A veneer is a thin shell — usually porcelain, sometimes composite resin — bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct its shape, size, or color. Porcelain veneers resist staining better and last longer, typically ten to fifteen years, while composite veneers cost less and can be completed in a single visit.
A thin layer of enamel is typically prepped off before bonding, which is why the process is considered permanent rather than reversible. A same-visit digital mock-up shows you the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated in a lab.
Veneers won't stop new decay from forming on the rest of the tooth, so routine cleanings and exams still matter just as much afterward. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect the new veneers from chipping.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before any enamel is prepped or veneers ordered.
Choose long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding depending on budget and timeline.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal.
Veneers are shade-matched to your natural teeth or your desired brighter target shade.

"Explained every step before doing anything. First time a dental visit didn't feel rushed."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Straight to a specialist who knew exactly what to do."
"Price they quoted on the phone matched the invoice exactly. No surprise charges."
Since a thin layer of enamel is typically removed to fit them, veneers are considered a permanent, irreversible procedure.
Lifespan varies by habits like grinding, but a decade or more is typical for porcelain.
Modern porcelain closely mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an artificial, overly white look.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is generally not painful.
Crowns are typically used for more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface solution.
Cost varies by material — porcelain versus composite — and is quoted per tooth before you commit.
