Dental Veneers in Houston, TX
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, staining, or uneven shape — giving you a brighter, more uniform smile that lasts for years.
About Dental Veneers
Each veneer is custom-crafted to match the shape and shade you want, then permanently bonded to the front surface of your tooth. Because they’re designed around your smile goals, veneers can address several cosmetic concerns — color, shape, spacing — at once.
Why Patients Choose Veneers
A complete, long-lasting smile transformation.
With proper care, veneers can last a decade or more.
Porcelain resists discoloration from coffee, tea, and wine.
Each veneer is shaped and shaded specifically for you.
Veneers: What to Expect
How long do dental veneers last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years before they need to be replaced. Composite veneers usually last 4 to 8 years.
Is getting veneers painful?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. A small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth to make room for the veneer, and a local anesthetic is used if needed, so the process is generally well-tolerated.
Am I a good candidate for veneers?
Good candidates have generally healthy teeth and gums, since veneers bond to the existing tooth structure rather than replace it. Active gum disease, significant decay, or a heavily worn bite usually needs to be addressed first.
Porcelain vs. composite veneers: what’s the difference?
Porcelain veneers resist staining, closely mimic natural tooth enamel, and typically last longer, but require two visits since they’re custom-made in a dental lab. Composite veneers cost less and can often be completed in a single visit, but they’re more prone to staining and typically need replacing sooner.
Can I get veneers on just one tooth?
Yes. Veneers can be placed on a single chipped or discolored tooth, or across several front teeth for a full smile makeover — it depends on your goals.
How do I take care of veneers?
Brush and floss as you normally would. Avoid using veneered teeth to bite into very hard foods (ice, hard candy) or open packaging, and if you grind your teeth at night, a nightguard will help protect them.
