request an appointmentUsing a resin material, we can place thin shells called dental veneers on your teeth to improve the appearance of your smile. Dental veneers are custom made to match your tooth’s shape. They are also typically made out of porcelain, because porcelain is a stain-resistant material and a good match to your teeth’s natural color. You can have a singular veneer for one tooth or several for multiple teeth, or you can choose enough veneers to transform your entire smile.
Dental veneers can be used for a variety of dental issues, such as
- Teeth that are worn
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth that are malformed
- Teeth that have gaps
- Teeth that are yellow or stained
You can often receive your dental veneers in just one appointment. If you have a special occasion coming up or would like to renovate your smile, cosmetic dental veneers are an excellent option.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers in Woodinville
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells of dental-grade ceramic permanently bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They transform the color, shape, size, and overall appearance of your smile. At Oasis Family Dentistry, veneers are customized to complement your facial features and look completely natural.
What dental problems can veneers fix?
Veneers can address severely stained or discolored teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, minor misalignment, uneven or irregular tooth shape, and gaps between teeth. For comprehensive smile transformations, veneers can be combined with other treatments as part of a smile redesign.
How long do dental veneers last?
High-quality porcelain veneers can last 10 to 20 years or more with proper care. Attending regular dental cleanings and exams, brushing and flossing daily, and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth will help extend the lifespan of your veneers.
Does getting veneers hurt?
The veneer process involves minimal discomfort. A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the tooth surface to ensure a proper fit. Local anesthesia is used during this step to keep you comfortable. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after placement, which typically resolves on its own.
Are veneers reversible?
Because a thin layer of enamel is permanently removed to place traditional porcelain veneers, the process is not fully reversible. This is why it is important to carefully discuss your options with our team at Oasis Family Dentistry before committing. We’ll make sure veneers are the right long-term solution for your smile goals.
How many visits does it take to get veneers?
The veneer process typically requires two to three visits. The first appointment involves a consultation and tooth preparation. Temporary veneers are placed while your custom veneers are fabricated. At the final visit, the permanent veneers are bonded to your teeth and adjusted for a perfect fit and bite.
How do I care for my veneers?
Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss regularly, and avoid biting hard objects like ice or fingernails. Routine checkups at Oasis Family Dentistry allow our team to monitor the condition of your veneers and keep your smile looking its best.
