Veneers offer one of the best cosmetic dentistry options for people wanting to improve their smile. With veneers, you can whiten your teeth beyond what bleaching can accomplish. Veneers can also be used to align or straighten crooked teeth or to eliminate spaces between the teeth. Veneers also reflect light and have a luster like enamel. However, unlike bleaching, tooth contouring and reshaping, and dental bonding, veneers are a lifetime commitment.

Veneers are very thin slices of porcelain or composite that are custom made for each tooth.
First, a half millimeter of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth. The tooth is then "roughed up" using phosphoric acid. Resin cement and the veneer are then applied to the tooth. The procedure takes at least two visits.
Plastic Veneers usually last 3-6 years. Porcelain veneers last 10-15 years or more.
Porcelain veneers can cost between $900 and $2000 per tooth. Plastic veneers cost approximately $300 per tooth.
We also offer Lumineers, which are "no prep" veneers. Lumineers are contact lens-thin veneers which are placed over existing teeth without the need to remove any tooth structure. Lumineers can be a wonderful conservative treatment option for certain smiles. Ask us if Lumineers can improve your smile!
