Veneers | River Valley Dental

If you want to enhance your teeth' appearance, veneers may be the ideal solution for you. At River Valley Dental, you can say goodbye to your smile's imperfections, from chips and gaps to stains and discoloration.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin that a dentist bonds to the front surface of your teeth. They improve your smile's aesthetics by altering the color, shape, length, or size of your teeth.

The process begins when a dental professional removes a small amount of enamel from your teeth to make room for your veneers. Next, they take impressions of your teeth to create personalized veneers that match your desired outcome.

Once your custom veneers are ready, the dentist bonds them to your teeth using a specialized adhesive, creating a beautiful and long-lasting smile transformation.  

Which Problems Can Veneers Fix?

Veneers are versatile and can address various cosmetic dental concerns, such as:

Discolored teeth
Chipped or broken teeth
Slightly misaligned or uneven teeth
Gaps between teeth
Worn-down teeth

Are Veneers Permanent?

While veneers are considered a permanent dental solution, you may need to replace them from time to time. On average, porcelain veneers last between 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers have a shorter lifespan of about 5 to 7 years.

How to Care for Veneers
