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.
A rushed veneer case is how patients end up with a smile that doesn't match their face. Proportions that work on a screen don't always translate — we check the design against your actual face and smile line.
You'll see a mockup of your projected smile before we prep a single tooth, so there are no surprises. Adjustments at the mockup stage cost nothing; changes after fabrication are a different story.
When your case allows it, we use minimal-prep veneers that preserve more of your natural enamel. Preserving enamel matters for long-term tooth health, not just for this procedure.
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. Shade matching is checked in natural light, not just under the exam lamp.
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 tooth-colored resin is sculpted directly onto your teeth, often completed in a single visit. 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 create a digital mockup of your projected result for you to review and adjust.
Temporary veneers are placed while your custom ones are fabricated.
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."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Porcelain veneers three years in and they still look like the day I got them."
"They adjusted the shade twice until it matched exactly what I wanted, no extra charge."
"Asked about bonding first since I only had one chipped tooth and they said it would work fine — saved me money over a full veneer."
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care; composite usually needs replacement sooner, around 5 to 7 years. We'll recommend the material likely to hold up best for your specific habits.
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. We can adjust the mockup as many times as needed until you're satisfied.
Porcelain is more durable and stain-resistant but costs more and takes longer; composite is faster and cheaper but wears sooner. Composite can be touched up over time; porcelain generally can't be repaired the same way.
Composite veneers can sometimes be applied with little to no enamel removal at all. We always aim for the most conservative approach that still achieves your goal.
Cost depends on material and how many teeth are involved — we give a specific quote after your design consult. Financing options are available for larger cases.
