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. Composite bonding is quicker and cheaper per tooth; porcelain holds up longer and mimics natural enamel more convincingly.
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.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Grinding at night is a common reason veneers chip early, so a nightguard is often recommended alongside the procedure.
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.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. 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.
Shape and shade are customized so the result looks deliberate, not uniformly artificial. A shade guide and sometimes a trial smile help confirm the choice before the final shells are made.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
The longer-lasting option, resistant to staining and closer to natural enamel translucency.
Sculpted and bonded directly to the tooth in a single visit, at lower cost than porcelain.
Several front teeth veneered together for a coordinated, symmetrical result.
Ultra-thin shells requiring little to no enamel reduction for qualifying cases.

Because enamel is prepped away, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare.
A decade or more is typical, though grinding habits can shorten that.
A preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade before the final result is made.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the process itself generally isn't painful.
Veneers cover just the front surface; crowns encase the entire visible tooth.
Pricing depends on how many teeth are involved, confirmed at your consultation.
