Wondering if veneers are your best option? Here's how they compare to alternatives you might be considering.
Professional whitening works for surface stains but can't fix chips, gaps, or shape issues. Choose veneers when you need comprehensive transformation beyond just color improvement.
Invisalign takes 12-18 months to straighten teeth but doesn't address stains or damage. Veneers give you straight-looking, perfectly colored teeth in just two visits.
Crowns require removing significant tooth structure. Veneers are minimally invasive while providing dramatic cosmetic improvements for structurally sound teeth.
You've tried other treatments but still aren't happy with your smile. Veneers might be the right solution if you're experiencing any of these common concerns:
If you're tired of feeling self-conscious about your teeth and want a permanent solution that works immediately, it's time to consider veneers.

Our custom-crafted veneers are designed to match your facial features, skin tone, and natural tooth characteristics including color, shape, size, and translucency. Using digital smile design technology, we ensure your veneers look so natural that people will think you were born with perfect teeth.
eMax veneers are made from lithium disilicate ceramic, offering superior strength and durability while requiring less tooth reduction. Traditional porcelain veneers provide excellent aesthetics and have a longer track record. During your consultation, we'll examine your specific case and recommend the material that best meets your needs for strength, appearance, and longevity.
We use digital smile design and temporary veneers to ensure you love your results before final placement. During the temporary phase, we can make adjustments to shape, size, and color. Once permanent veneers are bonded, changes require creating new veneers, which is why we take great care in the design phase to ensure your complete satisfaction.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during veneer placement. We use local anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable during tooth preparation, and many patients report the process is easier than expected. We also offer sedation options including laughing gas and oral sedation for anxious patients.
The number depends on your smile goals and how many teeth show when you smile and talk. Most patients get 6-8 veneers on their upper teeth for a complete smile makeover, though some choose 4 veneers for just their front teeth or 10-12 for a more comprehensive transformation including lower teeth.
Most veneer treatments require 2-3 appointments over 2-3 weeks. Your first visit includes consultation and tooth preparation, the second involves trying in your temporary veneers, and the final appointment is for permanent veneer placement. Complex cases may require additional visits.
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers typically last 15-20 years or longer, while eMax lithium disilicate veneers can last even longer due to their superior strength. Many patients enjoy their veneers for decades with regular dental visits and good oral hygiene.
Care for veneers just like natural teeth with regular brushing using non-abrasive toothpaste, daily flossing, and routine dental check-ups every six months. Avoid grinding or clenching your teeth, and consider a night guard if you have bruxism. With proper care, your veneers will maintain their beauty for decades.
Veneers themselves cannot be whitened with bleaching treatments since they're made of ceramic material. However, high-quality veneers are highly stain-resistant and maintain their color for many years. If staining occurs, professional cleaning can often restore their appearance, though severe discoloration may require veneer replacement.
Yes, you can enjoy most foods normally once your veneers are bonded. However, we recommend avoiding extremely hard foods like ice, nuts, or hard candy, and never use your teeth as tools to open packages. Your veneers are strong but should be treated with the same care as natural teeth.
Yes, veneers are considered a permanent restoration because we remove a thin layer of enamel (typically 0.5mm) from your natural teeth to ensure proper fit and appearance. While the veneers themselves can be replaced if needed, your teeth will always require some form of covering.
Since veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, they're typically not covered by dental insurance. However, we accept all PPO plans for any restorative portions and offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and Cherry, often with 0% interest options to make treatment affordable.
