Porcelain veneers, usually just called “veneers” for short, are thin, shell-like pieces of porcelain that are designed to look just like natural teeth, and to fit over and cover up the front surfaces of your teeth. These veneers are built by a dental lab to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. By using a set of multiple veneers, you can quickly improve your smile and correct just about any cosmetic issue. Your smile will feel amazing, look bright and beautiful, and last for years to come.
If you are self-conscious about your smile due to stains, chips, gaps, misshapen teeth, or any other cosmetic concern, porcelain veneers from Dr. Blalock at Lakeside Dental may be the right solution for you. Veneers are thin, shell-like pieces of porcelain designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, fitted over the front surfaces of your teeth to quickly and dramatically improve your smile. Dr. Blalock specializes in porcelain veneers and takes a personalized approach to every case, making sure your results look beautiful and feel completely natural. We proudly serve patients in Lenoir City, Loudon, Tellico Village, and surrounding areas.

The first step is a consultation with Dr. Blalock, where he will evaluate your teeth, listen to your smile goals, and determine whether porcelain veneers are a good fit for you. He will explain how veneers work, what the process involves, and what kind of results you can expect, so you feel fully informed and confident before moving forward.
At your first treatment appointment, Dr. Blalock will gently trim and prepare your teeth to make room for your veneers. He will then take precise measurements and impressions, which are sent to a dental lab where your custom porcelain veneers will be crafted. Before you leave, you will be fitted with a set of temporary veneers to protect your teeth while your permanent ones are being made.
When your permanent veneers arrive at our office, you will come back in for your second appointment. Dr. Blalock will remove your temporary veneers, ensure your new porcelain veneers fit perfectly, and bond them into place permanently. He will make any final adjustments needed to ensure your bite feels comfortable and your smile looks exactly as you envisioned.
Veneers require minimal special care beyond your regular oral hygiene routine. Continue brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and coming in for a cleaning and exam every six months. Dr. Blalock and our team will check on your veneers and your natural teeth at each visit to make sure everything looks healthy and strong. It is also a good idea to avoid biting into extremely hard or crunchy foods with your veneers to protect your investment long-term.
