Porcelain Veneers in OKC: Subtle Changes, Big Confidence
If you have chipped edges, uneven spacing, or teeth that just never matched your smile goals, OKC porcelain veneers can create a balanced, natural look without overhauling your entire mouth. At Saxon Dentistry, Dr. Chris Saxon designs veneers that highlight who you are, not a version of you that looks overdone. His focus is precision, proportion, and realism, so your smile fits your face and feels like it always belonged there.
Why people choose veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that bond to the front of teeth. They are ideal when:
- You have discoloration that whitening cannot fix
- Enamel is worn or chipped from years of use
- Teeth are uneven or slightly rotated
- You want to close small gaps without orthodontics
- You want a brighter, more uniform smile
Veneers are about control. You can change the shape, color, and alignment while still keeping your natural tooth structure intact. The key is restraint. Done right, they correct what distracts from your smile without erasing its character.
What makes our veneer approach different
Dr. Saxon approaches cosmetic work like fine-tuning, not remodeling. Every veneer case starts with detailed photos, a digital smile design, and a conversation about what you like and what you do not. You are part of every decision, from shade to shape to the subtle details that make a smile believable.
Natural translucency
Real teeth are not flat white. They have depth and light. Layered ceramics and advanced shading recreate that vitality so your veneers blend in instead of standing out.
Facial harmony
A smile cannot be designed in isolation. Your lips, skin tone, and facial balance all matter. Veneers that work in harmony with your features make the result feel authentic, not artificial.
Long-term function
Cosmetic work still has to perform. Your bite, speech, and enamel health all factor into the design. Each case is planned for both strength and beauty so your veneers do more than just look good.
The veneer process step-by-step
1) Consultation and smile planning
We start with a conversation, digital imaging, and a mock-up so you can preview your new smile before any work begins.
2) Minimal preparation
Only a small amount of enamel is adjusted to make room for the veneer shell. Dr. Saxon focuses on conservation, keeping the healthy tooth beneath strong and stable.
3) Custom fabrication
Your impressions and design go to a trusted ceramic artist who handcrafts each veneer to match the details of your smile plan.
4) Try-in and adjustment
Before bonding, we test each veneer for color and fit. You get to see the look before anything becomes permanent.
5) Bonding and finishing
Once you are happy, the veneers are permanently bonded, polished, and checked for bite comfort. You leave with a complete smile transformation that feels natural when you talk and eat.
Caring for your veneers
Porcelain veneers are highly durable, but like natural enamel, they respond best to consistent care:
- Brush and floss daily
- Use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste
- Avoid chewing ice or hard objects
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Keep up with your cleanings and exams
With proper care, veneers can last ten years or more without losing their shine or structure.
Common questions
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain resists staining much better than natural enamel, but your surrounding teeth can still discolor over time. Occasional whitening touch-ups help maintain an even tone.
Do they look fake?
Not when done correctly. Natural shading, realistic contouring, and careful proportioning make them indistinguishable from real enamel.
How many veneers do I need?
It depends on your goals. Some patients choose one or two for symmetry, others six to eight for a full smile line. We will help you plan what makes sense.
Why people trust Dr. Saxon
Every smile Dr. Saxon creates starts with listening. His mix of artistry and precision comes from years of advanced training in cosmetic dentistry. He focuses on results that age well, work that looks as good in ten years as it does the day it is placed.
