Why choose veneers?
Have you ever dreamed of a complete smile transformation? Veneers can make that dream a reality. These ultra-thin, durable porcelain shells are custom-designed to cover the front of your teeth, masking a variety of cosmetic imperfections including stubborn stains, misalignment, gaps, or damaged teeth. Their versatility makes them a popular choice for patients seeking a long-lasting, comfortable, and natural-looking smile upgrade.
Veneers Designed to Fit Your Needs
We offer several veneer options to fit different needs and budgets. For a more affordable choice, 3D-printed veneers allow you to enhance your smile at a fraction of the cost. If you’re looking for a longer-lasting solution, porcelain veneers provide beautiful, durable results that stand the test of time. While porcelain veneers do come at a higher cost, they also last significantly longer than 3D-printed options. Schedule an appointment with us to explore which option is the best fit for you.
Comfortable Digital Scanning
By using digital scanning technology to create your custom veneers, you’ll never have to endure another goopy, uncomfortable impression tray again.

The Veneers Treatment Process
Prepare for Perfection
After your initial cosmetic consultation and treatment approval, Dr. Langel will gently prep your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel if necessary, creating the ideal foundation for your veneers.
Preview Your New Smile
Following preparation, we'll take digital scans of your teeth to craft your veneers. In most cases, your veneers will be crafted and placed same-day, unless you opt for a Smile Trial, in which case you'll wear temporarily cemented custom veneers, protecting your teeth and giving you a sneak peek of your future smile.
Reveal Your Radiance
Once your bespoke veneers are milled or printed, Dr. Langel will ensure a perfect fit and appearance. After any necessary adjustments, your veneers will be bonded to your teeth, unveiling your dazzling new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

While veneers are designed as a long-term solution, removal is possible but not recommended. The process of applying veneers involves permanently altering your natural teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel. If veneers are removed, your teeth would require protection, often in the form of new veneers or crowns. It's crucial to view veneers as a commitment to your smile's future. With proper care and maintenance, your veneers can last for many years, potentially decades. If issues arise, it's typically better to replace or repair individual veneers rather than attempt removal. Always consult with your dentist about any concerns regarding your veneers.
With proper care, veneers typically last between 15 to 20 years. Their longevity largely depends on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle. Over time, you may notice some wear, and individual veneers might require repair or replacement.
To maximize the lifespan of your veneers, maintain excellent oral hygiene, attend regular dental check-ups, and avoid habits that could potentially damage them.
Most veneers are crafted from high-quality ceramic porcelain, a material chosen for its close resemblance to natural tooth enamel in both appearance and texture. Porcelain veneers are carefully color-matched to your existing teeth and offer excellent durability, translucency, and a natural-looking finish.
In addition to traditional porcelain veneers, we also offer 3D printed veneers as a more cost-effective option. These veneers are made from advanced dental-grade resin materials designed specifically for strength, aesthetics, and comfort. Using digital scanning and in-house 3D printing technology, these veneers are custom-designed for a precise fit and natural appearance, providing an efficient and affordable alternative for enhancing your smile.
The cost of veneers can vary based on several factors, including the number of teeth being treated, your overall oral health, and the specific size and shape of each tooth. For an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a cosmetic consultation. During this visit, we will thoroughly examine your mouth, assess your oral health, present your options (which include both porcelain and 3D printed veneers), and provide a detailed quote for your personalized veneer treatment.
