A digital mockup shows you your projected smile before a single tooth is prepped. 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. We'd rather spend extra time on the mockup stage than redo a finished case.
We adjust shape and shade digitally until you approve it, not after the veneers are already made. 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. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
We walk through the durability, cost, and appearance trade-offs between porcelain and composite before you choose. Neither material is universally 'better' — the right choice depends on your goals and budget.
If a veneer doesn't fit or match shade correctly, we adjust or remake it within the guarantee period. 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.
This step lets you request adjustments — length, shape, brightness — before we touch your teeth. 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.
For patients addressing multiple teeth at once, we plan shape, shade, and symmetry across the full arch. 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.
We ask what you'd like to change about your smile when you book, so the consult is focused.
You approve shape and shade before any tooth preparation happens.
Temporary veneers are placed while your custom ones are fabricated.
We confirm you're happy with the result before you leave the chair.
"Seeing my projected smile on a screen before committing made the whole decision so much easier."
"Went with composite for budget reasons and they were upfront that it wouldn't last as long as porcelain. No pressure to upgrade."
"Full smile makeover took a few visits but they staged it so I wasn't without teeth at any point."
"They adjusted the shade twice until it matched exactly what I wanted, no extra charge."
"Asked about bonding first since I only had one chipped tooth and they said it would work fine — saved me money over a full veneer."
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care; composite usually needs replacement sooner, around 5 to 7 years. We'll recommend the material likely to hold up best for your specific habits.
Tooth preparation is done with local anesthesia when needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Any mild sensitivity afterward typically resolves within a few days.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. We can adjust the mockup as many times as needed until you're satisfied.
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.
Composite veneers can sometimes be applied with little to no enamel removal at all. Enamel removed for veneers doesn't grow back, which is why we're careful about how much we take.
We break down per-tooth cost clearly so you can decide how many veneers fit your budget. Financing options are available for larger cases.
