Why Choose Veneers?

Have you ever dreamed of a complete smile transformation? Veneers can make that dream a reality. These ultra-thin, durable porcelain shells are custom-designed to cover the front of your teeth, masking a variety of cosmetic imperfections including stubborn stains, misalignment, gaps, or damaged teeth. Their versatility makes them a popular choice for patients seeking a long-lasting, comfortable, and natural-looking smile upgrade.

The Benefits of Veneers

  • Natural Look: Our veneers are meticulously crafted to mimic the slight translucency of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.
  • Effortless Care: With individually applied veneers, maintaining your oral hygiene routine is as simple as ever — just brush and floss as usual.
  • Built to Last: Don't let their slim profile fool you — porcelain veneers are made of strong materials that are tough and durable to allow natural function of your teeth.

The Veneers Treatment Process

Prepare for Perfection

After your initial cosmetic consultation and treatment approval, your dentist will gently prep your teeth, creating the ideal foundation for your veneers.

Preview Your New Smile

Following preparation, we'll take detailed impressions or digital scans of your teeth to craft your permanent veneers. In the meantime, you'll wear custom temporary veneers, protecting your teeth and giving you a sneak peek of your future smile.

Reveal Your Radiance

Once your bespoke veneers arrive, your dentist will ensure a perfect fit and appearance. After any necessary adjustments, your veneers will be permanently bonded to your teeth, unveiling your dazzling new smile.

What Makes Us Different

  • Digital Smile Design: With Digital Smile Design technology, you can see what your smile will look like before treatment begins! Our software allows us to manipulate images of your teeth and simulate a new smile based on different treatment plans. You can see the end results before you commit to treatment.
  • No-Prep Options Available: Veneers require the removal of a thin layer of enamel. If you're interested in keeping your enamel, want a semi-permanent solution, or need more volume, we have no-prep options available!
  • Comfortable Digital Scanning: By using digital scanning technology to create your custom veneers, you'll never have to endure another goopy, uncomfortable impression tray again.

Frequently Asked Questions

While veneers are designed as a long-term solution, removal is possible but not recommended. The process of applying veneers involves permanently altering your natural teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel. If veneers are removed, your teeth would require protection, often in the form of new veneers or crowns. It's crucial to view veneers as a commitment to your smile's future. With proper care and maintenance, your veneers can last for many years, potentially decades. If issues arise, it's typically better to replace or repair individual veneers rather than attempt removal. Always consult with your dentist about any concerns regarding your veneers.

With proper care, veneers typically last between 15 to 20 years. Their longevity largely depends on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle. Over time, you may notice some wear, and individual veneers might require repair or replacement. To maximize the lifespan of your veneers, maintain excellent oral hygiene, attend regular dental check-ups, and avoid habits that could potentially damage them.

Most veneers are crafted from high-quality ceramic porcelain. This material is chosen for its remarkable resemblance to natural tooth enamel in both appearance and texture. The porcelain is carefully color-matched to your existing teeth and possesses similar hardness and translucency to enamel, making it the ideal material for enhancing your smile.

While both veneers and Lumineers serve to enhance your smile, there are some key differences. Lumineers are a specific brand of ultra-thin veneers, typically about 0.2mm thick, while traditional veneers are around 0.5mm thick. Due to their thinness, Lumineers often don't require the removal of existing enamel and are sometimes called "no-prep" or "minimal-prep" veneers. Traditional veneers, while slightly thicker, offer more versatility in correcting a wider range of cosmetic issues.

The cost of veneers can vary based on several factors, including the number of teeth being treated, your overall oral health, and the specific size and shape of each tooth. For an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a cosmetic consultation. During this visit, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth, assess your oral health, and provide a detailed quote for your personalized veneer treatment.
