Dental veneers in Edmonds are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their color, shape, size, and length. They’re one of the bigger steps in cosmetic dentistry, and they can reshape a smile that whitening or small fixes can’t reach. You’ll know your options and your cost before any work begins.
What are dental veneers?
Veneers cover the visible front surface of a tooth, so the shade and shape you see is the veneer, not the tooth underneath. They come in two materials.
Porcelain veneers
Look the most natural and resist stains well. They need a small amount of enamel removed so they sit flush, which is a permanent change to the tooth.
Composite veneers
Cost less, can often be done in a single visit, and remove little or no enamel, though they don’t last as long as porcelain.

What can veneers fix?
Veneers work well for cosmetic issues on teeth that are otherwise healthy:
If you’re only after a smaller, lower-cost fix for a single chip, it’s worth knowing how bonding compares to veneers before you decide.
What can’t veneers fix?
Veneers are a cosmetic surface treatment, so they’re not the right tool for everything:
When more than one of these is in play, a smile makeover plan can combine treatments in the right order.
What’s the process for getting veneers?
Porcelain veneers usually take two visits.
At the first visit, your dentist plans the look with you and removes a small amount of enamel, usually about half a millimeter, so the veneers sit flush. You’ll get a digital scan or impression and temporary veneers to wear while your permanent set is made. At the second visit, the permanent veneers are bonded in place and adjusted. Composite veneers can often be completed in one visit, since they’re shaped directly onto your teeth.
How long do veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years and composite veneers around 5 to 7 years.
Veneers don’t last forever, so plan for replacement eventually. Regular cleanings, a nightguard if you grind, and easy habits like not biting your nails all help them last.
Because porcelain veneers need a little enamel removed, that change to the tooth stays for good, so the tooth will always need a veneer or similar covering afterward. Your dentist will walk through exactly what your teeth need before you decide.
