What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. Made from porcelain or composite resin, they are crafted to match the natural color of your teeth. Veneers provide an effective way to correct dental imperfections and achieve an unforgettable smile.
Types of Veneers: Prep vs. No-Prep
Prep Veneers
Prep veneers involve a preparation of the tooth surface. This process includes removing a small amount of tooth enamel to ensure a proper fit and natural look. Prep veneers are ideal for addressing significant cosmetic issues, such as deep discoloration or uneven teeth.
No-Prep Veneers
No-prep veneers require minimal to no alteration of the natural tooth. They are incredibly thin and are bonded directly onto the tooth surface. This option is excellent for those who prefer a less invasive approach and have minor cosmetic corrections.
What Do Veneers Treat?
Veneers are a versatile solution, ideal for treating a variety of dental concerns:
- Discoloration: Corrects teeth stained from coffee, tea, smoking, or medication.
- Wear and Tear: Restores worn down teeth due to grinding or age.
- Chips and Cracks: Covers minor chips and cracks, enhancing the tooth's appearance.
- Gaps: Bridges small gaps between teeth for a more uniform smile.
- Unevenness: Aligns uneven or irregularly shaped teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by altering their shape, color, size, or length.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers may last around 5 to 7 years. The lifespan can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene, habits, and the material used.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a permanent dental procedure since they involve the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel to accommodate the veneer. Once placed, they cannot be reversed.
What is the difference between prep and no-prep veneers?
Prep veneers require the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance. No-prep veneers are thinner and can often be placed directly over the existing tooth surface without significant alteration of the natural tooth.
Can veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining compared to natural teeth. However, composite resin veneers are more prone to staining over time. Proper care and regular dental checkups can help maintain their appearance.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
When applied by an experienced dentist, veneers should not damage your natural teeth. A small amount of enamel is removed for prep veneers, but this is typically not harmful to the overall health of the tooth.
How do I care for my veneers?
Caring for veneers involves the same good oral hygiene practices as for natural teeth: brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and visiting your dentist for routine checkups and cleanings.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans consider veneers a cosmetic procedure and do not cover the cost. However, it's always best to check with your specific insurance provider.
How much do veneers cost?
The cost of veneers varies depending on factors like the type of veneer, the number of veneers needed, and the complexity of the case. Your dentist can provide a more accurate cost estimate based on your specific situation.
