How Veneers Redesign Your Smile
Smile Design
We want you to feel confident about your new smile before we even start. Using advanced digital imaging, we’ll show you a preview of what your smile will look like. This gives you the chance to make adjustments, so you get the perfect results.
Temporary Veneers
While your custom veneers are being made, we’ll provide you with temporary veneers so you can experience your new smile right away. This gives you a chance to make sure everything feels just right before your permanent veneers are placed.
Permanent Veneers
Our premium porcelain and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic veneers are designed to look natural and last. Custom-crafted to match your unique features, these veneers restore both the beauty and function of your smile, giving you a smile that feels as good as it looks.
What Veneers Can Treat
Veneers can fix a variety of concerns, giving you a bright, uniform, and healthy-looking smile. Here’s what they can address:
Discolored Teeth
Turn stained or dull teeth into a bright, radiant smile that lasts.
Gaps and Spacing
Close unwanted gaps between teeth for a more polished, uniform look.
Chips and Cracks
Restore the appearance of damaged teeth while protecting them from further issues.
Misalignment
Achieve the appearance of straight teeth without the need for braces or lengthy treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if a veneer becomes damaged?
While porcelain veneers are durable and resistant to staining and damage, they can be chipped or cracked in rare cases. If this happens, the damaged veneer can typically be replaced individually, without the need to replace the others. If you experience any issues with your veneer, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team—we’ll help resolve it quickly.
Can veneers be whitened?
Porcelain veneers cannot be whitened after they’re placed, so it's important to choose the right shade before placement. During your consultation, we’ll help you select a shade that complements your natural teeth and gives you the smile you’ve always wanted. If you choose a brighter shade, it will stay the same over time, unlike natural teeth that can stain.
How do I care for my veneers?
Caring for your veneers is simple. Just maintain your regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting Bluff Park Dental for routine checkups. Avoid habits like biting hard objects (e.g., pens or ice) to keep your veneers in great shape for years to come.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Since veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, they are generally not covered by insurance. However, we offer a variety of financing options to make veneers more affordable, including payment plans and financing through Cherry. Our team will help you explore all the available options to ensure your treatment fits within your budget.
How many appointments are needed?
Most veneer treatments require 2-3 visits. The first visit involves a consultation, where we discuss your goals and take impressions of your teeth. The second appointment is for the placement of temporary veneers, and the third is when we bond the final, custom veneers in place, ensuring they fit perfectly and look natural.
Can I eat normally with veneers?
Yes, you can enjoy most foods just as you normally would with veneers. However, we recommend avoiding excessive pressure on your teeth and steering clear of very hard or sticky foods that could potentially damage or loosen your veneers. Keeping your diet in check helps preserve the longevity of your veneers.
Is the procedure painful?
We take great care to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to numb the treatment area, and our gentle techniques minimize discomfort. Most patients report only mild sensitivity after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days.
Will veneers look natural?
Absolutely! Custom veneers are designed to match your natural teeth in both color and shape. Using advanced techniques, we ensure the veneers have the right translucency, so they blend perfectly with your smile and look completely natural—just like your real teeth.
Are veneers permanent?
Yes, veneers are a permanent cosmetic solution. The process requires removing a small amount of your tooth enamel, which means veneers are not reversible. However, once placed, they provide a durable, long-lasting result that enhances your smile and boosts your confidence.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last between 10-15 years or even longer. The longevity of your veneers depends on factors such as your oral hygiene habits, diet, and whether you grind your teeth. Regular dental visits and maintaining a healthy mouth will help extend the life of your veneers.
