Porcelain Veneers in Columbus, OH
Having a difficult time finding orcelain Veneers in Columbus, Ohio? Dr. Patel,Trained to restore flawed teeth with durable dental restorations, l can give you a more uniform, beautiful smile.
What are veneers?
So what are veneers exactly? They’re thin porcelain shells that attach directly to the front of your teeth, transforming the appearance of your smile without extensive dental work. Dr. Patel uses both traditional porcelain and ultra-thin veneers similar to Lumineers to cover chips, cracks, and heavy stains.
These are traditionally made from porcelain, which is a very durable ceramic that closely simulates your natural teeth. Unlike teeth whitening, they are a long-term solution to cosmetic problems. In many cases, non-permanent cosmetic solutions like whitening require a touch-up every few months.
Both ultra-thin and porcelain restorations are strong and highly durable. Our in-house lab ensures the best match to your teeth, so your restoration never appears out-of-place.

What Can Veneers Correct?
Veneers are one of the most versatile restorations in cosmetic dentistry because they address multiple concerns in a single treatment. Patients choose veneers to correct:
- Teeth that are chipped, cracked, or worn down from years of use
- Deep staining or discoloration that whitening can’t resolve
- Gaps between teeth that affect the symmetry of your smile
- Minor misalignment that doesn’t require orthodontic treatment
- Teeth that appear too short or uneven relative to surrounding teeth
- Dental veneers for missing teeth can also restore appearance when combined with implants or bridges as part of a comprehensive treatment plan
Every case is different, and Dr. Patel evaluates the full picture before recommending veneers. During your consultation, he’ll assess your tooth structure, gum health, and facial proportions to determine whether veneers are the right solution or whether another approach would deliver a better outcome.
Placing your veneers
To properly place your veneers, we first acquire digital images of your teeth. Dr. Patel uses these to evaluate your smile and discuss any necessary adjustments. He will also create a 3-D model to preview your new smile before the procedure.
Before applying your restorations, your teeth must be thoroughly cleaned and buffed. This ensures a secure bond between veneer and tooth.
For traditional applications, you may need to have a thin layer of enamel removed, as well. This ensures your veneer does not stick out past your gum line. Ultra-thin veneers, similar to Lumineers, require less removal of the enamel than traditional veneers.
The entire process takes only 6 hours. As a cosmetic dentist for veneers with in-house fabrication capabilities, Dr. Patel uses dental cement and a specialized curing light to secure your restorations to your teeth during the same appointment.
The power of porcelain
Your new veneers Columbus Ohio patients choose from Infinite Smiles will match the shade, shape, and translucency of your surrounding teeth, giving you a healthy, natural smile that’s indistinguishable from your original teeth.
For the most part, you will care for your veneers like you would your natural teeth. Simply brush twice a day and floss once a day, and your beautiful new smile will last for years.
Like natural teeth you will need to take care to not bite into anything too hard. And remember that your restorations can stain like natural teeth, so limit common tooth staining foods and drinks.

At Infinite Smiles, every restoration is crafted in our in-house lab, which gives Dr. Patel direct control over the shade, contour, and fit of each veneer.
