A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain or sometimes composite resin, bonded to the front of a tooth to reshape it, resize it, or change its color. Porcelain resists staining and typically lasts ten to fifteen years; composite costs less and can often be finished in a single visit.
A small amount of enamel prep is typical, which is part of why the process is considered permanent. Most patients see a preview before committing, so there are no surprises with the final look.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect new veneers from chipping.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before prep work or lab fabrication begins. Adjustments to the mock-up happen before any permanent work, not after.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal. Not every case is a fit, but it's evaluated before committing to a more invasive prep.
Shape and shade are customized so the result looks deliberate, not uniformly artificial. A shade guide and sometimes a trial smile help confirm the choice before the final shells are made.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
The longer-lasting option, resistant to staining and closer to natural enamel translucency.

"Called and they were upfront that my usual office was booked, then found me somewhere open the same week."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"No upsells, no pressure. Just the treatment I needed at the price I was told upfront."
Since enamel is typically removed for a proper fit, veneers are considered permanent.
With good hygiene, they commonly last ten to fifteen years before replacement is needed.
A preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade before the final result is made.
Some mild sensitivity afterward is possible, but prep and bonding are done comfortably numbed.
Veneers cover just the front surface; crowns encase the entire visible tooth.
Cost varies by material choice and is quoted per tooth before you commit.
