Dental Veneers
Veneers are one of the most powerful smile transformations available. In just two visits, we can cover chips, stains, gaps, and imperfections — giving you a flawless, natural-looking smile.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells — typically made from porcelain — that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are custom-crafted to match the color, shape, and size that will look most natural and beautiful for your unique smile.
One of the things we love about veneers is the smile design process. Before any work begins, we take impressions and photos and send them to our lab, which creates a wax-up model showing exactly what your new smile will look like. You can try on your new smile before committing.
What Can Veneers Fix?
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Slightly crooked or misaligned teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
Types of Veneers We Offer
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted thin shells of dental porcelain that bond to the front of your teeth. Highly stain-resistant and the most natural-looking option.
Prepless Veneers
Require little to no removal of tooth enamel. A great option for patients who want a reversible or minimally invasive smile enhancement.
Composite Veneers
Applied directly to your teeth in a single visit using tooth-colored composite resin. A more affordable option for minor cosmetic corrections.
Common Questions
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years with proper care. Composite veneers have a shorter lifespan of 5 to 7 years. Avoiding habits like nail-biting, chewing ice, and using your teeth as tools will help your veneers last longer.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes — modern porcelain veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. We match the color, shape, and translucency to complement your smile and facial features.
Are veneers permanent?
Traditional porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel removal, making them a permanent commitment. Prepless veneers are a reversible alternative. We will discuss both options during your consultation.
Does getting veneers hurt?
The process is generally comfortable. We use local anesthesia during the preparation phase, and most patients experience only mild sensitivity for a few days after placement.
