We craft veneers from durable materials and design them to enhance the shape, size, color, and overall appearance of problematic teeth.
Planning and Creating Your Veneers
Before recommending veneers, Dr. Zhou carefully evaluates your oral health to ensure your teeth and gums are in great shape. Then, he works with you to create a customized plan, whether you’re looking for a dramatic improvement or subtle enhancements. For a more cost-effective or minimally invasive option, Dr. Zhou may recommend composite veneers, which can often be completed in just one visit.
What’s the Process for Getting Veneers?
We schedule two appointments for veneers, which include:
- Tooth Preparation — Removing a thin layer of enamel to create space for the veneers.
- Digital Impressions — Taking mess-free impressions to ensure your veneers fit your smile perfectly.
- Fabrication — Creating temporary veneers to protect your teeth while a custom lab creates the final ones.
- Final Placement — Bonding the veneers to your teeth and Dr. Zhou making precise adjustments for a flawless fit.
The process is faster for composite veneers, where tooth-colored resin is sculpted and polished directly on your teeth.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or longer, while composite veneers last 5–7 years. However, both options can last longer with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
