We'll Help You Choose the Right Veneers 

Veneers are ideal for patients who want to enhance the appearance of their smile without extensive or lengthy treatment.

Because they address multiple cosmetic concerns at once, veneers can give you a streamlined solution with dramatic results.

A thorough evaluation helps determine whether veneers align with your smile goals, bite, and long-term dental health.

With careful planning, your veneers complement your facial features and look natural when you speak, laugh, and smile. Our goal is a balanced, confident appearance that feels authentic to you.

Make a Lasting Investment in Your Smile With Veneers

Veneers are a simple and efficient way to transform your smile. These thin shells can conceal a multitude of imperfections, from discoloration to slight misalignment. That's why people sometimes call them "instant orthodontics." They can give you an even smile in as few as two appointments.

At Porters Neck Dentistry, Dr. Shumate uses e.max veneers, which are made of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. It's a thinner material than standard porcelain, so your dentist will only have to remove less enamel from teeth to make room for your veneers. Plus, it's strong, so you can expect your beautiful smile to last for many years. Veneers can:

  • Brighten Your Smile - Veneers not only cover stubborn stains and discoloration, but they also resist staining. This ensures you have a brighter and whiter smile.
  • Correct Imperfections - Veneers can conceal chips, cracks, and other imperfections. You'll restore your teeth's beauty.
  • Close Gaps - Gaps or small spaces between your teeth will no longer be visible to others. You'll love showing off a uniform smile.
  • Align Teeth - Your veneers can hide slightly overlapping or misaligned teeth. It's ideal if your alignment concerns are purely cosmetic.

Your veneers procedure typically takes only a few appointments. You can wear headphones to stay happily distracted during your procedure. A weighted blanket can help you relax. Sedation options are available if you still feel nervous.

Commonly Asked Questions About Dental Veneers

How do dental veneers work?
Veneers are ultra-thin dental restorations that completely cover the front of your teeth. They are made using impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. When securely bonded in place, they can change the size, shape, and color of your teeth. This makes them one of our most versatile cosmetic treatments.
How long do dental veneers last?
With proper care, well-made dental veneers should last for years. They can typically withstand years of wear and resist stains for up to two decades or longer, depending on the type and quality of your veneers. Your dentist will talk to you about how to best care for your dental veneers to avoid damage and prolong their life.
Can you whiten dental veneers?
Teeth whitening will not work on dental veneers. For this reason, we encourage you to first whiten your teeth to the desired level of whiteness. Then we can match your teeth veneers to your radiant new smile. You can keep your teeth bright and attractive with periodic whitening treatments in our office or at home.
