Understanding Veneers
Veneers represent one of the most versatile and effective cosmetic dental solutions available today. Unlike other cosmetic procedures that may require significant tooth reduction or multiple appointments, veneers offer a conservative approach that preserves much of your natural tooth structure while delivering dramatic results.
Modern dental veneers are crafted from high-quality porcelain material that mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. This ensures your smile looks authentic rather than artificial, with each veneer carefully color-matched and shaped to complement your facial features and existing teeth. Whether addressing a single problematic tooth or completely reimagining your smile, veneers provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Benefits of Veneers
Our Veneers Process
Personalized Smile Architecture
At your initial consultation, Dr. Colaizy analyzes your facial proportions, lip dynamics, and smile characteristics to design dental veneers that complement your unique features. We capture detailed measurements and photographs to create a comprehensive blueprint for your veneer treatment. This personalized approach ensures your porcelain veneers enhance your natural beauty while addressing specific concerns like tooth discoloration, chips, or spacing issues.
High-Definition Material Selection
We utilize advanced dental materials technology to select the ideal porcelain for your specific veneer needs. Different ceramic systems offer varying benefits in terms of strength, translucency, and color stability. We evaluate factors like your existing tooth shade, desired appearance, and lifestyle habits to determine which veneer material will provide optimal results.
Digital Blueprint Creation
Using specialized 3D imaging technology, we create a precise digital model of your teeth that serves as the foundation for your veneer treatment plan. This detailed virtual blueprint allows us to design each aspect of your porcelain veneers with remarkable precision. The digital veneer planning process enables you to preview potential outcomes and provide input before any permanent changes are made.

FAQs
How long do veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, veneers typically last between 10-15 years, though many patients enjoy their veneers for 20 years or more. The longevity of your veneers depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and whether you have habits like teeth grinding or using your teeth as tools. Regular dental check-ups allow us to monitor your veneers and address any minor issues before they compromise the lifespan of your restoration.
Are veneers bad for your teeth?
Veneers are not inherently harmful to your teeth when properly placed by an experienced dentist. The procedure does require removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of the tooth to ensure proper fit and natural appearance. This enamel removal is permanent, which is why veneers are considered an irreversible treatment. However, the protection and structural support that veneers provide can actually help preserve teeth that are weakened by chips or cracks.
Do veneers hurt?
The veneer process is typically very comfortable, with most patients experiencing minimal to no discomfort. During the preparation appointment, we use local anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel any sensation while a small amount of enamel is removed. Some patients may experience minor sensitivity after the preparation phase, but this is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can you whiten veneers?
Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers cannot be whitened once they are placed. The porcelain material is non-porous and resistant to staining, which helps maintain their color over time, but also means they don’t respond to whitening treatments. If you’re considering teeth whitening, we recommend completing this treatment before getting veneers so that we can match your veneers to your preferred tooth shade. If your natural teeth darken over time while your veneers remain the same shade, professional cleaning can often bring your natural teeth back to a better match.
Can you eat with veneers?
Yes, you can eat normally with veneers, and there’s no special diet required once they’re permanently bonded to your teeth. After the initial placement, we recommend avoiding very hard foods and being cautious with extremely sticky foods that could potentially dislodge a veneer. With proper care, veneers function just like natural teeth during meals. Most patients adapt quickly to their veneers and find they can enjoy their favorite foods without concern, though we do advise being mindful of habits like biting fingernails or opening packages with your teeth.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining due to their non-porous, glass-like surface that prevents stain-causing particles from penetrating the material. This stain resistance is one of the major advantages of choosing porcelain veneers over alternatives like dental bonding. However, the edges where the veneer meets your natural tooth can potentially discolor over time, especially if you consume foods and beverages high in pigmentation like coffee, red wine, and berries. Regular dental cleanings help maintain the pristine appearance of your veneers by addressing any surface stains before they become noticeable.
