What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are custom-made, ultra-thin porcelain or composite shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments worldwide, offering a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile with minimal tooth preparation.

Types of Dental Veneers

Porcelain veneers are the most durable and natural-looking option, lasting 15 to 20 years with proper care. They are highly resistant to staining and closely mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. Composite veneers are more accessible and can be applied in a single visit, but they typically last 5 to 7 years. For those seeking minimal preparation, prepless veneers (lumineers) offer an excellent alternative that preserves your natural tooth structure.

What Can Veneers Fix?

Veneers are ideal for correcting discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening treatments, chipped or broken teeth, gaps between teeth, slightly misaligned teeth, and teeth that are irregularly shaped or unevenly sized. For a complete smile transformation, many patients opt for a full set of veneers as part of a Hollywood Smile makeover.

The Veneer Procedure

Getting veneers typically requires two to three visits. During the first visit, your dentist prepares the teeth and takes impressions. Temporary veneers are placed while your custom veneers are crafted in our in-house dental laboratory. At your final appointment, the permanent veneers are bonded to your teeth.
