Dental Veneers

Enhancing Your Smile with Confidence

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their shape, size, and color. They offer one of the most effective ways to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile while preserving much of your natural tooth structure. Veneers are especially popular for correcting chipped teeth, gaps, discoloration, or minor misalignments.

Types of Veneers

Modern veneers are crafted from high-quality materials designed to provide both strength and aesthetics. Depending on your needs and preferences, your doctor will recommend the best option for you. The most common types of veneers include:

• Porcelain Veneers – Highly durable and stain-resistant, porcelain veneers mimic the translucency of natural enamel and provide long-lasting results. If damaged, the entire veneer needs to be replaced. Oftentimes, it cannot be repaired.
• Composite Veneers – Made from tooth-colored resin, composite veneers can be applied in a single visit and are a more affordable option, though they may not last as long as porcelain. They are easier to repair if damaged or chipped.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The process of getting veneers typically takes two visits. At the first visit, the dentist gently reshapes the surface of your tooth and takes impressions or 3D scan. We will collaborate with our patients on their final color and shade for their new crown. If needed, photos and videos can be taken for a better esthetic match. A temporary covering may be placed to protect your teeth until your custom veneers are ready. At the second appointment, the dentist bonds the veneers to your teeth, carefully shaping and polishing them for a seamless, natural look.

Commonly Asked Questions

Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Porcelain veneers are designed to reflect light similarly to natural teeth, creating a smile that looks both healthy and natural.

How long do veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or more. Composite veneers may last 5–7 years, depending on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. A nightguard or retainer is usually recommended to increase the longevity of the veneers

Are veneers permanent?
Because some enamel is removed during the preparation process, veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic solution. However, they may need replacement or repair over time due to normal wear.
