Porcelain Veneers
Give your teeth a face lift!
One of the most powerful tools in cosmetic dentistry — and one of the most rewarding.
Veneers are ultra-thin shells of dental porcelain, custom-crafted to bond to the front surfaces of your teeth. In a single course of treatment, they can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns simultaneously — and the results can be genuinely life-changing.
What veneers address:
- Deep or intrinsic staining that whitening can't reach
- Chips, cracks, or worn edges
- Gaps between teeth
- Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
- Teeth that are too small, too large, or oddly shaped
- Rough or pitted enamel
The Process
Consultation
Your veneer journey begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals, concerns, and desired outcome. Using a custom smile mockup, we'll plan your treatment and preview potential results, ensuring every detail is tailored to create a smile you'll love.
Tooth Preparation
A very small amount of enamel (often less than 1 mm) is gently reshaped to make space for your veneers. This applies to any teeth veneers will be placed on.
Temporary Veneers & Smile Design
Custom temporary veneers are placed during this phase to protect your prepared teeth. These temporaries allow you to preview your new smile and provide feedback on details such as the shade, shape, and size. Any desired adjustments can be made before your final veneers are created, ensuring the perfected result you'll love.
Final Placement
Your permanent veneers are bonded with precision, then shaped and polished for a natural, seamless look.

Professional Teeth Whitening
Give your smile a natural shine!
Skip the strips. Get real results.
Over-the-counter whitening products work — to a point. They're limited by the concentration of whitening agent they're permitted to contain, which means results are slow, modest, and often uneven. Our professional whitening systems use prescription-strength formulas that deliver dramatically better outcomes in far less time.

Is professional teeth whitening better than store-bought whitening kits?

Is teeth whitening safe for sensitive teeth?
Professional teeth whitening is generally safe for patients with sensitive teeth. Your dentist can recommend customized whitening options and sensitivity-reducing products to help keep you comfortable during treatment.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic dental treatment because a small amount of enamel is typically removed before placement. Once veneers are placed, they will eventually need replacement after years of normal wear.
