Meet Dr. Michael Sielski at The Grove to discuss porcelain veneers, composite veneers, and alternatives. Bring the details you would like to change. The exam and smile design help you decide what fits your teeth before you commit to preparation.
Answer three questions to explore your options. Your dentist can confirm whether veneers, bonding, or whitening best fits your needs.
Your teeth, facial features, and goals guide your treatment. We explain your options and help you choose a plan.
Dr. Michael Sielski at The Grove is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He provides porcelain veneer consultations and treatment planning.
Dr. Sielski has taught at dental schools and led continuing education workshops on cosmetic dentistry.
We design each veneer to complement your lips, gums, and natural teeth. Dr. Sielski preserves as much enamel as your treatment allows.
Choose from nine Austin-area studios or our McKinney location. Our team can help you arrange a veneer consultation.
Porcelain and composite veneers differ in cost, durability, and treatment time. Dr. Sielski explains the benefits and limitations of each option.
A dental laboratory makes each porcelain veneer to fit your tooth. The material reflects light like natural enamel and resists stains.
Your dentist shapes tooth-colored resin directly on your teeth. Treatment can take one visit, without laboratory fabrication or temporary veneers.
Each treatment addresses different needs. Compare the options, then discuss your tooth health and goals with your dentist.

Porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Daily cleaning, dental checkups, and protection from damage help maintain your smile.
Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste to clean your teeth and veneers.
Clean between your teeth daily to remove plaque and protect your gums.
If you grind or clench your teeth, ask your dentist whether a night guard can help protect your veneers.
Keep the checkup schedule your dentist recommends. We check your veneers, gums, and bite at these visits.
Biting hard objects can chip or damage veneers.
Use scissors to open packaging and protect your teeth from damage.

Bonding can repair small chips or gaps, often in one visit. Your dentist may recommend bonding when a veneer is unnecessary.
If you want a brighter smile, ask about whitening before veneers. We can then match your veneers to the new shade of your natural teeth.
Crowding or bite problems may need orthodontic treatment before veneers. Your dentist will explain whether Invisalign could help.
Book with The Grove to discuss your teeth, compare materials, and ask about the visits your plan would involve.
