Request an AppointmentWhat Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are typically crafted from porcelain because it is strong, highly stain resistant, and reflects light much like natural tooth enamel. Each veneer is shaped to fit your tooth precisely. You can choose a single veneer to correct one tooth, several veneers for a group of teeth, or a full set to completely transform your smile.
Problems Veneers Can Correct
- Worn teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Misshapen or malformed teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Yellow, stained, or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
- Teeth that appear too short or too small
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
- Natural-looking, lifelike results
- Excellent stain resistance compared to natural enamel and bonding
- Durable results that can last 10 to 15 years or longer
- A conservative alternative to crowns for many cosmetic concerns
- Customized shape, size, and shade for your ideal smile
The Veneer Process
Consultation and planning: Dr. Hung will discuss your goals, examine your teeth and gums, and make sure any decay or gum disease is treated first. Images from our intraoral camera and precise records from iTero® digital scanning help plan your new smile.
Preparation: A very thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the front of the tooth so the veneer sits naturally and doesn’t look bulky. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable.
Placement: Your custom veneers are checked for fit and color, then permanently bonded with a strong resin and polished to a natural shine. With efficient planning, many patients can complete their veneers quickly, making them a great option before a wedding, reunion, or other special occasion.
Caring for Your Veneers
Brush twice daily, floss every day, and keep up with your regular cleanings and exams. Avoid biting hard objects like ice and pens, and wear a custom night guard if you grind your teeth.
Veneers or Another Option?
For minor flaws, dental bonding may be a more affordable choice, and for staining alone, teeth whitening may be all you need. Veneers can also be part of a comprehensive smile makeover. Dr. Hung will help you choose what’s right for you. Ask about financing.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers in Woodinville
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Porcelain reflects light like natural enamel, and each veneer is custom shaped and color-matched to your smile.
Are veneers permanent?
Because a thin layer of enamel is removed, veneers are considered an irreversible treatment. Your teeth will always need a veneer or other restoration in the future.
Does getting veneers hurt?
No. Local anesthesia is used during preparation, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.
Can veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly stain resistant, though the bonding edges can pick up some stain over time. Regular cleanings keep them looking bright.
Can I get just one veneer?
Yes. A single veneer can correct one chipped or discolored tooth, and Dr. Hung will match it carefully to your surrounding teeth.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Veneers are usually considered cosmetic and aren’t covered by most insurance plans. We offer flexible financing options through CareCredit® and Cherry.
