Enhance Your Smile With Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are extremely thin shells, typically crafted from either porcelain or resin, and are fixed to the front surfaces of your teeth to elevate the aesthetics of your smile. Our skilled dentists may suggest dental veneers as a solution for various smile imperfections, such as:
- Large gaps and spaces between your teeth
- Severely stained or discolored teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Slightly misaligned teeth
- Cracked, fractured, chipped, worn or broken teeth
Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile due to porcelain’s close resemblance to natural tooth enamel in terms of color and translucence, ensuring a naturally beautiful result for your smile. Additionally, porcelain boasts stain-resistance, ensuring the enduring brilliance of your smile for many years. Resin veneers can also be meticulously matched to the natural color of your teeth. Through the application of dental veneers, you can achieve the splendidly beautiful, and confident smile that you have always wanted.
Veneers have traditionally required two appointments to complete – one at which impressions are taken and your teeth prepared and another at which the final, custom-made veneers are bonded into place. Our practice, however, features glidewell.io™ technology, which may make it possible for you to complete your entire treatment in a single visit to our office, saving you time and allowing you to leave with a totally renewed smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers
What materials are used for dental veneers?
Veneers are crafted from either porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers are known for their durability, stain resistance and lifelike appearance. Composite veneers are a more affordable option and can often be applied in one visit. Both options enhance your smile while preserving your natural tooth structure.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care, while composite veneers may last 5 to 7 years. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help extend their lifespan.
Can I get veneers in one appointment?
Some composite veneers can be completed in a single visit. Porcelain veneers usually require two or more appointments, allowing time for preparation, impressions and placement of the custom restoration.
Are veneers reversible?
Since a small amount of enamel is removed, porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment. However, they can be replaced or updated as needed. Composite veneers may be more reversible depending on the application.
