What Are Veneers and How Do They Work?

Veneers are ultra-thin, tooth-colored coverings typically made from medical-grade porcelain or composite resin. They are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance, strength, and functionality. The process begins with a consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for veneers. Once approved, a small amount of enamel is gently removed to ensure a proper fit. We then take impressions of your teeth, which are used to create your custom veneers. During your final appointment, we carefully bond them to your teeth, making minor adjustments to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.

Benefits of Choosing Veneers

One of the greatest advantages of veneers is their ability to address multiple dental issues at once. They can cover stubborn stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments, close small gaps between teeth, and even correct minor alignment issues without the need for braces. Porcelain veneers are also highly resistant to staining, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and beverages without worry. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or longer, making them a worthwhile investment in your smile.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Ideal candidates for veneers are those with healthy teeth and gums who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their smile. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with:

• Discolored or stained teeth
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
• Gaps or uneven spacing
• Mildly crooked teeth

However, veneers may not be suitable for those with significant tooth decay, gum disease, or bruxism (teeth grinding). During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals to determine if this treatment is the best option for you.
