What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are small, custom-made pieces of porcelain, which are sometimes called sheaths. As a “veneers dentist near me,” we place them on the outward-facing surfaces of the teeth in order to hide aesthetic imperfections. For example, veneers can be used to disguise:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Stubborn discoloration
- Small gaps between the teeth
- Asymmetrical teeth
- Minor misalignment
Veneers are highly resistant to stains and discoloration, and they may last for many years if they receive proper care. They also look incredibly similar to natural tooth enamel; porcelain even reflects light in the same way as real teeth.
The Process of Getting Veneers

The process of getting veneers takes place across a few appointments. To get things started, we will consult with you and design your new look; advanced software will help you visualize your final results.
Next, we will prepare your teeth for veneers, usually by removing a bit of enamel. This step is necessary so your veneers will adhere well to your teeth and have a natural appearance. Once your teeth are ready, we will place temporary veneers on them while a laboratory uses impressions of your smile to create your permanent veneers.
When your veneers are ready, we will double-check that they meet our strict quality standards before placing them on your teeth.
Benefits of Veneers

Veneers offer some truly outstanding benefits:
- Veneers look incredibly natural, and they are custom-made to complement each patient’s unique facial features.
- Veneers can be used to transform one tooth, a few teeth, or your entire smile. They can also be designed to accommodate your specific wishes. For example, you can let us know if you would like them to be a particular color or shape.
- With proper care, it is common for veneers to last 10 – 15 years or longer.
- Stain resistance. Porcelain veneers are nonporous, so pigments slide right off them. You can expect them to maintain their original beauty for a long time!
Understanding the Cost of Veneers

The cost of veneers depends on a few factors, such as your oral health and the number of veneers you require. During your consultation, we can share a customized price estimate and help you understand your payment options. Although veneers often cost more than other cosmetic treatments, you can view them as an excellent value. The confidence, longevity, and beauty that they deliver make them a smart investment for anyone who wants to look their best!
Veneers FAQs
Are Veneers Permanent?
A set of veneers can last for a very long time. We cannot say that this treatment is technically “permanent” because your veneers are very likely to need replacement at some point down the road.
However, veneers can be considered permanent in a different sense. During the preparation phase of treatment, we may have to remove a bit of enamel from your teeth. The enamel will not regrow on its own, so you will always need veneers or another type of restoration to protect your vulnerable teeth.
How Can I Find a Dentist that Does Veneers Near Me?
If you do a simple Google search for “veneers near me,” you will find plenty of dentists in the Boston area who offer this service. All of your options might seem a bit overwhelming!
Narrow down your choices by considering things like:
- A practice’s reviews and before and after photos.
- The type of technology that the practice uses. (For example, you may choose one that utilizes digital design software to let you preview your veneers.)
- The experience and training of the dentists in the practice.
Can Veneers Fix Crooked Teeth?
Veneers are sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics” because in some cases, they can hide dental misalignment. For example, they might be able to disguise a minor open bite or make slightly crooked teeth appear straighter.
However, veneers do not actually move the teeth, so if your misalignment is threatening your oral health, you may need to get braces or clear aligners to correct it prior to getting veneers.
Will I Still Be Able to Drink Coffee with Veneers?
Veneers are usually made of porcelain, which is a nonporous material. Pigments usually slide right off it! Therefore, you should be able to enjoy coffee in moderation without worrying that it will cause stains.
Of course, veneers are not totally stain-proof, so it is important to exercise good judgement. Try not to overindulge in highly pigmented beverages. Some people also choose to drink coffee through a straw so as to minimize its contact with their teeth. Keeping up with oral hygiene and drinking lots of water can help your veneers to stay looking their best for many years.
How Many Veneers Do I Need?
The number of veneers you need depends on your unique circumstances. Some patients get just one veneer to cover a single tooth whose appearance bothers them. Others invest in a full set of 6 – 8 or more veneers that covers all the teeth that are visible when they smile. While veneers are often placed just on the top teeth, it is also possible to place them on the bottom teeth.
