Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, enhancing your smile and restoring your confidence. Made from high-quality porcelain or resin materials, veneers are bonded directly to your teeth to address various cosmetic imperfections. Whether you are looking to correct discoloration, minor misalignments or chipped teeth, veneers offer a versatile solution that delivers a natural and radiant appearance.
Types of Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a popular choice due to their durability and ability to mimic the natural translucency of tooth enamel. They are also stain resistant, ensuring your smile remains bright and vibrant for years to come. Resin veneers, on the other hand, offer an alternative that can be precisely matched to your tooth color while providing a smooth and seamless finish.
When Are Veneers Recommended?
Our skilled dentist may recommend veneers to address a range of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Teeth that are discolored from staining, medication or aging
- Small chips, cracks or worn-down tooth surfaces
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Mildly misaligned or unevenly shaped teeth
- Teeth that are too small or irregular in size
The Veneer Process
The process of receiving dental veneers is simple and minimally invasive. During your initial visit, our dentist will discuss your goals, assess your teeth and design a custom treatment plan. The veneers are then carefully crafted to match the shape, size and shade of your natural teeth. Once bonded, veneers create a smooth, uniform smile that looks and feels natural.

FAQ
How long do dental veneers last?
With proper care, dental veneers can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. Their longevity depends on maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding habits like biting hard objects or using your teeth as tools, and attending regular dental checkups. Porcelain veneers tend to last longer than resin veneers due to their durability.
Are dental veneers reversible?
In most cases, dental veneers are not reversible. The process typically involves removing a thin layer of enamel to ensure a proper fit, which cannot be replaced. If you choose veneers, they are considered a long-term commitment, but they provide a significant improvement to your smile’s appearance.
Do dental veneers require special care?
Dental veneers do not require special care, but good oral hygiene is essential. Brush and floss daily, and avoid biting hard foods or objects that could damage the veneers. Regular dental visits help ensure the veneers stay in excellent condition and that your gums and natural teeth remain healthy.
Can anyone get dental veneers?
Dental veneers are ideal for patients with generally healthy teeth and gums who want to improve cosmetic imperfections. However, if you have significant decay, gum disease, or a habit of teeth grinding, these issues will need to be addressed first. We will evaluate if veneers are the right option for you.
