What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and are bonded to your teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are an excellent option for addressing a variety of cosmetic dental issues.
Benefits of Veneers:
- Natural Appearance: Veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, providing a realistic and attractive look.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers resist stains better than natural teeth and composite resin veneers.
- Durability: With proper care, veneers can last many years.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure typically requires minimal removal of tooth enamel.
- Versatility: Veneers can correct discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and minor misalignments.
The Veneer Process
At Anthony Leite, DDS, we ensure that the veneer process is thorough and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation:
- Evaluation: During your first visit, we will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if veneers are the right option for you.
- Treatment Planning: We will take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan.
Tooth Preparation:
- Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to accommodate the veneers.
- Impressions: Detailed impressions of your prepared teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab to create your custom veneers.
Veneer Placement:
- Temporary Veneers: While your permanent veneers are being made, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth.
- Fitting: Once your custom veneers are ready, we will check their fit and color, making any necessary adjustments.
- Bonding: The veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive, and any excess material is removed for a perfect finish.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?
You may be a good candidate for veneers if you have:
