Veneers

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to change their appearance. They’re designed to look just like natural teeth and can fix a variety of cosmetic issues, including:

Veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin, and they’re custom designed to match the color, shape, and size of your other teeth—so you get a smile that looks natural, only better!

Why Choose Veneers?

Veneers are one of the best ways to get a total smile makeover. Here are a few reasons why patients love them:

• Natural Appearance

Veneers are made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They’re custom-designed just for you, so no one will know you’ve had work done—just that your smile looks amazing.

• Long-Lasting

With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or more, making them a durable, long-term option for improving your smile.

• Stain-Resistant

Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and wine, so your smile stays bright and beautiful.

• Minimal Prep

Veneers don’t require much alteration to your natural teeth, making them a less invasive option than other treatments.

The Veneers Process: What to Expect

Getting veneers is simpler than you might think. Here’s how it works:

1. Consultation

During your consultation, we’ll chat about your smile goals and decide if veneers are the right choice for you. We’ll also take a look at your teeth to make sure you’re a good candidate.

2. Tooth Prep

If veneers are a go, we’ll prep your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface to make room for the veneers. Don’t worry—it’s a super small amount and won’t affect the strength of your teeth.

3. Impressions

We’ll take impressions of your teeth to ensure your veneers are the perfect shape and size. These impressions are sent to a lab, where your custom veneers will be created.

4. Temporary Veneers

While your permanent veneers are being made, we’ll fit you with temporary ones to protect your teeth and give you a sneak peek of your new smile.

5. Veneer Placement

Once your custom veneers are ready (usually in about 2-3 weeks), we’ll bond them to your teeth using a strong adhesive. After some final adjustments, your smile will be good to go!

Caring for Your Veneers

Once you’ve got your new veneers, you’ll want to take good care of them to keep your smile looking its best. Here are a few tips:

• Brush and floss daily

Veneers don’t require special care—just keep up with your regular brushing and flossing routine to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

• Avoid biting hard objects

While veneers are durable, it’s still a good idea to avoid using your teeth to bite into hard objects like ice, pens, or your fingernails.

• Limit staining foods and drinks

Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, but it’s still a good idea to limit foods and drinks that can stain, like coffee, tea, or red wine.

• Visit us regularly

Regular dental check-ups will help keep your veneers in great shape and ensure your natural teeth stay healthy.
