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. Before committing, most patients see a preview — either digital or a temporary trial veneer — 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 and exams still matter just as much afterward. Grinding at night is one of the more common reasons veneers chip early, so a nightguard is often recommended alongside the procedure.
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.
Shape and shade are customized so veneers look intentional, not artificially uniform.

Because enamel is prepped away for a proper fit, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare afterward.
Lifespan varies by habits like grinding, but a decade or more is typical for porcelain.
A digital preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade so the result looks intentional rather than obviously fake.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is generally not painful.
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.
