What are veneers used for?
Veneers are a great solution for a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Teeth that are misshapen or crooked
- Discoloration or staining on teeth that cannot be corrected with whitening
- Worn down or chipped teeth
This is because they cover these imperfections on the front of the tooth or teeth.
What types of veneers are available?
Our team is pleased to offer a variety of veneers for patient consideration, including:
- Porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular options for many of our patients as they are long-lasting, natural-looking, and easy to care for. They provide coverage that can last many years before they need to be replaced and mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel.
- Composite veneers. Using composite resin, our team can cover issues such as spacing between teeth or discoloration on the tooth’s surface. Composite is not stain-resistant, so it may need to be replaced more than porcelain veneers.
- Prepless veneers. Alternatively, some patients might choose our prepless veneers. These do not require a thin layer of enamel to be filed off the front of the tooth, allowing patients to reverse the procedure in the future if they choose. These are great solutions for patients who want to try veneers first before investing in porcelain ones.

Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
