our dentist has the right solution.
Are Veneers Right for Me?
The best candidates for veneers are in good oral health and desire a more attractive smile. During your cosmetic consultation at our Wichita, KS, dental office, Dr. Nordhus will describe your cosmetic treatment options. Our practice provides multiple cosmetic treatments, and we will only recommend the one we feel is best for you. For example, if you simply require minor alterations to address chips or cracks, our dentist can perform cosmetic bonding to address aesthetic issues. More significant damage may be better treated with custom dental crowns.
If you live in West Wichita or nearby and are considering porcelain veneers, there are a few factors to take into consideration:
A healthy smile is the best foundation for a beautiful smile. If you have any symptoms of gum disease, tooth decay or another oral health issue, our dentist can address the concerns with gentle and effective treatment at our Wichita office before scheduling your cosmetic procedure.
Patients who wish to undergo veneer placement should understand that in many cases, the treatment is irreversible. While there are some minimal- and no-prep veneer options, traditional treatments will require the removal of enamel, and the treated tooth will always require some type of restoration.
The Veneers Timeline At Nordhus Dentistry
Veneers typically require two visits to our office over a period of a few weeks. In general, here is what you can expect during this dental treatment:
Reshaping the teeth and placing the veneers isn't especially uncomfortable, but sedation is available upon request to put you at ease.

View on GoogleAre Veneers Covered by Insurance?
Because veneers are an elective cosmetic treatment, they are unfortunately not covered by dental insurance. However, we accept flexible financing through CareCredit® to keep all of our treatments affordable. You can secure a loan for your veneers and repay it in monthly installments that work for your budget.
Maintaining Your Results
You will be given detailed instructions on how to maintain your veneers, including:
- Don't use your teeth to tear or pry open objects or packages. Doing so could cause your porcelain veneers to come loose.
- You'll want to take steps to maintain optimal oral health so your underlying tooth structure does not develop decay.
- Though porcelain is stain-resistant, try to minimize the consumption of staining foods and drinks to keep them brighter for longer.
