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.
Veneers are permanent once enamel is removed, so we make sure you approve the design first. 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.
Not every case needs aggressive tooth reduction — we explain what your specific teeth actually require. Preserving enamel matters for long-term tooth health, not just for this procedure.
Composite can often be done in a single visit; porcelain takes longer but resists staining better — we explain both honestly. 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.
Custom-shaded in a dental lab to match — or intentionally brighten — your natural smile. 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.
We use digital imaging to preview your projected smile shape and shade before any prep work begins. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
We match a single veneer carefully to your surrounding natural teeth so it doesn't stand out. 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.
For minor chips or gaps, cosmetic bonding can sometimes achieve a similar look without committing to a veneer. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.

You approve shape and shade before any tooth preparation happens.
Minimal tooth preparation, followed by impressions or a digital scan sent to the lab.
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."
"Went with composite for budget reasons and they were upfront that it wouldn't last as long as porcelain. No pressure to upgrade."
"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."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care; composite usually needs replacement sooner, around 5 to 7 years. A nightguard can extend lifespan significantly for patients who grind their teeth.
Tooth preparation is done with local anesthesia when needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort. We check comfort throughout the procedure rather than assuming it's fine.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. This step exists specifically so nothing is a surprise once we start.
Porcelain is more durable and stain-resistant but costs more and takes longer; composite is faster and cheaper but wears sooner. Both can look excellent — the difference is mostly longevity and cost.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve most of your enamel; traditional porcelain requires some reduction, which we explain case by case. We always aim for the most conservative approach that still achieves your goal.
We break down per-tooth cost clearly so you can decide how many veneers fit your budget. We'd rather you understand the full cost before starting than be surprised partway through.
