Dental veneers may be an excellent solution for you if you are dealing with issues such as crowded teeth, chipped or worn down teeth, or areas of staining. Dental veneers can be customized to match the shade and shape of your teeth, giving you the perfect smile you’ve always wanted. They are also long-lasting and, with proper care, can last many years before needing replacement or repairs.
Our cosmetic experts are highly skilled in veneer engineering and placement. First, we take a detailed impression of your teeth to custom-fabricate veneers that fit perfectly over your natural teeth. Then, the dentist will remove a thin enamel layer to ensure the veneers bond perfectly.
The veneers, which are thin ceramic layers, are then permanently bonded to your teeth to conceal any flaws or imperfections. We pay attention to even the most minor aesthetic details, such as color and tone matching, gum and lip lines, jaw contours and facial bone structures, and even your natural skin tone. This ensures that the porcelain veneers perfectly complement your natural features and give you a beautiful, confident smile.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are incredibly thin shells that are applied on the front surfaces of a person’s teeth. Depending on the style of veneers, the teeth may be prepped first by removing a small amount of enamel. Once installed, the veneers can cover noticeable flaws to make adjustments to alignment. They can also adjust the thickness of them to improve spacing.
They are very easy to apply, requiring preparation of the teeth and then securing them in place with a strong dental adhesive.

What types of dental veneers are available?
The two main types of dental veneers are porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both are good options to help you improve your smile.
Composite (resin) veneers are manufactured in-office, using tooth-colored resin, and applied directly to the teeth. They are typically less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, and they work well to cover up many aesthetic problems.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made out of porcelain to fit your teeth. These are typically made in a laboratory and sent to our office. We will apply them and ensure they fit your teeth as they should. Porcelain veneers generally last longer because of the stronger material, provide a more natural look, and can fix larger cosmetic issues such as very dark stained teeth or teeth positioned incorrectly.

How long do dental veneers last?
Our veneers are made of a high-quality material that is designed to last. On average, most veneers last 10-15 years. However, with exceptional dental care, your dental veneers can last more than 20 years.
