Veneers

What Veneers Can Fix

Thin shells bonded to the front of teeth treat problems that whitening or braces may not resolve. We use veneers to cover chips, deep stains, uneven tooth shape, and small gaps that bother people visually. For mild crowding or rotated teeth, veneers can create a straighter appearance without removing healthy enamel beyond what’s necessary. We check bite function and existing restorations before recommending a plan. Our goal: improve color and shape while protecting tooth structure and preserving a natural look that fits your face.

How We Create A Natural Look

We combine artistry and digital planning to match shape, color, and translucency. Using the iTero Digital Scanner and digital impressions, we map your smile and design restorations that blend with neighboring teeth.

• Digital scan captures precise shape for a better fit. • Shade matching uses natural light and layered porcelain techniques. • Temporary options let you try shape and feel before final placement.

This process helps us produce results that look like your natural teeth, not a uniform mask.

What To Expect During Treatment

Your visit sequence depends on the plan we design with you. Many patients complete veneer work in two visits; in some cases, we can provide same-day treatments. During the first visit we perform a focused exam, take digital X-rays, and make impressions. We prepare teeth conservatively and place temporaries if needed. Final bonding occurs once you and the dentist approve color and shape. We offer oral conscious sedation for patients who prefer extra relaxation, and our TVs and Netflix help time pass pleasantly.

• Visit 1: Consultation, scans, and mockups • Visit 2: Preparation, bonding, temporaries, and final adjustments (timing varies)

Expect clear timelines, photos of proposed outcomes, and direct input from Dr. Nicole Furuta or Dr. Lindsay Fox before any irreversible steps.

Caring For Your New Smile

After placement, care resembles the routine you already know: brushing twice daily with a soft toothbrush, flossing, and regular checkups. Avoid hard, sticky foods for a short period while adhesives cure fully. If you grind teeth, we recommend a custom mouthguard to protect veneers from wear. If staining concerns return, porcelain veneers resist color better than composite, though maintenance matters. Keep appointments for dental exams and digital X-rays so we can monitor margin integrity and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Practical Questions

• How long do veneers last? Lifespan depends on oral habits, but routine care and protection against grinding help extend service life. • Will they feel different? A short adjustment period is normal; most patients report natural feel within days. • Can I test a look first? Yes — we provide mockups and temporary veneers so you can preview changes and request refinements.

These answers come from our clinical process and patient conversations. We focus on transparency, so you leave with clear next steps and realistic expectations.
