Are you looking to fix chips, stains, or gaps in your smile? Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers, may be the ideal cosmetic solution. These wafer-thin, custom-made shells are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance and create a natural, confident smile.

At Bassett Creek Dental in Golden Valley, we help patients achieve long-lasting smile transformations using dental veneers that are both durable and beautifully designed.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin shells—typically made of porcelain or composite—that are bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers are used to correct a variety of cosmetic dental concerns, including:

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Stained or discolored teeth
• Mild misalignment
• Worn-down or uneven teeth
• Gaps between teeth

Veneers are strong, stain-resistant, and custom-crafted to match the natural shade and shape of your teeth. They offer a permanent solution for enhancing your smile with minimal alteration to your natural tooth.

The Dental Veneer Process: What to Expect

Thinking about veneers? Here’s how the process typically works at Bassett Creek Dental:

Visit 1: Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a cosmetic dentistry consultation at our Golden Valley clinic. During this visit, we’ll examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine whether veneers are the best solution. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and help you choose the right shade and shape for your veneers.

Visit 2: Preparation and Temporary Veneers

Before your veneers are placed, a small amount of enamel (about 0.5 mm) will be removed from the surface of the tooth. This ensures a seamless fit. We’ll then take final impressions, which are sent to the dental lab to create your custom veneers—a process that typically takes 2–4 weeks.

In the meantime, we may place temporary veneers to protect your teeth.

Visit 3: Veneer Placement

Once your veneers are ready, we’ll clean and prepare your teeth by etching the surface to help the veneers bond securely. A strong dental cement is used to attach the veneers, and a special light hardens the material quickly.

We’ll check your bite, make adjustments, and remove any excess bonding material. Most patients leave with an immediate smile upgrade.

Follow-Up Visit (If Needed)

We may recommend a short follow-up appointment to ensure your gums are responding well and your veneers are feeling comfortable.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Dental veneers are a great option for many adults looking to improve their smile. Ideal candidates have healthy teeth and gums and are looking for a permanent cosmetic solution.

If you grind your teeth, have untreated cavities, or prefer a non-permanent option, we may suggest alternatives such as dental bonding or crowns.
