A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain or sometimes composite resin, bonded to the front of a tooth to reshape it, resize it, or change its color. Composite bonding is quicker and cheaper per tooth; porcelain holds up longer and mimics natural enamel more convincingly.
A small amount of enamel prep is typical, which is part of why the process is considered permanent. Most patients see a preview before committing, so there are no surprises with the final look.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Grinding at night is a common reason veneers chip early, so a nightguard is often recommended alongside the procedure.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before prep work or lab fabrication begins. You can request tweaks to the preview until the shape and shade feel right.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal. Whether you qualify depends on your existing tooth shape and alignment, assessed at consultation.
Shape and shade are customized so the result looks deliberate, not uniformly artificial. You see the planned shade against your actual teeth before it's locked in.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
Lab-made shells bonded to the front of teeth, lasting ten to fifteen years with care.
Sculpted and bonded directly to the tooth in a single visit, at lower cost than porcelain.
Several front teeth veneered together for a coordinated, symmetrical result.
Preserves more of your natural tooth than traditional veneer prep.
A chipped or aging veneer can often be repaired or replaced without redoing the whole smile.

"Called and they were upfront that my usual office was booked, then found me somewhere open the same week."
"Price on the phone matched the invoice exactly. No surprise charges at all."
"Was honest that the closest office was full and got me into a nearby one instead of leaving me stuck."
Because enamel is prepped away, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare.
With good hygiene, they commonly last ten to fifteen years before replacement is needed.
A preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade before the final result is made.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the process itself generally isn't painful.
Crowns suit more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface fix.
Cost varies by material choice and is quoted per tooth before you commit.
