Veneers dentists in San Antonio

What are dental veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are used to fix discoloration, chips, gaps, or slight misalignments.

What can I expect during the veneers procedure?
The process typically involves two visits.

• During the first visit, the dentist prepares your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and taking impressions. Temporary veneers may be placed.
• On the second visit, the permanent veneers are bonded to your teeth and adjusted for a perfect fit.

How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years with proper care, while composite veneers last around 5–7 years. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene can extend their lifespan.

Do veneers look natural?
Yes, veneers are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, giving you a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Does getting veneers hurt?
The process is usually painless. A small amount of enamel may be removed to fit the veneers, but local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure.

How do I care for my veneers?
Care for veneers just like your natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, and avoid biting hard objects. Regular dental check-ups are also important to maintain their appearance and functionality.
