With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or more. Composite veneers typically last 5–7 years. Regular checkups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like nail-biting help maximize longevity.

Yes. Our veneers are custom-designed to match your features and reflect light just like real enamel. They’re individually crafted for your smile—no bulky, cookie-cutter results.

Only a minimal amount of enamel is removed to ensure a perfect fit. The process is conservative, and veneers actually strengthen and protect your teeth. For those seeking an even gentler option, no-prep veneers require little to no enamel removal.

Most patients complete treatment within two to three weeks over two or three visits—consultation, preparation, and final placement.

Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted from high-strength ceramic that mimics the look and translucency of natural enamel and resists stains. Composite veneers are made from a tooth-colored resin and can often be completed in one visit but are less durable and more prone to staining.

Pricing depends on the material and the number of veneers. Composite is typically more affordable and can be completed faster, while porcelain offers superior strength and a more natural appearance. We provide clear cost estimates and flexible monthly payment plans. Our $1/day membership plan includes 20% off cosmetic treatments.
