Porcelain & Composite Veneers

Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a lab and bonded to teeth, offering superior aesthetics, stain resistance, and longevity (15-20+ years). Composite veneers are applied directly and can often be done in one visit, making them more affordable but less durable (5-7 years).

Traditional porcelain veneers require minimal tooth reduction (about 0.3-0.7mm), which is less than a fingernail. No-prep options like Lumineers preserve all your natural tooth structure. When done correctly by an experienced dentist, veneers are a safe, conservative treatment.

Composite veneers can often be completed in a single 1-2 hour visit. Porcelain veneers typically require 2-3 appointments: consultation, tooth preparation and impressions, and final bonding. You'll leave with temporary veneers while your custom ones are crafted.

Porcelain veneers are considered permanent because some enamel is removed. However, they can be replaced if damaged. No-prep veneers may be reversible. We'll discuss the best option for your situation during your consultation.
