What are veneers?

A veneer is a thin layer of tooth-colored material bonded to the front of a tooth. Veneers can change a tooth’s color, shape, length and position slightly, making them one of the most versatile cosmetic options. They can fix one problem tooth or transform a whole smile.

Dr. Jon Barnes offers porcelain veneers, including e.max and Empress materials, and composite (resin) veneers, as well as traditional veneers. Porcelain is very stain-resistant and is made in a dental lab; composite is sculpted directly on the tooth and is often less expensive. Dr. Barnes will help you weigh appearance, durability and budget.

Veneers can help with:

Veneers aren’t a fit for everyone. Teeth need healthy gums and enough enamel, and people who grind heavily may need a night guard. Larger alignment problems may be better treated with Invisalign first.

Veneers, bonding, crowns or whitening: which fits your smile?

Veneers are one of several ways to change how your teeth look. Dr. Barnes will tell you honestly which one fits your teeth after an exam.

Teeth whitening brightens natural teeth but doesn’t change shape, chips or gaps. If color is your only concern, professional whitening may be all you need.
Composite veneers are sculpted directly on the tooth, often in one visit, and usually cost less than porcelain.
Porcelain veneers (including e.max and Empress) are made in a dental lab. They resist stains and suit people who want to change color, shape and length at once.
Crowns cover the whole tooth. They’re a better choice when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled or weak. See crowns and bridges.
Invisalign moves the teeth themselves. When teeth are more crooked, straightening first with Invisalign can mean fewer veneers, or none.

What to expect

1. Smile consultation

Talk about the look you want; Dr. Barnes examines your teeth, gums and bite and takes photos and X-rays.

2. Plan

Shade, shape and length are planned with you.

3. Preparation

For porcelain, a thin layer of enamel is usually removed so the veneer sits naturally; a digital scan goes to the dental lab, and you wear temporaries.

4. Bonding

At your follow-up visit, we check fit and color, lightly etch the tooth surface, bond each veneer with a strong adhesive and check your bite.

5. Aftercare

Normal brushing, flossing and checkups; a night guard if you grind.

How long does the veneer process take?

Composite veneers can often be done in a single visit, because they’re shaped right on your teeth.

Porcelain veneers usually take two main visits. At the first, Dr. Barnes prepares the teeth, takes a digital scan for the dental lab and places temporaries. At the follow-up visit, we check the fit and color of each veneer, then bond them in place and check your bite.

If you want whiter teeth too, plan whitening before your veneers. Veneers are matched to the teeth around them, so whitening first sets the shade.

Caring for your veneers

Brush twice a day and floss daily, just like natural teeth.
Keep your regular checkups and cleanings so we can check your gums and the edges of each veneer.
Don’t bite fingernails, ice, pens or other hard objects, and don’t use your teeth to open packages.
If you grind or clench, wear the night guard Dr. Barnes recommends.
Composite can pick up stains over time. Porcelain resists coffee and tea stains better.

Veneer FAQs

Do veneers look fake?

They shouldn’t. Shade, shape and translucency are chosen to suit your face and nearby teeth, and you’ll approve the plan.

Are veneers permanent?

Porcelain veneers usually require removing a thin layer of enamel, so the tooth will always need a covering. Veneers may need replacing someday.

How long do veneers last?

Many last for years with good care. Avoid biting hard objects and wear a night guard if you grind.

Porcelain or composite?

Porcelain is more stain-resistant and typically lasts longer; composite costs less and can often be done in one visit. Dr. Barnes will explain which suits your teeth.

Should I whiten first?

Usually, yes. Veneers are matched to your surrounding teeth, so whitening first sets the shade.

Can veneers fix crooked teeth?

Veneers can make teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven in length look straighter. Larger alignment problems may be better treated with Invisalign first.

Can I get just one veneer?

Yes. A veneer can fix one problem tooth, like a chipped or stained front tooth, or be part of a whole smile makeover. Dr. Barnes matches a single veneer to the teeth beside it.

Does insurance cover veneers?

Because veneers are usually cosmetic, insurance rarely covers them. You’ll get a written estimate before treatment. We accept cash, credit cards, CareCredit, Cherry payment plans and some in-house finance options.

Are there any veneer specials?

Yes. $749 for one crown or veneer (single unit). Additional units are at our regular fee. Limit one unit per patient. Cash price only, not eligible with insurance participation. Excludes gold, full gold and high noble crowns. Ask us about current veneer savings. Call or ask at your visit for details. See Specials.

Who should not get veneers?

Teeth need healthy gums and enough enamel. Cavities or gum disease should be treated first, and people who grind heavily may need a night guard. Dr. Barnes will tell you after an exam whether veneers, bonding, a crown or whitening is the better fit.
