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.
A small amount of enamel prep is typical, which is part of why the process is considered permanent. 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.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before prep work or lab fabrication begins. Adjustments to the mock-up happen before any permanent work, not after.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal. Whether you qualify depends on your existing tooth shape and alignment, assessed at consultation.
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.

"Was honest that the closest office was full and got me into a nearby one instead of leaving me stuck."
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.
Some mild sensitivity afterward is possible, but prep and bonding are done comfortably numbed.
