Enhance your smile and reclaim your confidence. Veneers treat issues like gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth for a grin that feels like you. Put self-consciousness in the past and embrace a carefree, confident smile.
Why choose dental veneers?
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.
Comfortable Digital Scanning
By using digital scanning technology to create your custom veneers, you’ll never have to endure another goopy, uncomfortable impression tray again.
DID YOU KNOW?
You don’t need veneers for every tooth. Depending on your needs, you can get just one or an entire set.
The Benefits of Veneers
Natural Appearance
Veneers are beautifully crafted to exhibit a slightly translucent appearance, much like a natural tooth.
Easy Maintenance
As each veneer is applied individually, your regular brushing and flossing routine remains unchanged.
Resilience
Despite their thin structure, porcelain veneers are as strong as natural tooth enamel.
Cutting-Edge Technology
We use the advanced 3M Filtek Matrix System for composite veneers, ensuring superior aesthetics and durability for your smile.

The Veneers Treatment Process
Preparation of Teeth
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.
Temporary 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.
Final Veneer Placement
Once your final 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 to your teeth using dental adhesive, completing your new, dazzling smile.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers offer a quick and minimally invasive way to enhance the appearance of your smile by correcting color, shape, and alignment with a durable resin material.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can veneers be removed?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
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.
How long do veneers last?
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 regularly brush and floss, go to your dental visits every six months, and avoid activities that could damage or dislodge your veneers.
What are veneers made of?
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.

What’s the difference between veneers and Lumineers?
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.
How much do veneers typically cost?
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 veneers treatment.
