What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin materials that cover the front surface of your teeth. They’re designed to conceal imperfections and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant, while composite resin veneers are more affordable and quicker to apply. With a thickness comparable to a fingernail—about one millimeter—veneers offer a minimally invasive solution to various dental concerns, including:
- Uneven or undersized teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Deeply discolored or stained teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth lacking enamel
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are an excellent cosmetic dentistry solution for several reasons:
- Quick Completion: Achieved in as few as two appointments.
- Stain Resistance: Veneers are designed to be stain-resistant, but maintaining proper dental hygiene is necessary to keep them looking their best.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires only minimal alteration to your natural tooth structure.
- Easy Maintenance: Simple to care for with regular brushing and flossing.
- Customizable: Tailored to your desired shade for a whiter smile.
- Durability: Can last up to 15 years with proper care.
The Dental Veneers Process
The journey to a renewed smile with veneers is straightforward and typically involves only two short visits:
- Initial Consultation and Preparation: During your first visit, Dr. Kreimer will take detailed impressions of your teeth and slightly reshape their surfaces to ensure a perfect fit for your veneers. This step requires the removal of a small amount of enamel, so it’s important to note that the procedure is irreversible. Tooth preparation involves removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a perfect fit for the veneers.
- Placement of Veneers: In your follow-up appointment, Dr. Kreimer will place the customized veneers on your teeth. Patients initially wear temporary veneers before the final application of permanent veneers. After ensuring they fit correctly and meet your aesthetic goals, the veneers will be bonded using a special adhesive and hardened with a light. You’ll leave our office with a radiant, new smile.
No-prep veneers are also available as a less invasive alternative that requires minimal preparation.
Aftercare for Dental Veneers
Proper care is crucial to maintaining the longevity of your veneers and keeping your smile at its best. Here are some essential aftercare tips:
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep your teeth and veneers clean.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Steer clear of biting into hard foods to prevent potential damage.
- Wear a Mouthguard: Use a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or participate in contact sports.
- Don’t Use Teeth as Tools: Avoid using your teeth to open packages or for other non-eating purposes.
- Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular check-ups to monitor the condition of your veneers and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the potential risks and complications?
While veneers are a safe and effective procedure, it’s essential to mention that there may be some risks or complications associated with the procedure. Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity after getting veneers, while others may develop gum inflammation or bleeding. It’s essential to discuss any concerns with your cosmetic dentist before undergoing the procedure. Additionally, dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic dentistry procedure that can be combined with veneers to enhance your smile.
How much do dental veneers cost?
The cost of dental veneers varies depending on several factors, such as the number of veneers needed, the type of material used, and your location. For instance, the cost can vary depending on the type of veneer, such as porcelain or composite resin veneers. Composite resin veneers are often more affordable and quicker to apply compared to porcelain veneers, but they may require patients to avoid certain foods to prevent discoloration, and their lifespan is generally shorter. It’s essential to discuss the cost with our team during your consultation.
Will dental veneers feel different than my natural teeth?
It may take a few days to get used to the feeling of your new veneers, but they should feel similar to your natural teeth over time. Veneers are designed to match the shade and appearance of natural tooth enamel, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your real teeth. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, but this typically subsides within a few days.
How many veneers do I need?
The number of veneers you need will depend on your needs and goals for your smile. Some patients may only require a single veneer to fix a chipped or discolored tooth, while others may need several veneers to achieve a more uniform look. Veneers can correct various tooth imperfections, including misshapen teeth and deeply discolored teeth, providing a natural-looking smile. Your dentist can help determine the best course of treatment for you.
