If you have ever longed for a complete smile makeover, veneers could turn that dream into reality. These thin yet resilient porcelain shells cover the front surfaces of your teeth, hiding various cosmetic flaws such as severe staining, misalignment, gaps, or damaged teeth. Their adaptability makes them a sought-after option for patients seeking a lasting, comfortable, and natural-looking smile.
By using digital scanning technology to create your custom veneers, you’ll never have to endure another goopy, uncomfortable impression tray again.
Veneers are beautifully crafted to exhibit a slightly translucent appearance, much like a natural tooth.
As each veneer is applied individually, your regular brushing and flossing routine remains unchanged.
Despite their thin structure, porcelain veneers are as strong as natural tooth enamel.
With our collaborative, hands-on approach, you'll be able to understand and have a say in your final results.
Once you're approved for treatment during your cosmetic consultation, your dentist will gently buff away a thin layer of enamel to prepare your teeth for veneers.
After teeth preparation, dental impressions or models of your teeth will be taken to craft your permanent veneers. In the meantime, you'll be fitted with temporary resin veneers to protect your prepped teeth until the final veneers are ready.
Once your permanent veneers are ready, your doctor will check the fit of your custom veneers and ensure everything looks and feels great. Then, they will be bonded permanently to your teeth using dental adhesive, completing your new, dazzling smile.
No. Traditional veneers are bonded permanently and are not intended to be removed. The procedure is irreversible as it requires a thin layer of enamel to be permanently removed from your teeth. After your treatment, you'll need to care for your veneers properly, replacing them if they break or get dislodged.
The lifespan of veneers varies and largely depends on how well you maintain them. Most patients can expect their veneers to last between 15 and 20 years. Over time, your veneers may show wear and tear, and individual veneers might need repair or replacement. Maintaining good oral hygiene extends the lifespan of your veneers. Be sure to brush and floss regularly, go to your dental visits every six months, and avoid activities that could damage or dislodge your veneers.
Veneers are typically made of a high-quality ceramic porcelain material that looks and feels just like natural tooth enamel. The porcelain will be matched to the color of your teeth and is very similar to enamel in hardness and translucence, making it an ideal material for enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Veneers and Lumineers are quite similar, with the primary difference being that Lumineers are much thinner than traditional veneers. Lumineers are a specific brand of veneers made from a proprietary ceramic material. They're typically about 0.2mm thick, while traditional veneers are about 0.5mm thick. As such, Lumineers often don't require trimming of your existing enamel and are sometimes referred to as “no-prep” or “minimal-prep” veneers.
The cost of veneers varies depending on the number of teeth receiving veneers, your overall oral health, and the size and shape of each tooth, among other factors. For an accurate cost estimate, it's best to contact your dentist for a cosmetic consultation. During the consultation, your dentist will examine your mouth, assess your oral health, and provide a quote for veneer treatment.
