VeneersIn Hollis
Uncover the power of a radiant smile and boost your self-assurance. Veneers offer a solution for gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth, helping you achieve a smile that reflects your individual esthetics. Say goodbye to self-doubt and hello to a confident, natural appearance—often so seamless that others will have a hard time telling you had anything done at all.
Why choose veneers?
When it comes to creating a refined, natural-looking smile, porcelain veneers are one of the most elegant and versatile solutions in modern dentistry. Rather than simply masking imperfections, veneers allow us to thoughtfully redesign shape, proportion, and symmetry in a way that complements your facial aesthetics while also supporting proper function. Each veneer is individually crafted for the specific patient, and we collaborate with a master ceramist using advanced imaging and detailed photography to ensure a result that looks beautifully natural—not artificial.
Although many people think of veneers as purely cosmetic, they can also address functional concerns associated with worn, chipped, or uneven teeth, contributing to improved bite balance and long-term oral health. Ultimately, our goal is not only to enhance the appearance of your smile, but to restore and protect your oral health for years to come. We would love to welcome you for a consultation to explore how porcelain veneers can elevate your smile while enhancing functional harmony.

Our Difference
AACD Accredited Provider
Dr. [NAME] has been accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. You can rest assured your smile is in good hands.
Collaborated smile design
Through a collaborative smile-design process, we combine advanced digital technology, clear communication, and the support of our highly skilled ceramist to create a customized “trial smile.” This preview can be placed directly in your mouth to evaluate shape, position, and proportions before any definitive changes are made. With the doctor guiding the design at every step, we’re able to plan conservatively and move toward a final result that feels natural, individualized, and aligned with your personal goals.
Comfortable Digital Scanning
We use one of the most advanced digital scanners available, allowing us to capture precise impressions without traditional molds or materials that can feel uncomfortable.
The Veneers Treatment Process
Prepare for Perfection
Following your consultation and custom-tailored design, we will strategically polish select areas of your teeth in a very minimal and conservative manner to create space for your veneers. In comparison to crowns, veneers rely on preserving more natural enamel, which enhances the strength and longevity of the bond.
Preview Your New Smile
Once the polishing is complete, we will use our state-of-the-art digital scanner to capture 3D images of your teeth. These scans serve as the blueprint for creating your final porcelain veneers. In the meantime, we fabricate a set of custom temporary veneers that you’ll wear to help fine-tune and dial in the final ceramics—providing a preview of what’s to come.
Reveal Your Radiance
Once your bespoke veneers are ready, your dentist will carefully evaluate their fit, color, and overall appearance. After any necessary adjustments, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, unveiling a smile that is artfully crafted and elegantly refined.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
Veneers are designed to be a long-term solution, so removing them is generally not ideal. Since a small amount of enamel is smoothed during treatment, the tooth will always need coverage—usually with a new veneer or a crown. With good care, veneers can last many years, and if concerns arise later, it’s typically better to repair or replace a veneer rather than remove it entirely. If you ever have questions, your dentist can guide you on the best approach for your smile.
With proper care, veneers are designed to last for many years, although their longevity depends on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. Over time, some natural wear may occur, and individual veneers might require repair or replacement. Maintaining excellent home care, attending regular dental visits, and avoiding habits that place stress on your teeth can help extend the life of your veneers.
Most veneers are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials such as feldspathic porcelain or e.max. These ceramics are selected for their close resemblance to natural enamel in both appearance and texture. Each ceramic layer is carefully built up in multiple steps to mimic natural translucency and shading, making them ideal for achieving a refined, natural result.
The cost of veneers can vary based on several factors, including the number of teeth being treated, your overall oral health, and the specific size and shape of each tooth. For an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a cosmetic consultation. During this visit, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth, assess your oral health, and provide a detailed quote for your personalized veneer treatment.
