An Investment in a Lifetime of Confidence
Porcelain veneers are strong, custom-formed, natural-looking covers bonded to the surface of your teeth, giving the appearance of perfectly healthy and natural teeth. Veneers are often used to repair chipped, decayed, or stained teeth, as well as to reshape teeth and close gaps.
For those who want to completely customize the look of their teeth and achieve their dream smile, dental veneers are the ideal treatment option.
Bring Out the Best of Your Smile with Veneers
Improving your smile can be achieved through various procedures, but veneers offer the opportunity to completely change and customize your smile with just one treatment.
- Closing Gaps: Veneers can close gaps in your smile line.
- Correcting Misalignment: They can correct slight misalignments or crookedness in your teeth.
- Evening Out Shape: Veneers can even out the shape of your teeth.
- Fixing Chips: They can repair unsightly chips.
- Combating Sensitivity: Veneers help reduce tooth sensitivity.
- Minimizing a Gummy Smile: They can minimize the appearance of a “gummy” smile.
- Achieving Desired Whiteness: Veneers allow you to achieve your desired shade of whiteness.
- Eliminating Stains: They can eliminate visible permanent stains in the enamel.
Veneers are placed for several reasons, including:
Complete Care: For a comprehensive smile overhaul, dental veneers may be the complete solution.
Longer Lasting: Veneers can be matched to your natural teeth or enhance the whiteness and brightness of your smile, lasting much longer than teeth whitening alone.
Less Invasive: Modern dental veneers require little to no removal of tooth material before bonding, making this procedure less invasive than crowns and preserving more of your natural tooth.
A Happier, More Confident You
Choosing veneers goes far beyond closing a gap in your smile line or achieving a “Hollywood” white smile. It’s a choice that allows you to enjoy confidence and happiness that radiates throughout all aspects of your life.
Think about the things you normally shy away from or dread due to insecurities about your smile. We’ll help you achieve your dream smile, so you can leap back into life and proudly show off your smile in any situation:

Getting Veneers Is Simple and Easy
Before we begin, we’d like to hear how and why you want to improve your teeth. This helps us ensure veneers are the best option to achieve your smile goals. We may recommend a treatment plan before proceeding with veneers to ensure your gums are healthy, providing a clean and stable foundation.
Preparing Your Teeth
To make space for your veneer, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of your tooth. We numb the area beforehand, and the amount of enamel removed is minimal. We then take an impression of your prepared tooth and its neighbors to ensure your veneers fit perfectly and blend seamlessly with your smile.
Creation and Placement
A temporary veneer is placed for your comfort while your permanent veneers are being created. Once the permanent veneers are ready, the temporary ones are removed, and the permanent veneers are bonded in place. After some finishing touches and a quick polish, your smile will be ready to dazzle.
Caring for Your Veneers
When you leave with your new veneers, you’ll receive detailed instructions on how to care for them. Your veneers will look and feel like natural teeth, and you should care for them accordingly. Brushing and flossing twice a day and routine cleanings and checkups are highly recommended. With proper care, your veneers can last ten years or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers, often referred to as “traditional” veneers, are durable, thin shells made of porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth and are highly resistant to stains, making them an excellent option for a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing smile.
The number of veneers you need is ultimately up to you and your aesthetic goals. Many people choose to get veneers on the teeth that are most visible when they smile. During your consultation, we can help you determine the best approach to achieve your desired smile.
Veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth and require the same care as your natural teeth. With regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups, your veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.
Caring for your veneers involves the same routine as caring for your natural teeth:
- Brush Twice Daily: Use a nonabrasive toothpaste to brush at least twice a day.
- Floss Daily: Floss at least once a day to remove plaque and food particles between your teeth.
- Rinse with Mouthwash: Use an antiseptic mouthwash once or twice a day.
- Avoid Sugary and Acidic Foods and Drinks: Especially avoid these after brushing and before bed.
- Routine Cleanings and Checkups: Schedule a cleaning and checkup every six months.
Following these steps will help maintain the longevity and appearance of your veneers.
