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.
