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.
A rushed veneer case is how patients end up with a smile that doesn't match their face. Proportions that work on a screen don't always translate — we check the design against your actual face and smile line.
You'll see a mockup of your projected smile before we prep a single tooth, so there are no surprises. Adjustments at the mockup stage cost nothing; changes after fabrication are a different story.
When your case allows it, we use minimal-prep veneers that preserve more of your natural enamel. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
Composite can often be done in a single visit; porcelain takes longer but resists staining better — we explain both honestly. We'll tell you honestly if your case is better suited to one material over the other.
We don't consider the case finished until the fit and color are right, not just acceptable. Shade matching is checked in natural light, not just under the exam lamp.
Not every smile concern needs the same veneer approach — here's what we offer after your design consult.
Thin, durable porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth for a long-lasting, stain-resistant result. 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.
We'll tell you if bonding could accomplish your goal at a lower cost before recommending veneers. 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.
Your finished veneers are bonded and checked for fit, bite, and shade match.
"Seeing my projected smile on a screen before committing made the whole decision so much easier."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Porcelain veneers three years in and they still look like the day I got them."
"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. A nightguard can extend lifespan significantly for patients who grind their teeth.
Tooth preparation is done with local anesthesia when needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort. We check comfort throughout the procedure rather than assuming it's fine.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. This step exists specifically so nothing is a surprise once we start.
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. We always aim for the most conservative approach that still achieves your goal.
Cost depends on material and how many teeth are involved — we give a specific quote after your design consult. Financing options are available for larger cases.
