What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that go over the front of your teeth. They can improve the appearance of chipped, stained, worn, or slightly uneven teeth to create a more balanced smile.
The Veneers Process at Matouk Family Dentistry
Here’s what to expect, step by step:
- Consultation: First, we take a close look at your teeth and gums. Tell us what you want, bring photos if you have them. This gives us a clear picture before we start shaping anything.
- Preparation: For porcelain veneers, a small amount of enamel is gently removed. It’s not much, just enough to make room. Then we take impressions so your veneers fit precisely.
- Temporary Veneers: Your custom set takes a couple of weeks to come back from the lab. So we cover your teeth with temporaries in the meantime, they hold you over and give you an idea about your final result.
- Final Placement: When the final ones arrive, we examine them first. Fit, shape, color, everything gets checked before anything’s permanent. Once it looks right, we bond them in place, and you’re done.
Ideal Candidates for Veneers
Most healthy adults are good candidates for veneers. You should have enough healthy tooth structure to support the shell. Your gums should be free of active disease or infection. Veneers work best for cosmetic issues, not major bite problems.
If you grind your teeth at night, let us know. We may recommend a nightguard to protect your investment. Patients with severe decay or gum disease may need treatment first. We’ll always be upfront if veneers aren’t the right fit for you.
Benefits of Choosing Veneers
No months of orthodontics or waiting around. Veneers give you a different smile in just a few visits. Porcelain resists stains too, so coffee and wine won’t undo the work. And they don’t feel bulky or fake against your tongue.
The bigger change is usually how people act afterward. Patients tell us they smile more in photos, in meetings, just walking around.
Caring for Your Veneers
The good news is that veneers don’t ask much of you. Brush and floss the way you already do. Skip the ice-chewing and the pen-biting; that’s really the main factor that damages them.
Come in for regular checkups, too. Small problems are easy to catch early and a pain to fix late. Do that, and your veneers can hold up for well over a decade.

Had a fantastic experience with Dr. Matouk. I called with a tooth emergency on the weekend and she was able to get me in right away and fix my broken tooth. Dr. Matouk is very professional.
