What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored restorations made from durable porcelain. Veneers are commonly applied to the upper front teeth for a uniform and aesthetic smile. Each veneer is custom-designed to fit a specific tooth. Veneers effectively cover cosmetic imperfections, including chips, cracks, stains, and minor gaps.

Getting Dental Veneers

The veneers process starts with a consultation to discuss your smile goals and options. If veneers are the right aesthetic solution for you, Dr. Khoury will create a plan where custom veneers help to enhance your smile's shape, alignment, and color. 


This treatment process will require about two appointments. We'll begin by preparing your teeth by reducing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers to fit over the front of your teeth. Then we'll take impressions of your teeth for the lab to use as they handcraft each veneer. Once your veneers are ready, you'll return to our office for Dr. Khoury to install each one. He will check the fit and appearance of each veneer before bonding them to your teeth using a special dental adhesive. You'll enjoy a refreshed, confident smile immediately after the veneers are bonded.

The Benefits of Veneers vs. Crowns

While dental crowns and veneers can both improve the appearance of your teeth, there are some significant differences between the two. Crowns are typically used for more functional and rehabilitative purposes, such as when a tooth is severely damaged or broken. Crowns cover the entire tooth, providing support and protection to the underlying structure.


Veneers, on the other hand, are a more conservative aesthetic option, as they only cover the front of your teeth. Unlike crowns, veneers are only placed on healthy, structurally-sound teeth. They are specifically used to address cosmetic imperfections, such as small chips or stains in your enamel, and can even help to improve the shape and alignment of your teeth.

If you need a night guard, your dentist will take impressions or digital scans of your teeth and gums to craft a custom mold that will then be sent to the lab, where your night guard will be made to your exact specifications and measurements. Night guards ease tension in your jaw in order to alleviate the painful headaches and other uncomfortable or damaging side effects of clenching and grinding, so you can get more restful sleep and keep your smile healthy.

Aftercare for Dental Veneers

Veneers require the same daily care as natural teeth for lasting results. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential. We also recommend sleeping in a nightguard to protect your veneers from any chipping or wear. 


Veneers resist stains, but avoiding items like coffee and tea can help maintain their appearance. If you do enjoy these items, be sure to rinse your mouth with water afterward or even consider drinking through a straw to minimize the risk of stains on your teeth.
