What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are commonly made from porcelain and are designed to resemble the color and translucency of natural tooth enamel.
Because each veneer is created for the individual tooth, treatment can be customized to complement your surrounding teeth and facial features. Veneers can be used to improve one tooth or several teeth depending on your smile goals.
What Can Dental Veneers Improve?
Dental veneers can address several cosmetic concerns that affect the appearance of your smile. They may be used to:
- Close or reduce visible gaps between teeth
- Improve the appearance of misshapen or uneven teeth
- Improve the appearance of slightly crooked teeth
- Cover chips, fractures or worn areas
- Improve the appearance of deeply stained or discolored teeth
- Create a more balanced and uniform-looking smile
Veneers are primarily a cosmetic treatment, so our dentist will first evaluate the health and condition of your teeth before recommending them.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are popular because they can create noticeable cosmetic improvements while maintaining a natural appearance. Benefits may include:
- A customized shape, size and shade
- A natural-looking appearance
- Resistance to many common surface stains
- The ability to address several cosmetic concerns at once
- A durable cosmetic solution when properly cared for
Our goal is to create a result that enhances your smile without making your teeth look unnatural or overly uniform.
What Is the Dental Veneer Process?
Dental veneer treatment typically takes place over two appointments. During your first visit, our dentist will evaluate your smile, discuss the appearance you want to achieve and prepare the teeth that will receive veneers. Impressions or other records are then used to create veneers that are customized for your smile. You will also work with our team to select a shade that complements your natural teeth and desired result.
At your second appointment, Dr. Carreon will check the fit, shape and appearance of your veneers before bonding them securely to the front surfaces of your teeth.
Dental Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Treatments
Dental veneers are one of several ways to improve the appearance of a smile. Depending on your concerns, another treatment may better match your needs.
For example, professional teeth whitening may be considered when discoloration is the primary concern, while Invisalign® or Six Month Smiles may be used when tooth alignment is the main issue.
Dr. Carreon can explain your options and help you compare treatments based on the changes you want to make to your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers
What are dental veneers made of?
Dental veneers are commonly made from porcelain. Porcelain can be shaped and shaded to resemble natural tooth enamel and is often selected for its durability and natural-looking appearance.
What cosmetic problems can veneers fix?
Veneers may improve the appearance of chipped, worn, misshapen, slightly crooked, unevenly spaced or deeply discolored teeth. Dr. Carreon can evaluate your smile and explain which concerns can be addressed with veneers.
How many appointments are needed for dental veneers?
Dental veneers typically require two appointments. The first visit is used to plan treatment, prepare the teeth and gather the information needed to create the veneers. At the second visit, the veneers are checked and bonded to the teeth.
Do dental veneers look natural?
Veneers are designed to blend with your natural smile. Their shape, size and shade can be customized to complement your surrounding teeth and create a balanced appearance.
Can dental veneers cover stained teeth?
Yes. Veneers may be used to improve the appearance of teeth with significant discoloration, especially when whitening alone may not produce the desired cosmetic result.
Are veneers the same as crowns?
No. Veneers primarily cover the front surface of a tooth and are generally used for cosmetic improvements. Crowns cover more of the tooth and are commonly used when additional structural restoration is needed.
How do I know whether veneers or Invisalign is better for my smile?
The answer depends on what you want to change. Veneers can improve tooth shape, color and certain minor alignment concerns, while Invisalign clear aligners are designed to gradually move teeth. Dr. Carreon can compare both options during your consultation.
