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. A digital or physical mock-up shows the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated.
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.
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.
Long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding, depending on budget and timeline. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve more natural tooth structure when your case allows it. Whether you qualify depends on your existing tooth shape and alignment, assessed at consultation.
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.

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.
Modern porcelain mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an obviously artificial look.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the process itself generally isn't painful.
