What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin sheets of dental ceramic that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to alter their shape, color, size, and positioning. Veneers cover or conceal many kinds of imperfections in your smile, including these:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Stains that don’t respond to professional whitening
- Small teeth
- Slight misalignments in the teeth
When veneers are applied, these flaws immediately vanish, showing only a stunning smile that stands out in the best possible way.
The Benefits of Veneers
Because of the porcelain material used for veneers, they have many advantages, namely the following:
- They look completely natural – Because veneers reflect light just like enamel, no one will be able to tell that they’re there.
- They are durable – Veneers can handle the normal wear and tear you put them through.
- They are stain-resistant – In fact, they are better at repelling stains than tooth enamel.
- They are versatile – They can correct several kinds of flaws simultaneously.
- They are biocompatible – Veneers shouldn’t irritate your gums and should feel perfectly comfortable in your mouth.
How Are Veneers Placed?
After you and Dr. Whitaker have determined that veneers are a good fit for you, the process of placing them goes as follows:
- She will remove a small part of your teeth’s enamel to make room for the veneers.
- We will then take impressions of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental lab and used to create your custom veneers.
- Before you leave, Dr. Whitaker will adhere temporary veneers to your teeth.
- When the final products are ready, you’ll return to our office so she can place the final veneers, instantly improving the appearance of your smile.
In as few as two simple appointments, you could have the smile you’ve always wanted!

Veneer FAQs
Will I still be able to drink coffee with veneers?
Yes! Since porcelain is stain-resistant, you’ll be able to drink your morning or afternoon cup of coffee without worrying. That said, some of your teeth may not be covered by veneers, so they can still discolor. To prevent that from happening, we recommend using a straw, drinking water in tandem with your coffee, and brushing your teeth about 20 minutes after you’re done.
How many veneers will I need?
Do you have one noticeably chipped tooth? If so, you may only need one veneer to achieve the balanced, beautiful smile you desire. If, on the other hand, you are unhappy with your smile because of significant discoloration, gaps, and stains, then 10 or more may be needed. Ultimately, this is something that you and our talented cosmetic dentist, Dr. Whitaker, need to discuss at your consultation. Once she learns all about your dental needs and aesthetic goals, she can make a recommendation.
Is it painful to get veneers?
Thanks to powerful numbing agents, you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during your time in the treatment chair. We’ll also provide you with aftercare instructions to help prevent bonding sensitivity when you get home, like avoiding hot/cold stimuli and taking OTC pain medication as directed.
Can insurance cover veneers?
Typically, dental insurance providers don’t cover the cost of veneers and other cosmetic dental procedures since they aren’t considered “medically necessary.” That said, there are some exceptions. If, for example, you’re at an increased risk of decay because the seal holding the old veneer in place has deteriorated, they might cover a portion of the cost. So, it’s definitely worth taking a look at the fine print on your plan to get familiar with your benefits!
