What Are Cosmetic Veneers?
Cosmetic dental veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are custom-made to match your smile and can correct issues like chips, gaps, discoloration, or uneven shapes. Unlike whitening treatments or dental bonding, veneers provide a long-lasting solution that combines strength with aesthetics.
Benefits of Cosmetic Veneers
Porcelain veneers are popular because they deliver both beauty and durability. Before deciding if veneers are right for you, it helps to understand their main advantages:
- Natural-Looking Results: Veneers are crafted from high-quality porcelain that mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- Durability & Strength: Cosmetic porcelain veneers are resistant to staining and can last for many years with proper care, offering a lasting smile makeover.
- Custom Design: Each veneer is tailored to match the color, shape, and size of your teeth, ensuring a personalized and balanced smile.
- Improved Confidence: With cosmetic veneers, before and after results that are truly transformative, patients often feel more confident in both personal and professional settings.

Step 1: Consultation & Examination
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where Dr. Sahafi evaluates your oral health and discusses your goals. This ensures veneers are the right solution for your smile.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is carefully removed from the surface of your teeth. This makes space for the veneers to fit naturally and comfortably without feeling bulky.

Are Veneers Right for You?
Who Can Benefit from Porcelain Veneers?
Many of our patients can benefit from porcelain veneers. Learn more about whether you’re an ideal candidate.
Ideal Candidates
Cosmetic veneers treatment is best for patients with good overall oral health who want to correct cosmetic concerns like stained, chipped, or gapped teeth.
When Veneers Might Not Be the Best Option
In some cases, patients with severe decay, gum disease, or weakened enamel may require other treatments before veneers can be considered.
Comparing Veneers to Other Cosmetic Treatments
Veneers offer longer-lasting results than teeth whitening and a more comprehensive transformation than dental bonding. They are often chosen for patients seeking a complete smile makeover.
About Lumineers® & No-Prep Veneers
Many patients researching veneers come across Lumineers® or other types of no-prep veneers. Lumineers® are an ultra-thin veneer option that often requires little to no removal of natural tooth enamel, making the process less invasive than traditional veneers. Because they are thinner, they can sometimes be applied more quickly and with fewer changes to your natural teeth.
However, their slim design may not provide the same level of strength, customization, or longevity as traditional porcelain veneers, especially for patients with significant cosmetic concerns or bite issues.
At Dover Dental, we take the time to compare Lumineers®, no-prep veneers, and traditional veneers with each patient. Our goal is to help you choose the option that delivers the right balance of comfort, durability, and natural-looking aesthetics for your smile.
Your Questions About Cosmetic Veneers Answered
If you’re considering cosmetic dental veneers, you may have questions about their longevity, comfort, and care. Here are the answers to the most common ones:
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
With proper care, veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or more before they may need replacement.
Does Getting Veneers Hurt?
The procedure is generally painless. Local anesthesia is used during tooth preparation to ensure your comfort.
Are Veneers Permanent?
Yes, since a small amount of enamel is removed, veneers are considered permanent. They can be replaced if needed, but not reversed.
How Do I Care for My Veneers?
Maintain veneers just like natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular dental checkups. Avoid chewing on hard objects to extend their lifespan.
Can Veneers Be Customized to Match My Natural Teeth?
Absolutely. Veneers are designed to blend seamlessly with the shape and shade of your natural smile.
How Does Dental Bonding Compare to Cosmetic Veneers for Smile Enhancement?
Dental bonding is a conservative, cost-effective alternative to veneers, using resin to improve tooth shape or color. Done in one appointment with less enamel removal, it delivers natural-looking results.
