If you are looking for a way to transform your smile, dental veneers may be the ideal solution. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surfaces of your teeth. These tooth-colored restorations are often crafted from porcelain, which closely mimics the natural appearance of enamel and resists staining. Dental veneers can enhance your smile by addressing imperfections and providing a radiant, uniform appearance.
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment and can address a wide range of dental concerns. They are commonly recommended to:
- Close gaps or spaces between teeth
- Improve the appearance of uneven or misshapen teeth
- Correct mild misalignment for a straighter smile
- Restore teeth that are chipped, cracked or worn down
- Brighten teeth that are deeply discolored and resistant to whitening treatments
The process of receiving veneers typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, our dentists will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a proper fit. Impressions will be taken to create your custom veneers, and you will choose the shade that matches or enhances your smile. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent veneers are fabricated.
Once your custom veneers are ready, you will return for your second appointment. During this visit, our dentists will check the fit and appearance of each veneer before securely bonding them to your teeth with a strong dental adhesive. After placement, veneers can provide you with a seamless, natural-looking smile that can last for years with proper care.
Dental veneers are not only a cosmetic enhancement but also a way to boost your confidence and improve your quality of life. If you are ready to explore how veneers can benefit you, we encourage you to contact our office. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve.

FAQ
What are dental veneers made of?
Dental veneers are typically made from either porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain is popular due to its durability, natural appearance and resistance to staining. Composite resin veneers are a more affordable alternative and can often be applied in a single visit. Our experienced dentists will recommend the best material for your specific needs and goals.
How long do dental veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers generally last five to seven years. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene, avoiding habits like biting hard objects, and attending regular dental checkups will help extend the life of your veneers. We may provide specific care instructions for your veneers tailored to you.
Are dental veneers reversible?
Dental veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to ensure a proper fit. This preparation cannot be undone, so the tooth will always require a veneer or another restoration. Be sure to discuss all options with our dentists before committing to veneers.
Do veneers require special care?
Veneers do not require special care beyond good oral hygiene practices. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and using a non-abrasive toothpaste will help maintain your veneers. It is also important to avoid chewing on hard items like ice or pens, as this can damage the veneers. Regular dental checkups are essential for monitoring their condition.
