Every patient that receives porcelain veneers has a unique reason; some want to hide tooth stains that can't be fixed by normal "at-home bleaching" kits, where some patients might want to just lengthen their teeth that seem too short.
To make porcelain veneers, the cosmetic dentist first removes the outer layer (about .5 mm thick) of the outer enamel, and after, impressions of the prepared teeth are sent to a dental laboratory that specializes in porcelain veneer fabrication. Dr. Schmid's holistic approach to oral health strives to produce a harmony between teeth, joints, muscles, and nerves.
