What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, teeth-like shells of porcelain or composite resin that we place on the front of your smile. The procedure typically involves three steps: first, we remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface to create space for the veneers.

Next, we take impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers with our CEREC® technology. Finally, we bond the veneers to your teeth using dental cement, which gives your smile a radiant appearance and corrects issues like discoloration, chips, or gaps.

How Can Veneers Improve My Smile?

Veneers can correct various dental imperfections, such as:

  • Discoloration
  • Chipped Teeth
  • Misshapen Teeth
  • Gaps
  • Slight Misalignment

How Often Should I Replace My Veneers?

Typically, porcelain veneers last between 10 to 15 years, while composite veneers have a lifespan of around 5 to 7 years. However, you control how long your veneers last by following a proper care and maintenance routine at home.

How to Care for Veneers

  • Brush and floss every day
  • Don't use your teeth as tools or bite on hard objects.
  • If you grind your teeth at night, protect your veneers with a custom nightguard.
  • Schedule regular check-ups to let our dentists monitor your veneers and make sure they remain pristine.
