Porcelain Dental Veneers in Boston
Hand-Crafted Cosmetic Transformation by a Periodontist-Led Team
What Are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Thin, custom-crafted porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells — roughly 0.5mm thick — bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, worn edges, and minor crowding. They are stain-resistant, lifelike, and designed to last decades with proper care.rnrnAt Metro Dental in Lexington, MA, every veneer case is planned by Dr. Alex Fedorenko — a board-eligible periodontist and American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) member. We evaluate your gum health and bite first, because veneers bonded to inflamed gums or an unbalanced bite rarely last. Our master-ceramist lab partnership produces the same caliber of porcelain we use for our licensed 3-on-6™ cases.

Are Veneers Right for You?
Discolored or stained teeth
Deep stains (tetracycline, age, old restorations) that whitening cannot resolve.
Chipped or worn edges
Minor structural loss from grinding, acid wear, or accidents.
Small gaps or spacing
Close visible gaps without orthodontics when alignment is otherwise acceptable.
Uneven tooth shape
Restore symmetry and proportion across your visible smile.
Healthy gums & bite
Good candidates have no active periodontal disease or significant bruxism.
Realistic expectations
Veneers enhance — they do not replace orthodontics, crowns, or whitening when those are the right fit.

Answers About Porcelain Veneers
With proper care, porcelain veneers often last 10–20 years. Gum health and bite balance are the biggest predictors of longevity — exactly why periodontist oversight matters.
Pricing depends on the number of veneers, material, and whether preparatory work is needed. We provide a written itemized estimate at your consultation before any treatment begins. CareCredit offers up to 24-month no-interest plans.
Preparation is performed under local anesthesia — most patients report mild sensitivity for 1–3 days after placement, easily managed with OTC pain relievers.
Not immediately. We treat periodontal issues first, then proceed with veneers once gum health is stable. A periodontist-led practice handles both in-house.
Porcelain is highly stain-resistant. Your surrounding natural teeth can still stain, so we often recommend a whitening pass before final veneer shade selection.
Minor alignment issues can be masked with veneers. Severe crowding is better addressed with Invisalign first — we will be honest at your consultation if veneers alone will not give you the result you want.
Cosmetic veneers are typically not covered. When a replacement has medical justification, we submit claims on your behalf for any covered portion.
Veneers cover only the front of a tooth and are best for structurally healthy teeth needing cosmetic change. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are required when more tooth structure is compromised.
A Smile That Lasts Decades, Not Seasons
Porcelain veneers, done right, are a 15–20 year investment. Every case at Metro Dental starts with a gum-health evaluation and a digital smile design — because the best veneer is one you forget is even there.
Financing is available for any scope, and your estimate is written down before we start.
