Imagine catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and seeing a flawless, confident smile looking back at you. Dental veneers make this dream a reality by transforming your teeth’s appearance with minimal alteration to your natural tooth structure. At Dental Wellness of Lexington, you deserve a smile that you’re proud to show off.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are a cosmetic dental solution consisting of thin, custom-made shells crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth. These veneers are typically made of porcelain or composite resin, chosen for their durability and realistic appearance. Whether you wish to address chipped, discolored or uneven teeth, veneers allow you to optimize your smile with precision and artistry.
What Are The Benefits of Veneers?
- Immediate Aesthetic Improvement: With veneers, you can address multiple cosmetic concerns, including color, shape, and alignment, all in one procedure.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers, in particular, are resistant to common stains from coffee, tea and smoking so that you keep your smile brighter over time.
- Durable and Long-lasting: With proper care, your veneers can last over a decade, making them a worthwhile investment in your oral health.
- Minimally Invasive: Veneers offer you significant cosmetic enhancement without extensive dental work, preserving most of the natural tooth structure.
What Is The Veneer Application Process?
Your journey to a new smile begins with a personalized consultation at our Lexington office. One of our qualified team members will assess your dental health, discuss your goals and create a customized treatment plan that complements your smile.
The application process involves removing a thin layer of enamel from the teeth’s surface to make room for the veneers. Precise molds of your teeth guarantee a custom fit, and your veneers will be carefully bonded to your teeth, creating a seamless and natural appearance.

We Believe In Smiling In Family Pictures
Porcelain veneers are not considered permanent, as they need to be replaced every so often. However, they do require altering your natural teeth, which is irreversible. Once you get veneers, you will need to maintain them throughout your life. With proper care, they can last multiple decades, so replacements are infrequent.
Yes, veneers can effectively correct gaps between your teeth. They are custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth, and when designed slightly wider, they fill small gaps creating the illusion of a perfectly aligned smile without orthodontic treatment.
What Should I Know About Eating And Drinking With Veneers?
Once your permanent veneers are placed, you can enjoy most foods. However, to extend their lifespan, it’s best to avoid hard candies and excessively stained foods and beverages, like coffee and red wine, as these can impact their appearance over time.
Veneers are made from porcelain, which is a non-porous material and resistant to stains. This means they preserve their bright appearance for longer without the need for whitening treatments, which do not work on veneers.
Veneers only cover the front surface of the tooth and are primarily used for cosmetic improvements, such as fixing chips, cracks or gaps, while crowns cover the entire tooth and are used for restorative purposes to strengthen a tooth damaged by decay or trauma.
