What are veneers, and what do they do?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front of your natural teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct a range of cosmetic flaws, including chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and misshapen teeth.

How do I care for my veneers?

To care for your veneers, you should brush and floss regularly, avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, and visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.

What is the process of getting veneers?

The process of getting veneers typically involves several appointments with your dentist. During the first appointment, your dentist will assess your teeth and determine if veneers are a good option for you. If so, they will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and taking impressions of your teeth. The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers will be custom-made. Once your veneers are ready, your dentist will place them on your teeth using a special adhesive.

Is the process of getting veneers painful?

No, the process of getting veneers is not painful. Our dentist strives to make you feel comfortable during every step of your care. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during the process.

Can anyone get veneers?

Veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure, so they are not typically covered by dental insurance. They are also not recommended for people with significant dental problems, such as decay or gum disease.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic dental procedure, as they involve removing a small amount of your tooth enamel to make room for the veneers. However, they can be replaced if needed.

How long do veneers last?

Veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on the type, how well they are cared for, and the overall health of your natural teeth.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. They can cover chips, stains, small gaps, and uneven edges all at once, giving you a brighter, more even smile that still looks like your own.

What Veneers Can Fix

Stains that whitening can’t lift
Chipped or worn front teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Teeth that are uneven, short, or slightly out of line
Teeth that are small or oddly shaped

If your main concern is crooked teeth, Invisalign may be a better first step. If it’s color alone, whitening might be all you need. We’ll tell you honestly.

Why Porcelain?

Natural look

Porcelain reflects light like real enamel.

Stain resistant

Coffee, tea, and wine won’t discolor it the way they do natural teeth.

Long-lasting

Porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or more with good care.

Conservative

Only a thin layer of enamel is removed to make room for the veneer.

The Veneers Process

1. Consultation

We talk about the smile you want, check the health of your teeth and gums, and take digital X-rays and impressions.

2. Design and Preparation

We plan the shape, length, and shade of each veneer with you. Then we gently prepare the teeth and place temporary veneers so you can get a feel for your new smile.

3. Placement

When your custom veneers are ready, we check the fit and color, make any final adjustments, and bond them in place.

Caring for Your Veneers

Brush and floss as usual, and keep up with your regular cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens, and if you grind your teeth at night, we may recommend a night guard to protect your veneers.

Veneers FAQs

Are veneers permanent?

Because a thin layer of enamel is removed, veneers are considered a permanent choice. They may need replacing after many years, but your teeth will always need some kind of covering.
Do veneers hurt?

We numb the area before preparing your teeth, so the process is comfortable. Some people notice mild sensitivity for a few days.
How many veneers do I need?

Some patients fix one chipped tooth. Others choose 6 to 10 veneers across the front of their smile. We'll help you decide based on what shows when you smile.
Can I whiten veneers?

No. Porcelain doesn't respond to whitening, so if you'd like brighter natural teeth too, we'll whiten them first and match your veneers to the new shade.
Does insurance cover veneers?

Usually not, since veneers are cosmetic. We offer financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Compassionate Finance. See our financial options.
