Dental Veneers
Dental veneers, also called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are hand-crafted and custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials. Dental veneers are wafer-thin and designed to cover the front surface of your teeth in order to improve the overall appearance of your smile. Veneers are bonded onto the front of the teeth in order to change their size, shape, color, or length.
Dental veneers are a popular dental procedure because they can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile in a very short period of time.
They are made from either porcelain or resin composite materials that are strong like your natural enamel. Between the two, porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains and have the ability to better mimic the light-reflecting properties that natural teeth have. Either option also has one property that everyone loves… Veneers don’t get cavities!
What Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?
- Build up worn down teeth.
- Cover discolored teeth stained from tetracycline or other drugs, large resin fillings; or excessive fluoride.
- Cosmetically cover uneven or misaligned teeth, or ones that are irregularly shaped such as those that have bulges or craters in them
- Hide defects in broken or chipped teeth
- Widen teeth on either side of gaps
What Benefits Can You Get From Veneers?
Custom For You
Since dental veneers are handmade, individually designed, and sculpted and color matched for each patient, it’s nearly impossible to spot the difference between a natural tooth and a veneer. Custom-made porcelain veneers also have the ability to resist stains from coffee, tea, and cigarette smoking because they are made from high-tech stain resistant materials.
Brighter Smile
Patients with teeth that resist whitening can get the bright white smile that they want through veneers no matter how dark their natural teeth may be.
Keeps Natural Teeth Intact
Veneers are better than crowns because they keep your natural teeth largely intact with only a small amount being altered in order to achieve good fit.
Fixes Minor Gaps, etc
Veneers may be recommended by dentists to quickly fix any overlaps, minor twists, and small gaps in between the teeth. The alternative to this would be to use braces or Invisalign™ to straighten the teeth, which is a much longer process.

"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gregory for the past 6 months and it has been a very pleasant experience. She and her staff are wonderful and have made me feel very comfortable. They are always very upbeat! Dr. Gregory did an excellent job of explaining the procedure that would be performed and it went very well – almost pain-free! I highly recommend her."
"I was happy to find Dr. Gregory after a previous bad experience. I was very nervous and she put me at ease about the procedure and made a follow-up call that evening to be sure all was well. I will feel very comfortable recommending her to all my friends."
