A digital mockup shows you your projected smile before a single tooth is prepped. Smile Center Dentistry previews your result digitally before any enamel is touched.
Veneers are permanent once enamel is removed, so we make sure you approve the design first. Proportions that work on a screen don't always translate — we check the design against your actual face and smile line.
We adjust shape and shade digitally until you approve it, not after the veneers are already made. Adjustments at the mockup stage cost nothing; changes after fabrication are a different story.
Not every case needs aggressive tooth reduction — we explain what your specific teeth actually require. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
We walk through the durability, cost, and appearance trade-offs between porcelain and composite before you choose. Neither material is universally 'better' — the right choice depends on your goals and budget.
We don't consider the case finished until the fit and color are right, not just acceptable. We'd rather remake one veneer than have you live with a mismatch.
Not every smile concern needs the same veneer approach — here's what we offer after your design consult.
Custom-shaded in a dental lab to match — or intentionally brighten — your natural smile. Typically requires two visits: prep and impressions, then bonding.
A more affordable, reversible option for patients who want results without committing to porcelain. We explain the shorter lifespan honestly compared to porcelain.
We use digital imaging to preview your projected smile shape and shade before any prep work begins. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
We match a single veneer carefully to your surrounding natural teeth so it doesn't stand out. Ideal for isolated damage rather than an overall smile makeover.
A full-arch case gets extra planning time to ensure every veneer works together, not just individually. We stage complex cases in phases when that better serves the outcome.
For minor chips or gaps, cosmetic bonding can sometimes achieve a similar look without committing to a veneer. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.

You approve shape and shade before any tooth preparation happens.
Minimal tooth preparation, followed by impressions or a digital scan sent to the lab.
Your finished veneers are bonded and checked for fit, bite, and shade match.
"Seeing my projected smile on a screen before committing made the whole decision so much easier."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Porcelain veneers three years in and they still look like the day I got them."
"Minimal-prep option kept more of my natural tooth intact, which mattered to me."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
Lifespan depends on material and habits like grinding — we discuss realistic expectations at your consult. A nightguard can extend lifespan significantly for patients who grind their teeth.
Tooth preparation is done with local anesthesia when needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Any mild sensitivity afterward typically resolves within a few days.
Yes — our digital smile design mockup shows your projected result before any prep work begins. We can adjust the mockup as many times as needed until you're satisfied.
Porcelain is more durable and stain-resistant but costs more and takes longer; composite is faster and cheaper but wears sooner. Both can look excellent — the difference is mostly longevity and cost.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve most of your enamel; traditional porcelain requires some reduction, which we explain case by case. Enamel removed for veneers doesn't grow back, which is why we're careful about how much we take.
Cost depends on material and how many teeth are involved — we give a specific quote after your design consult. We'd rather you understand the full cost before starting than be surprised partway through.
