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.
Getting veneers usually means a thin layer of enamel is removed first, so the shell sits flush instead of bulky. Most patients see a preview before committing, so there are no surprises with the final look.
Veneers won't stop new decay from forming on the rest of the tooth, so routine cleanings still matter just as much afterward. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect new veneers from chipping.
You approve shape and shade digitally before the lab makes the final porcelain shells. Adjustments to the mock-up happen before any permanent work, not after.
Long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding, depending on budget and timeline. Cost, longevity, and turnaround time are laid out side by side before you decide.
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.

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.
Some mild sensitivity afterward is possible, but prep and bonding are done comfortably numbed.
Crowns suit more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface fix.
