What Are Dental Veneers?
According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a veneer is a thin piece of porcelain used to re-create the natural look of teeth while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural enamel. These ultra-thin shells are custom-made to the contour of your teeth and bonded during a series of in-office procedures.
Veneers are perfect for patients with:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mildly crooked or misshapen teeth
They're a less invasive option compared to crowns or braces and can dramatically enhance your smile in just a few visits.
Porcelain Veneers vs. Other Options
The most common types of veneers are:
- Porcelain veneers – Highly durable and stain-resistant, lasting 10–20 years
- Lumineers – Thinner and often require less enamel removal
- Composite resin veneers – More affordable but less durable over time
Porcelain veneers are typically recommended for long-term results in both shape and color enhancement.
Placing Veneers: What to Expect
The veneer process typically takes two appointments:
- Tooth Preparation & Temporary Veneers
Your dentist will clean your teeth, determine the shade, and remove a small layer of enamel (often without anesthesia). A mold is taken and sent to a lab, and temporary veneers are placed. - Final Placement
When your porcelain veneers are ready, we remove the temporaries, clean and etch the tooth surface, and use dental cement to bond the veneer in place. We then cure the veneer with light and polish the edges.
Many patients return for a follow-up visit to ensure proper comfort and bite.
How Veneers Compare to Crowns
Veneers and crowns serve different purposes:
- Veneers are cosmetic and cover only the front surface of the tooth
- Crowns cover the entire tooth and are often used after root canals or major damage
If you're unsure which is right for you, our restorative and cosmetic dentistry team will guide you through your options.
