Veneers

Thin, custom-made shells that correct gaps, chips, stains, and misshapen teeth.

A close-up of a bright, healthy smile

You no longer need to hide your smile because of gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth. With veneers, you can easily correct your teeth's imperfections to help you have a more confident, beautiful smile. Veneers are natural in appearance and are a perfect option for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials (such as porcelain) designed to cover the front side of your teeth. To prepare for veneers, your doctor will create a unique model of your teeth. This model is sent to a dental technician who creates your veneers. Before placing your new veneer, your doctor may need to conservatively prepare your tooth to achieve the desired aesthetic result.

When your veneers are placed, you'll be pleased to see that they look like your natural teeth. While veneers are stain-resistant, your doctor may recommend that you avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maintain the beauty of your new smile.

Common Questions

What can veneers fix?
Gaps, chips, permanent stains, and teeth that are slightly crooked or misshapen. They are a good fit when your teeth are healthy and you want to change how your smile looks.
Do veneers damage your teeth?
We remove only a very thin layer of enamel so the veneer sits flush, and that step is permanent. We go over exactly what is involved before you commit to anything.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers commonly last ten to fifteen years. Avoid using your teeth as tools, wear a nightguard if you grind, and keep up your regular cleanings.
Will my veneers stain?
Porcelain resists staining well. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can still discolor the natural teeth and margins around them, so normal hygiene still matters.
