What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom restorations that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They are designed to improve tooth color, shape, size or symmetry while still looking natural with the rest of your smile.
Veneers may be a good choice for patients who want to correct cosmetic concerns that do not require major restorative treatment. Because veneers are customized for your smile, our team carefully plans their shade, shape and fit before placement.
Our goal is to help your veneers blend with your facial features and support a smile that feels confident, healthy and natural.
Common Reasons Patients Choose Veneers
Patients often choose dental veneers when they want to improve visible teeth that affect the look of their smile. Veneers can address several cosmetic concerns with one treatment plan.
Dental veneers may help improve the appearance of:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Small chips or worn edges
- Uneven tooth shape
- Minor gaps between teeth
- Teeth that look too small
- A smile that appears unbalanced
If you are unsure whether veneers are the best choice, our dentists can explain your cosmetic options and help you compare possible solutions.
What to Expect During the Veneer Process
Your veneer treatment begins with a consultation. Our team will talk with you about your smile goals, examine your teeth and discuss what veneers can realistically achieve. We may also review photos, shade options or related treatment needs before creating your plan.
When veneers are recommended, a small amount of enamel may be adjusted so the veneers can fit properly and look natural. Impressions or digital records are then taken to help create your custom veneers.
Once your veneers are ready, our team will check their fit, shape and color before bonding them in place. We will also review how to care for your veneers so you can keep your smile looking its best.
