Porcelain Veneers & Lumineers

What veneers can fix

Veneers are one of the most versatile tools in cosmetic dentistry. A single appointment plan can address:

• Chipped, worn, or broken teeth
• Permanent stains that don't respond to whitening
• Gaps between teeth
• Teeth that are too small or oddly shaped
• Slight crookedness that doesn't warrant orthodontics

Veneers vs. Lumineers

Traditional porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed so the veneer sits flush. Lumineers are ultra-thin (roughly the thickness of a contact lens) and can often be bonded with little to no enamel reduction — making them a reversible option for many patients.

Dr. Tiet is trained in both, and will recommend whichever is the best fit for your case.

The veneer process at our office

1. Consultation & smile design — we discuss what you want, study your face and bite, and design a smile that fits you.
2. Tooth preparation — for traditional veneers, a thin layer of enamel is gently reshaped.
3. Digital impression — using a 3M intraoral scanner instead of goopy trays.
4. Temporary veneers — so you leave looking great while your customs are made.
5. Final placement — your custom veneers are bonded in place, polished, and adjusted to your bite.
