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. Porcelain resists staining and typically lasts ten to fifteen years; composite costs less and can often be finished in a single visit.
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.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve more natural tooth structure when your case allows it. Not every case is a fit, but it's evaluated before committing to a more invasive prep.
Veneers are matched to your natural teeth or your target brighter shade. You see the planned shade against your actual teeth before it's locked in.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
The longer-lasting option, resistant to staining and closer to natural enamel translucency.

Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"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."
Since enamel is typically removed for a proper fit, veneers are considered permanent.
With good hygiene, they commonly last ten to fifteen years before replacement is needed.
Modern porcelain mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an obviously artificial look.
Some mild sensitivity afterward is possible, but prep and bonding are done comfortably numbed.
Veneers cover just the front surface; crowns encase the entire visible tooth.
Cost varies by material choice and is quoted per tooth before you commit.
