What Are Dental Veneers

A complete smile
transformation

Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They're bonded to the front of the teeth to change their color, shape, size, or length.

Made from porcelain or resin composite materials, veneers resist stains better than natural teeth and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

At Monument Family Dentistry, we work closely with you to design veneers that complement your face shape, skin tone, and personal style for results you'll love.

Transform Your Smile

What veneers can fix

Veneers offer a versatile solution for many cosmetic dental concerns.

Discolored Teeth

Stains from medications, root canal treatment, excessive fluoride, or large resin fillings that can't be whitened.

Worn Down Teeth

Teeth that have become worn from grinding, clenching, or normal wear over time.

Chipped or Broken

Minor chips and breaks that affect your smile's appearance but don't require crowns.

Gaps Between Teeth

Close small gaps and spaces between teeth without orthodontic treatment.

Misaligned Teeth

Minor misalignment or uneven teeth that don't require braces to correct.

Irregularly Shaped

Teeth with unusual shape, size, or surface irregularities that affect your smile.

Common Questions

Veneers FAQ

Yes! Modern porcelain veneers are designed to mimic the translucency and light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. We custom-match the shade to complement your skin tone and facial features for results that look completely natural.

Veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a thin layer of enamel must be removed to place them. However, the veneers themselves typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement.

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the veneer process. We use local anesthesia during tooth preparation, and any sensitivity after placement is usually temporary.

Care for veneers just like natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit us for regular checkups. Avoid biting hard objects and consider a nightguard if you grind your teeth.

Veneers can correct minor misalignment and create the appearance of straighter teeth. However, significant crowding or bite issues may require orthodontic treatment first.

The cost varies based on the number of veneers and materials used. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan and discuss payment options, including financing.
