What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are a dental procedure designed to hide cosmetic flaws and create a uniform and symmetrical smile. Veneers are custom-made shells that bond to the surface of the teeth to conceal minor dental imperfections like cracks, chips, discoloration, gaps, and uneven or misshapen teeth. Compared to dental crowns that are designed to fit over an entire tooth to provide structure and support, veneers only attach to the front of the teeth and are used for aesthetic purposes.
While composite veneers are made of a tooth-colored resin similar to dental bonding that offers a more cost-effective option, porcelain veneers are considered the gold standard and the more popular option.
Veneers can be a great option for those with healthy teeth. However, not everyone is a good candidate for veneers. You should have sufficient enamel and strong oral and overall health to be considered for veneers. Patients with tooth decay and gum disease should address these issues before placing veneers. An examination with a Seattle, WA, dentist can identify your level of dental health and help determine if veneers are the right choice for your smile goals.

What is the Process of Getting Veneers?
Consultation
During your first visit, Dr. Thomas Sweeney will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your goals to determine if veneers are the right option for you.
Preparation
We will remove some of your enamel and shape your teeth to prepare them for the veneers. Digital scans will then be taken and sent to a dental lab to design your custom veneers and ensure they fit perfectly.
Temporary veneers
A set of temporary veneers will be attached to protect your teeth while you wait for your permanent veneers to arrive.
Permanent veneers
Your permanent veneers will be fitted and adjusted to ensure they are comfortable before they are secured to your teeth using dental cement.

What Are the Benefits of Veneers?
Dramatic Smile Enhancement
Porcelain veneers provide a significant improvement to your smile by addressing a range of cosmetic concerns, such as stains, chips, and uneven spacing. These thin coverings are custom-made to create a flawless and cohesive appearance.
Stain Resistance and Durability
More resistant to discoloration than natural teeth, veneers maintain their brightness over time. Crafted from high-quality ceramic materials, they’re durable and designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
Personalized and Minimally Invasive
Each veneer is tailored to your specific smile goals, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural look. The procedure involves minimal prep, preserving most of your natural tooth enamel for long-lasting results.
Improved Strength and Longevity
Veneers not only enhance the aesthetics of your smile but also strengthen your teeth. With proper care, they’re designed to last 10-15 years or more, offering both beauty and functionality.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with good care, while composite veneers can last 5 to 7 years. Regular dental visits and maintaining good oral hygiene are key to extending their lifespan. Some patients' veneers last 20+ years with exceptional care, while factors like teeth grinding, nail biting, or using teeth as tools can shorten veneer lifespan.
Veneers don't harm your teeth, but they do require removing a thin layer of enamel to ensure a perfect fit. This process is irreversible, but it helps your veneers look and feel natural. The enamel removal is minimal and necessary to prevent bulky-looking teeth while ensuring the veneer bonds securely to the tooth surface.
The procedure is designed to be comfortable. We use local anesthesia during tooth preparation to ensure you feel at ease. After the procedure, you might experience mild sensitivity, which typically resolves quickly. Most patients return to normal activities immediately and report only minor sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures for a few days.
The number of veneers depends on your smile goals. Most patients choose 6 to 8 veneers for their upper front teeth, but we'll tailor the treatment to your needs. Some patients choose just 2-4 veneers for specific teeth while others opt for 10-12 veneers to include both upper and lower arches for complete smile symmetry.
Absolutely! We'll work with you to select a shade that matches your natural teeth or achieves the bright, white smile you desire. Using shade guides and digital smile design, we ensure your veneers complement your skin tone, facial features, and personal aesthetic preferences.
Caring for veneers is simple. Brush and floss daily, avoid biting hard objects, and visit us for routine check-ups. With proper care, your veneers will stay beautiful for years. Avoid using your teeth to open packages, chewing ice, or biting your nails, and consider wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth while sleeping.
Veneers are best suited for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to enhance their smile. During your consultation, we'll assess your dental health and discuss if veneers are the right option for you. Ideal candidates have good oral hygiene, sufficient enamel, no active decay or gum disease, and realistic expectations about the outcome.
Veneers cover only the front surface of teeth and are primarily cosmetic, while crowns cover the entire tooth and provide structural support. Veneers require less tooth preparation and are ideal for cosmetic improvements, whereas crowns are better for severely damaged or weakened teeth.
