How it usually goes

  1. Pick the color — We choose a resin shade for your smile.

  2. Prepare the teeth — The surface is lightly roughened so the resin sticks.

  3. Shape and polish — We add the resin, harden it with a light, then polish.

Quick questions

What is a direct composite veneer?

Tooth-colored resin shaped right on the front of the tooth in the office.

Is it the same as a porcelain veneer?

No. A porcelain veneer is made in a lab. Composite is shaped by hand in the chair.

How many visits does it take?

Often just one. Every smile is different, so we'll talk it through first.

Every smile is different. An exam tells us what's right for you.
