A veneer is a thin shell — usually porcelain, sometimes composite resin — bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct its shape, size, or color. Porcelain veneers resist staining better and last longer, typically ten to fifteen years, while composite veneers cost less and can be completed in a single visit.
A thin layer of enamel is typically prepped off before bonding, which is why the process is considered permanent rather than reversible. A same-visit digital mock-up shows you the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated in a lab.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect the new veneers from chipping.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before any enamel is prepped or veneers ordered.
Choose long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding depending on budget and timeline.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal.
Veneers are shade-matched to your natural teeth or your desired brighter target shade.

Since a thin layer of enamel is typically removed to fit them, veneers are considered a permanent, irreversible procedure.
With good hygiene, porcelain veneers commonly last ten to fifteen years before needing replacement.
A digital preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade so the result looks intentional rather than obviously fake.
Some mild sensitivity is possible afterward, but the prep and bonding process is done comfortably numbed.
Veneers cover just the front surface of a tooth, while crowns encase the entire visible tooth structure.
Pricing depends on the number of teeth involved and material choice, confirmed during your consultation.
