Chips, gaps, and uneven edges don't have to mean years of orthodontics — veneers can address the appearance directly. Smile Center Dentistry previews your result digitally before any enamel is touched.
Veneers are permanent once enamel is removed, so we make sure you approve the design first. Proportions that work on a screen don't always translate — we check the design against your actual face and smile line.
We adjust shape and shade digitally until you approve it, not after the veneers are already made. We walk through the mockup together, not just email you a file to review alone.
Not every case needs aggressive tooth reduction — we explain what your specific teeth actually require. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
We walk through the durability, cost, and appearance trade-offs between porcelain and composite before you choose. Neither material is universally 'better' — the right choice depends on your goals and budget.
We don't consider the case finished until the fit and color are right, not just acceptable. We'd rather remake one veneer than have you live with a mismatch.
The right material and number of veneers depend on what you're trying to correct.
Thin, durable porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth for a long-lasting, stain-resistant result. Typically requires two visits: prep and impressions, then bonding.
A more affordable, reversible option for patients who want results without committing to porcelain. We explain the shorter lifespan honestly compared to porcelain.
This step lets you request adjustments — length, shape, brightness — before we touch your teeth. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
A chipped or discolored single tooth can often be addressed with one veneer rather than a full smile case. Ideal for isolated damage rather than an overall smile makeover.
A full-arch case gets extra planning time to ensure every veneer works together, not just individually. We stage complex cases in phases when that better serves the outcome.
We'll tell you if bonding could accomplish your goal at a lower cost before recommending veneers. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.
We ask what you'd like to change about your smile when you book, so the consult is focused.
You approve shape and shade before any tooth preparation happens.
Minimal tooth preparation, followed by impressions or a digital scan sent to the lab.
Your finished veneers are bonded and checked for fit, bite, and shade match.
"The digital mockup let me request a slightly different shape before they touched my teeth. Ended up exactly how I pictured it."
"Went with composite for budget reasons and they were upfront that it wouldn't last as long as porcelain. No pressure to upgrade."
"Full smile makeover took a few visits but they staged it so I wasn't without teeth at any point."
"Minimal-prep option kept more of my natural tooth intact, which mattered to me."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care; composite usually needs replacement sooner, around 5 to 7 years. A nightguard can extend lifespan significantly for patients who grind their teeth.
Tooth preparation is done with local anesthesia when needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Any mild sensitivity afterward typically resolves within a few days.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. This step exists specifically so nothing is a surprise once we start.
We walk through both honestly so you choose based on your budget and timeline, not upselling. Both can look excellent — the difference is mostly longevity and cost.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve most of your enamel; traditional porcelain requires some reduction, which we explain case by case. Enamel removed for veneers doesn't grow back, which is why we're careful about how much we take.
We break down per-tooth cost clearly so you can decide how many veneers fit your budget. We'd rather you understand the full cost before starting than be surprised partway through.
