What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells—usually made from porcelain or composite resin—designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are custom-crafted to match the shape, color, and contour of your natural teeth, then bonded in place to create a brighter, more uniform, and symmetrical smile.
Veneers are ideal for correcting a variety of cosmetic issues, often in just two visits.

What Can Veneers Correct?
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic option and can be used to:
- Cover stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Repair chipped or cracked teeth
- Improve the appearance of uneven or misshapen teeth
- Close small gaps between teeth
- Lengthen worn teeth for a more youthful appearance
- Create an overall whiter, straighter, and more balanced smile
Whether you're looking to enhance a few teeth or redesign your entire smile, veneers can be customized to your needs.
Benefits of Veneers
- Natural appearance – Carefully matched to your ideal tooth shade and shape
- Minimally invasive – Requires only light enamel reshaping
- Durable and long-lasting – Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or more with proper care
- Stain-resistant – Porcelain resists discoloration from coffee, wine, and tea
- Fast results – Achieve a total smile transformation in as little as two appointments
- Custom-crafted – Every veneer is individually made to fit and flatter your unique features
The Veneer Process
- Smile Consultation
Dr. Henderson will evaluate your oral health, take digital images or impressions, and discuss your aesthetic goals. Together, you’ll design a look that’s flattering, functional, and achievable. - Tooth Preparation
A minimal amount of enamel is gently removed from each tooth receiving a veneer to ensure a natural fit. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent ones are being made. - Veneer Fabrication
Your veneers are custom-crafted at a dental lab using your chosen material (typically porcelain for its strength and translucency). - Final Placement
Once ready, the veneers are bonded securely to your teeth and polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish. You’ll walk out with a completely transformed smile.
Are Veneers Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for dental veneers if you:
- Are in good oral health with no untreated decay or gum disease
- Have aesthetic concerns that cannot be addressed with whitening or orthodontics alone
- Want long-lasting, dramatic results without orthodontic treatment
- Desire a cosmetic enhancement that looks and feels natural
Dr. Henderson will help you explore your options and ensure veneers are the right solution for your unique smile and lifestyle.
Caring for Your Veneers
With proper care, veneers can last well over a decade. To protect your investment:
- Practice daily brushing and flossing
- Avoid biting hard objects (like ice or fingernails)
- Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth
- Visit our office regularly for exams and cleanings
- Use non-abrasive toothpaste to maintain polish
We’ll also check the integrity of your veneers at every visit and provide guidance for keeping your smile radiant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do veneers damage your teeth?
Veneers require the removal of a small amount of enamel, but they do not weaken your teeth. When properly placed and cared for, they can protect and enhance tooth structure.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a long-term solution but may eventually need to be replaced after 10–15 years. They are not reversible due to the enamel that’s removed during preparation.
Can I get veneers on just one or two teeth?
Yes. Veneers can be placed on a single tooth or several, depending on your goals and needs.
Do veneers feel different from natural teeth?
Once bonded, veneers feel just like natural teeth. Most patients adjust quickly and notice no difference in speech or chewing.
