Veneers Houston

Veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment for patients who want a dramatic transformation with minimal invasiveness. Benefits of veneers include:

• A brighter, whiter smile in just a few visits
  
  
• Natural tooth appearance with custom shading and shape
  
  
• Stain-resistant material (especially with porcelain veneers)
  
  
• Long-lasting and durable results
  
  
• No major surgery or recovery time required
  

Whether you're preparing for a big life event or just want to feel more confident about your smile, veneers provide a powerful solution.

At Empire Dental, your veneer journey begins with a personalized consultation. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: We evaluate your smile goals and ensure veneers are the right solution for your needs.
   
   
2. Digital Imaging: Using advanced technology, we scan and photograph your teeth to design veneers that suit your facial structure.
   
   
3. Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel may be removed to make space for the veneer.
   
   
4. Veneer Placement: Once fabricated, your veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth using strong, light-cured dental cement.
   
   
5. Final Adjustments: We check bite alignment and polish your new smile for a smooth, natural finish.
   

Veneers can be combined with other treatments like teeth whitening to complete your transformation. Explore our full cosmetic dentistry offerings to see what’s possible.

At Empire Dental, we offer two types of veneers, each with its own benefits:

• Porcelain Veneers
  
  
  • Highly durable and stain-resistant
    
    
  • Most natural-looking due to their translucency
    
    
  • Typically last 10–15 years with proper care
    
    
  • Require a bit more enamel removal
    
    
• Composite Veneers
  
  
  • More affordable than porcelain
    
    
  • Can often be placed in a single visit
    
    
  • Typically last 5–7 years
    
    
  • Easier to repair if damaged
    

Not sure which option is best? During your consultation, we’ll recommend the ideal material based on your goals, budget, and smile characteristics.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers are an excellent option if you're looking for a fast, effective way to improve your smile. You may be a good candidate if you have:

• Deep tooth discoloration that whitening can’t resolve
  
  
• Small gaps or mild misalignment
  
  
• Teeth that are uneven, misshaped, or worn
  
  
• Chipped or slightly cracked teeth
  

However, veneers may not be suitable if you have untreated gum disease, severe decay, or habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) without using a nightguard. We'll complete a full dental evaluation to ensure you're a good fit before moving forward.

Cost of Veneers in Houston

Veneer pricing depends on the number of teeth treated and the type of material selected. At Empire Dental, we offer both value and flexibility:

• Porcelain veneers typically have a higher upfront cost but last longer and resist staining.
  
  
• Composite veneers offer a more budget-conscious solution with faster placement.
  
  
• We accept most major insurance plans (though cosmetic treatments are often not covered).
  
  
• Flexible financing options are available to make your treatment more affordable.

Veneers FAQs

1. What are dental veneers made of?: Veneers are made from either porcelain or composite resin materials, both designed to mimic the look of natural enamel.
   
   
2. How long do veneers last?: Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years, while composite veneers last 5–7 years with proper care.
   
   
3. Are veneers permanent?: Yes. Veneers require a small amount of enamel removal, making them an irreversible procedure. However, they are long-lasting and durable.
   
   
4. Do veneers hurt?: The procedure is generally painless, and we use local anesthetic as needed. Some mild sensitivity may occur temporarily.
   
   
5. Can veneers fix gaps or crooked teeth?: Yes. Veneers can close small gaps and improve the appearance of minor misalignments without orthodontics.
