Porcelain veneers are strong, custom-crafted covers that are bonded to the surface of teeth, giving them a healthy and natural appearance. Veneers are commonly used to repair chipped, decayed, or stained teeth, reshape teeth, and close gaps. They can also be an alternative to crowns for patients seeking a simple cosmetic restoration. The preparation for veneers involves minimal enamel removal, making it a less invasive procedure than a typical filling.

Same-Day Veneer Treatment
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Before starting the process, we’d like to understand your goals for improving your teeth. This ensures that veneers are the best option for you and will help you achieve your desired smile. We may recommend a treatment plan before placing veneers to ensure your gums are healthy and provide a solid foundation for the veneers.
Preparing Your Teeth
To accommodate the veneer, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of your tooth. The area is numbed before we begin, and the amount of enamel removed is minimal. We then take a highly accurate digital scan of your treated tooth or teeth, eliminating the need for messy impressions or large trays.
Creating and Placing Veneers
The 3D scan is used to create a digital model of your veneers, which are then milled on-site in our specialized machine. For one or two veneers, this entire process can be completed in a single appointment. Your new veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth.

Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains from foods and beverages, making them a great option for maintaining a bright, white smile. However, it’s still important to practice good oral hygiene and avoid excessive consumption of staining substances to keep your veneers looking their best.
The veneer procedure is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area while the dentist prepares your teeth and applies the veneers. You may experience some mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days.
While veneers can be replaced if needed, the procedure is not reversible.
