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. We'd rather spend extra time on the mockup stage than redo a finished case.
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. Preserving enamel matters for long-term tooth health, not just for this procedure.
Composite can often be done in a single visit; porcelain takes longer but resists staining better — we explain both honestly. 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. We'd rather remake one veneer than have you live with a mismatch.
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 more affordable, reversible option for patients who want results without committing to porcelain. 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.
A chipped or discolored single tooth can often be addressed with one veneer rather than a full smile case. 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.
Your finished veneers are bonded and checked for fit, bite, and shade match.
"The digital mockup let me request a slightly different shape before they touched my teeth. Ended up exactly how I pictured it."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Full smile makeover took a few visits but they staged it so I wasn't without teeth at any point."
"Minimal-prep option kept more of my natural tooth intact, which mattered to me."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
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.
Yes — our digital smile design mockup shows your projected result before any prep work begins. We can adjust the mockup as many times as needed until you're satisfied.
We walk through both honestly so you choose based on your budget and timeline, not upselling. Composite can be touched up over time; porcelain generally can't be repaired the same way.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve most of your enamel; traditional porcelain requires some reduction, which we explain case by case. We always aim for the most conservative approach that still achieves your goal.
We break down per-tooth cost clearly so you can decide how many veneers fit your budget. Financing options are available for larger cases.
