Veneers

Dr. Anthony A. Ly

What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth.

Veneers are a great way to whiten, reshape, and realign your smile. They are a minimally invasive cosmetic solution that preserves natural tooth structure compared to crowns.

Veneers provide an ultra-thin yet strong new exterior surface that hides imperfections like stains, cracks, gaps, and chips. They mimic the light reflecting properties of enamel for a natural appearance.

Direct vs. Indirect Veneers

Direct veneers: 

Direct veneers are made chairside by sculpting and curing composite resin onto your teeth. This single-visit method is more affordable but less durable.

Indirect veneers: 

Indirect veneers are custom-fabricated in a dental lab from impressions of your teeth. This requires two visits but provides longer-lasting, higher quality esthetic results. Porcelain and ceramic indirect veneers hold up better over time.

When to Choose Direct Veneers

Direct composite veneers work well for minor issues like:

● Small chips or gaps between teeth
● Mild discoloration or stains
● Temporary smile enhancement
● Teens/children since teeth are still developing

When to Select Indirect Veneers

Indirect porcelain veneers are ideal for:

● Severely stained, discolored or misshapen teeth
● Worn or fractured teeth needing reconstruction
● Permanent smile makeover with 10+ years longevity
● Large cosmetic changes in tooth shape, size, position

Who Benefits from Veneers?

Good candidates for veneers include:

● Those unsatisfied with the color, shape or position of their teeth
● People with worn enamel, irregular teeth or uneven gaps
● Those with stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
● Patients wanting to enhance a smile with small misaligned teeth
● Individuals who desire a dramatic smile makeover

I have been terrified of going to the dentist from horror stories I’ve had since I was a child. This was the most seemless, and pleasant experience I’ve ever had. The doctor went over everything with me extremely comprehensively and what to expect. He also prefers conservative medicine, and works diligently to save your teeth. And I was in and out with having an exam, radiographs, and a cavity filled within an hour and a half. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

This place is AMAZING! I wish I could give 10 stars. I would like to first state that the front desk receptionist was VERY kind. The wonderful lady who took care of my insurance information and payment today was so kind! Dr. Ly, was truly kind, compassionate, and so very knowledgeable. He was so gentle but honest about my situation and I really appreciate how thorough he was. Then the amazing Jackie who took care of my dental work. She was so thorough, kind, patient, and very honest the whole step of the way. Literally, when she was finished I had to hug her and I cried. I cried because I was so nervous, and she took such good care of me. When I looked in that mirror my mouth dropped. Seriously, this place was amazing! Everyone was so nice. Even the sweet lady who took my x-rays. I'm so thankful God blessed me with this FANTASTIC dental office. I have NEVER experienced this kind of service. They definitely, go above and beyond! Sending the whole staff ((HUGS)) -Tiffany

I love this dentist! I've followed him as his practice was displaced by the hurricane. I've had a few cavities filled and he's very gentle. If at all possible, I won't let anyone else in my mouth!
