Types of Veneers We Offer

There are two main types of veneers, each designed for your specific goals and budget.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are the gold standard for cosmetic dentistry. They’re durable, stain-resistant, and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel.

Perfect for:

Permanent smile enhancement
Major discoloration or enamel wear
Patients seeking the most natural finish

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are a faster, more affordable option that can often be completed in a single visit. Made from a tooth-colored resin, they deliver excellent results for minor imperfections.

Perfect for:

Small chips or spacing issues
Patients wanting a quick, cost-effective solution

Your cosmetic dentist will explain both options during your consultation and help you choose the one that fits your smile goals and lifestyle.

The Veneer Procedure: Step by Step

Our veneer process is precise, comfortable, and completely customized to you.

Step 1: Consultation and Smile Design

We start with a detailed consultation to discuss your goals and capture 3D images of your teeth. You’ll even preview your new smile before treatment begins.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

A very thin layer of enamel is gently reshaped to ensure a seamless fit. Local anesthesia is used for comfort.

Step 3: Custom Veneer Fabrication

Your veneers are crafted by skilled dental technicians to match your desired color, contour, and natural sheen.

Step 4: Bonding and Finishing

Once ready, your veneers are bonded securely to your teeth and polished for a radiant, long-lasting finish.

Am I a Candidate for Veneers?

You may be a great candidate if you:

Have stained, chipped, or uneven teeth

Want to close gaps or correct minor misalignment

Are looking for a long-term cosmetic solution

Have good oral health and stable gums

If veneers aren’t right for you, we may recommend dental bonding, Invisalign, or professional teeth whitening instead.

Caring for Your Veneers

With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or more.

Care Tips for Long-Lasting Veneers:

Brush and floss daily with non-abrasive toothpaste
Schedule routine dental cleanings and checkups
Avoid biting hard objects (like ice or pens)
Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth

Your smile will continue to look bright and beautiful with consistent oral care and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and care.

Do veneers damage your natural teeth?

No. Only a small amount of enamel is removed, and your teeth remain protected under the veneer.

Can veneers stain or discolor?

Porcelain veneers resist stains better than natural enamel, maintaining their brightness for years.

Are veneers reversible?

Because a thin layer of enamel is removed, veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic solution.
