A digital mockup shows you your projected smile before a single tooth is prepped. Smile Center Dentistry previews your result digitally before any enamel is touched.
A rushed veneer case is how patients end up with a smile that doesn't match their face. We'd rather spend extra time on the mockup stage than redo a finished case.
We adjust shape and shade digitally until you approve it, not after the veneers are already made. We walk through the mockup together, not just email you a file to review alone.
When your case allows it, we use minimal-prep veneers that preserve more of your natural enamel. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
We walk through the durability, cost, and appearance trade-offs between porcelain and composite before you choose. We'll tell you honestly if your case is better suited to one material over the other.
If a veneer doesn't fit or match shade correctly, we adjust or remake it within the guarantee period. Shade matching is checked in natural light, not just under the exam lamp.
The right material and number of veneers depend on what you're trying to correct.
Custom-shaded in a dental lab to match — or intentionally brighten — your natural smile. Typically requires two visits: prep and impressions, then bonding.
A tooth-colored resin is sculpted directly onto your teeth, often completed in a single visit. We explain the shorter lifespan honestly compared to porcelain.
We use digital imaging to preview your projected smile shape and shade before any prep work begins. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
A chipped or discolored single tooth can often be addressed with one veneer rather than a full smile case. Ideal for isolated damage rather than an overall smile makeover.
A full-arch case gets extra planning time to ensure every veneer works together, not just individually. We stage complex cases in phases when that better serves the outcome.
We'll tell you if bonding could accomplish your goal at a lower cost before recommending veneers. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.
We ask what you'd like to change about your smile when you book, so the consult is focused.
We create a digital mockup of your projected result for you to review and adjust.
Minimal tooth preparation, followed by impressions or a digital scan sent to the lab.
Your finished veneers are bonded and checked for fit, bite, and shade match.
"The digital mockup let me request a slightly different shape before they touched my teeth. Ended up exactly how I pictured it."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Full smile makeover took a few visits but they staged it so I wasn't without teeth at any point."
"Minimal-prep option kept more of my natural tooth intact, which mattered to me."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
Lifespan depends on material and habits like grinding — we discuss realistic expectations at your consult. We'll recommend the material likely to hold up best for your specific habits.
Composite veneers often require no anesthesia at all since they involve less enamel removal. We check comfort throughout the procedure rather than assuming it's fine.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. This step exists specifically so nothing is a surprise once we start.
We walk through both honestly so you choose based on your budget and timeline, not upselling. Both can look excellent — the difference is mostly longevity and cost.
Composite veneers can sometimes be applied with little to no enamel removal at all. We always aim for the most conservative approach that still achieves your goal.
Cost depends on material and how many teeth are involved — we give a specific quote after your design consult. Financing options are available for larger cases.
