A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain or sometimes composite resin, bonded to the front of a tooth to reshape it, resize it, or change its color. Composite bonding is quicker and cheaper per tooth; porcelain holds up longer and mimics natural enamel more convincingly.
A small amount of enamel prep is typical, which is part of why the process is considered permanent. A digital or physical mock-up shows the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect new veneers from chipping.
You approve shape and shade digitally before the lab makes the final porcelain shells. Adjustments to the mock-up happen before any permanent work, not after.
Long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding, depending on budget and timeline. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve more natural tooth structure when your case allows it. Whether you qualify depends on your existing tooth shape and alignment, assessed at consultation.
Veneers are matched to your natural teeth or your target brighter shade. A shade guide and sometimes a trial smile help confirm the choice before the final shells are made.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
The longer-lasting option, resistant to staining and closer to natural enamel translucency.
A same-day option for patients who want results without a lab turnaround wait.
Several front teeth veneered together for a coordinated, symmetrical result.
Ultra-thin shells requiring little to no enamel reduction for qualifying cases.
A chipped or aging veneer can often be repaired or replaced without redoing the whole smile.
A simulation lets you approve your projected new smile before permanent work begins.
You describe what's going on in a minute or two; no automated menu to fight through first.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
You get a clear explanation of the treatment plan and its cost before any work begins.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"Called and they were upfront that my usual office was booked, then found me somewhere open the same week."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"Was honest that the closest office was full and got me into a nearby one instead of leaving me stuck."
Because enamel is prepped away, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare.
With good hygiene, they commonly last ten to fifteen years before replacement is needed.
A preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade before the final result is made.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the process itself generally isn't painful.
Crowns suit more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface fix.
Cost varies by material choice and is quoted per tooth before you commit.
