What are dental veneers?
A veneer is a thin, tooth-shaped shell of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Each veneer is made for your tooth, so the size, shape and shade match the rest of your smile.
What veneers can correct
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Stains and discoloration that whitening does not remove
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven, short or misshapen teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth in suitable cases
Porcelain veneers vs. Lumineers
| Feature | Traditional porcelain veneers | Lumineers |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Thin porcelain shell | Ultra-thin porcelain shell |
| Tooth preparation | A small amount of enamel is usually removed | Often little or none in suitable cases |
| Best for | Larger color, shape or alignment changes | Subtle changes in healthy teeth |
| Reversibility | Not reversible once enamel is removed | May be less invasive, depending on your teeth |
The right choice depends on your teeth, your bite and what you want to change. Your dentist will explain which one fits you and why.
Benefits of porcelain veneers
- Natural look. Porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel.
- Stain-resistant. Veneers resist coffee, tea and wine better than natural teeth.
- Custom-made. Each veneer is crafted for your smile.
- One treatment, several fixes. Color, shape and gaps can be improved at the same time.
- Long-lasting. With good care, porcelain veneers commonly last ten years or more.
Veneers, whitening, bonding or aligners?
- Whitening brightens the natural color of your teeth. See teeth whitening.
- Bonding repairs small chips and gaps with tooth-colored resin.
- Veneers change color, shape and size at once.
- Aligners and braces move teeth into position. See Invisalign.

Are you a good candidate for veneers?
You may be a good candidate if your teeth and gums are healthy and you have enough enamel for bonding. Tooth decay and gum disease should be treated first. If you grind your teeth, a night guard can protect your veneers. If your teeth are crooked, it can be better to straighten them first. Take our short guide: Are veneers right for you?
Veneer cost and payment
The cost depends on how many veneers you need, the material and the complexity of your case. We give you a written treatment plan and fee before you begin. Cosmetic treatment is often not covered by insurance, and we offer CareCredit financing.
Caring for your veneers and how long they last
Brush and floss every day, avoid chewing ice, pens or other hard objects, and keep your regular dental visits. Learn more in how long veneers really last.
