Veneers


A Beautiful & Natural-Looking Smile

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing their shape, size, and color. Whether you're looking to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment, veneers offer a durable and aesthetic solution for a radiant smile.

Types of Veneers

✔ Porcelain Veneers – Stronger, stain-resistant, and offer superior aesthetics; typically require two visits

✔ Composite Resin Veneers – Can be completed in one visit, but may not last as long as porcelain

Are Veneers Right for You?

You may not be a candidate for veneers if you:

🔹 Have tooth decay or gum disease – These must be treated first

🔹 Have severe enamel loss – Veneers need a stable surface to adhere to

🔹 Have significant tooth damage – A crown may be a better option

🔹 Clench or grind your teeth (bruxism) – This can cause veneers to chip or break

Caring for Your Veneers

🦷 Brush and floss daily, just like natural teeth

🚫 Avoid biting hard objects (ice, fingernails, hard foods) to prevent chipping

🦷 Be mindful of grinding or clenching, as this may damage veneers

🚫 Veneers cannot be reversed, as some enamel is removed during the process

Cost & Insurance Considerations

Cosmetic treatments like veneers may not be covered by dental insurance. Be sure to check with your provider, as you may be responsible for the cost.
