Cosmetic dentistry is perfect for patients who want to improve the look of a damaged or generally lackluster smile, but the need for multiple treatments becomes a drain on both your budget and your busy schedule. If you'd prefer to transform your smile for the better all at once, porcelain veneers in our Midland, TX dental office could be the ideal solution. These customized sheaths of dental porcelain are painstakingly designed by Midland cosmetic dentist, Dr. John Drisdale to fit over your teeth to create a bright, naturally flawless look you’ll love.

HOW DO PORCELAIN VENEERS WORK?
These cosmetic wonders can conceal so many different smile imperfections. For example, if you have teeth that are permanently stained or discolored, veneers create the appearance of a bright smile. Teeth that are chipped or broken can look whole again, and even teeth that are somewhat crooked or have gaps between them can be corrected.

PORCELAIN VENEERS TREATMENT PROCESS
Typically, receiving custom porcelain veneers requires two to three appointments at our dental office. You and Dr. Drisdale will first speak about what you hope to achieve through your cosmetic treatment. The dimensions of your mouth, the proportions of your face and even your complexion will have an influence on the final design of your custom veneers. But also, Dr. Drisdale wants to hear what your idea of an attractive smile is.
At the next appointment, he prepares your teeth and takes detailed impressions in order to provide you with temporary veneers and give our dental lab an accurate roadmap for creating your beautiful smile. Dr. Drisdale takes care with the creation of his temporaries so that the patient can see the beautiful way the ceramic restorations will look when the process is completed.
The restorations arrive a few weeks later, and Dr. Drisdale makes necessary adjustments to ensure you’re fully satisfied with the result before he bonds them into place. The photos in our Smile Gallery show the dramatic results Dr. Drisdale has achieved for his patients as a result of his artistry, talent and skill.
BENEFITS OF PORCELAIN VENEERS
- Veneers successfully hide a wide variety of dental flaws, including cracks, chips, stains, discoloration, gaps, and misaligned teeth. We even make corrections to the length and shape of certain teeth if that’s what the patient wants.
- For patients who don’t want to spend countless months wearing noticeable metal braces, veneers may achieve the same results.
- Veneers are virtually seamless compared to natural teeth, possessing the same translucent qualities. However, they are more resistant against staining than enamel, which allows you to maintain your newly brightened look longer.
With proper maintenance, veneers can easily last 10 to 20 years.

What to Expect When Getting Veneers
The process of getting veneers typically involves a few key steps:
- Consultation and Planning: During your first visit, Dr. Drisdale will assess your dental health and discuss your aesthetic goals. This stage may include taking X-rays or making impressions of your teeth.
- Preparation: To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed. This is essential for the veneer to fit seamlessly and look natural.
- Fitting: Once your veneers are ready, you'll have a fitting session where each veneer is meticulously adjusted and bonded to ensure perfect alignment and color matching.
UNDERSTANDING THE COST OF DENTAL VENEERS
The cost of dental veneers varies depending on several factors including the material used, the number of teeth being treated, and the complexity of the case. Generally, porcelain veneers are more expensive than composite resin due to their longer lifespan and natural appearance. In Midland, prices can range widely, so a consultation at John K Drisdale DMD will provide you with a detailed and personalized cost estimate.
VENEERS FAQS
Veneers can completely transform your smile, so it’s only natural to want to know as much about them as possible before making such a big change.

To make things a bit easier for you, check out our FAQs listed below; they cover some of the things that many patients tend to ask when they’re considering dental implants.
What are porcelain veneers, and how do they work?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are bonded to your teeth, correcting issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment.
Are porcelain veneers a permanent solution?
While porcelain veneers are highly durable and can last 10-15 years or more with proper care, they are considered a permanent treatment since a small amount of enamel is removed from your teeth during the process.
How long does the process of getting porcelain veneers take?
Typically, the process requires two to three visits: an initial consultation, tooth preparation, and a final visit to bond the veneers. The entire process can take a few weeks.
Are porcelain veneers resistant to staining?
Yes, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains from coffee, tea, wine, and other staining agents. However, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to preserve their appearance.
Can I get veneers if I have gum disease or other dental issues?
