Are veneers right for you?
A good fit if you have…
✓ Stains that whitening can't fix
✓ Chipped or worn edges
✓ Small gaps between teeth
✓ Teeth uneven in size or shape
Something else may work better if…
– Your teeth are crooked. Invisalign® may be an option.
– You only want them whiter. Try whitening first.
– It's one small chip. Bonding may be enough.
– You grind your teeth. We'll talk about whether veneers suit you and how to protect them.

Good to know
Do veneers damage my teeth?
Porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed. Composite often needs little or none.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are strong and long-lasting. Composite wears and stains more easily, but it's easier to repair.
Can veneers be whitened?
No. That's why we whiten your natural teeth first if you want a brighter shade.
“The staff are all so kind and gentle, very thorough in explaining what is going on, and helpful through payment.”

Paying for veneers
Veneers are cosmetic, so insurance usually doesn't cover them. Members save 10%, and HFD, Cherry or CareCredit can spread the cost.
Veneer questions
What's the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are made in a lab and resist stains well. Composite veneers are shaped in the chair and are easier to repair.
Can I see what my veneers will look like first?
Yes. For multiple veneers, we make temporary try-ins so you can see and feel your new smile before the finals.
Will my veneers look fake?
They're shaped and colored to suit your face and your other teeth. The try-in lets you give feedback before the finals.
Does insurance cover veneers?
Usually not, because they're cosmetic. Membership plan patients save 10%, and financing is available.
