Why Should I Get Veneers?
Veneers are an excellent choice if you're looking to enhance your smile. They are ideal for correcting a variety of dental imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps, and misalignments. With veneers, you can achieve a bright, beautiful appearance in just a few appointments. This makes them perfect for big events or a quick confidence boost.
Benefits of Veneers
Improved Appearance
Veneers provide an effective way to hide dental imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth. They are custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth, making your smile look brighter and more even in color and shape.
Durable & Longlasting
Made from porcelain, veneers are highly durable and resistant to stains compared to natural teeth. With proper care, including good oral hygiene practices, veneers can last for many years—sometimes a decade or more.
Minimally Invasive
Compared to other dental restoration methods such as crowns, veneers require a smaller amount of tooth enamel removal. This makes the procedure less invasive and preserves more of your natural tooth structure.

The Veneers Treatment Process
Consultation and Planning
The first step involves a detailed consultation with Dr. Sierra, where she'll assess your dental health and discuss your aesthetic goals. This will include taking X-rays, a scan, and photos of your teeth. Together, you'll decide on the size, shape, and color of the veneers to best fit your smile.
Tooth Preparation
To prepare for veneers, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the front surface of your teeth. This is usually about half a millimeter thick—roughly the thickness of the veneer itself. Dr. Sierra will also remove any cavities present. This process helps ensure the veneers will fit seamlessly and look natural while also providing a strong bonding surface.
Impression and Customization
After your teeth are prepared, an impression is taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are created. This step may take a few weeks, during which you will wear temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth.
Application and Adjustment
Once your custom veneers are ready, Dr. Sierra will temporarily place them to check their fit and appearance. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure they look and feel just right. The veneers are then permanently bonded to your teeth. A special light is used to harden the bonding material and complete your smile transformation. Next, Dr. Sierra will scan your new smile for a night guard so she can protect your teeth from any grinding or clenching motions.

FAQs
Have questions? We've got answers.
Veneers are a long-lasting dental solution, but they are not permanent. With proper care, veneers can last for many years before they need to be replaced. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene and visit Dr. Sierra regularly to maintain the longevity of your veneers. While they may not last forever, they can provide longterm benefits with proper maintenance.
Veneers are a great option for enhancing the look of slightly crooked teeth. However, it's important to note that while veneers can improve the appearance of misaligned teeth, they are not a replacement for orthodontic treatment. If you have more severe misalignments, Dr. Sierra will explore the best treatment options for your specific needs.
