Veneers can also be made out of composite resin but they have a reduced lifespan of 4 to 8 years.
We will examine your teeth to rule out oral health problems and severe damage. Then, one of our dentists will have an open and honest conversation with you about your insecurities about your smile and your cosmetic goals. This will help us formulate a treatment plan that addresses your individual needs.
We need to remove .5 mm of your natural tooth enamel to prevent the veneer from sticking out. This is proportional to the thickness of the veneer.
After filing your teeth down, impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab that will fabricate your custom-made veneers.
We will provide you with a shade guide so you can select your desired shade for your veneers. We can help you select the perfect shade by matching your veneers to your natural teeth or taking other factors into account.

Let’s face it, we all want whiter teeth. The problem is, dental cleanings only remove surface stains and other cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and dental bonding produce temporary results that last for just a few years.
Veneers can be fabricated in a shade of your choosing and they’re stain-resistant to prevent discoloration. Your veneers provide you with a more permanent whitening boost that lasts for up to 15 years before needing to be replaced.
A common issue that patients want to correct includes gaps between the teeth, especially the two front teeth, as well as slightly misaligned teeth. When your orthodontic problems are minor and mostly cosmetic, veneers can be used instead of relying on orthodontics. Instead of spending lots of time and money on braces or Invisalign, you can cover up these slightly crooked teeth or close gaps with veneers.
If you’ve damaged your teeth from chewing on hard foods, grinding your teeth, or suffering from dental trauma, you may feel insecure about noticeable chips and cracks in your teeth.
When these are located at the front of the mouth, they can draw attention where we least desire it. Veneers will not only cover up these aesthetic problems, but they’ll also strengthen your teeth and protect eroded enamel.
Not only can your veneers correct tooth damage, discoloration, and orthodontic problems but they can also be used to entirely change your smile aesthetic. If you prefer that your teeth were a different size or shape, we can help you achieve that.
Veneers cannot be reversed because of the enameloplasty procedure which removes some of your natural enamel.
An ideal candidate for veneers is a patient who is unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their smile due to minor problems like discoloration, chipped teeth, minor orthodontic issues, or they want to change the way their teeth look. However, they should overall be in good oral health and their teeth should be healthy enough to withstand the treatment.
In some ways, yes, but your veneers will not last forever. Veneers are considered a permanent procedure because of the permanent change that is made to your enamel. By filing down your enamel, you make a lifelong commitment to covering your teeth with veneers. However, the lifespan of veneers is 10 to 15 years so you will need to have them replaced accordingly.
How many veneers you will need depends on your specific goals. You may only need 1 veneer but many patients opt for 4 to 6.
