A Brighter Look That Feels Like You
A Smile That Reflects Your Confidence
You’re clearer about what you want now, and you carry yourself with a confidence that feels earned. Still, when you look closely, small uneven edges or slight spaces between teeth may catch your attention and quietly pull focus, even if no one else sees them the way you do.
You want a smile that looks intentionally elevated. Dr. Howard and Dr. Pauline guide you through a carefully planned veneer process designed to upgrade your smile with precision and artistry, so what you see in the mirror finally aligns with how you feel stepping into every room.
What Starts To Feel Different
Smiling Comes Naturally
Veneers correct chips, uneven edges, and discoloration all at once. The small distractions that once made you hesitate simply aren’t there anymore. When the details feel resolved, smiling stops being something you manage and becomes something that just happens.
Being Seen Feels Comfortable
Balanced proportions and intentional color make your smile feel complete. That visual harmony reduces self-consciousness in close conversations, meetings, and photos.
The Mirror Feels Kinder
When teeth are reshaped with careful planning, the overall expression softens and strengthens at the same time, which makes it easier to embrace.
How we bring your new smile to life
Step 1: You Share Your Vision
Your veneers begin with a consultation with Dr. Howard or Dr. Pauline, where the focus is on what you see and what you’d like to improve. We evaluate your bite as a whole, study how your teeth fit together, and consider your facial shape to ensure your new smile feels balanced and intentional.
We’ll take impressions and detailed photos, including what we call “interview photos”, so you can clearly preview the direction of your new smile. This planning phase ensures your veneers don’t just look beautiful on their own, but truly complement your features.
Step 2: Your Smile Is Prepared Thoughtfully
A thin layer of enamel is gently refined so your veneers bond securely and sit seamlessly. This preparation is conservative and carefully controlled.
We partner with trusted dental laboratories known for exceptional porcelain craftsmanship. Every detail, from contour to shade, is customized specifically for you, so the final result looks beautifully balanced.
Step 3: You Approve, Then We Secure It
Before permanent placement, you’ll wear temporary veneers for about a week. This gives you time to live with your new smile, see it in natural light, and make sure it feels exactly right.
Once you’re confident, your final veneers are bonded using a precise curing process that strengthens the attachment and ensures long-term durability. With proper care, they’re designed to stay bright and strong for many years.
Keeping Them Beautiful
Caring for veneers feels very similar to caring for natural teeth. A soft-bristled toothbrush, non-abrasive toothpaste, and routine professional checkups with Dr. Pauline and Dr. Howard will help preserve their finish. If you clench or grind, we may recommend a protective nightguard to support long-term durability.
Let’s Clear Up the Confusion
Myth: Your Teeth Need To Be Shaved Down To Nubs
It’s completely normal to worry about damaging healthy teeth. You may have heard that veneers require shaving teeth down to tiny “nubs.” In reality, veneer preparation typically involves removing only a very small amount of enamel, often just a fraction of a millimeter.
Our priority is preserving your natural tooth structure. If we ever believe veneers would compromise your teeth, we’ll be honest and guide you toward a better option. Your long-term dental health always comes first.
Myth: Veneers Make Your Smile Look Fake
No one wants a smile that looks obvious or unnatural. The good news is that modern veneers are carefully designed to complement your features, skin tone, and existing teeth. When done thoughtfully, veneers don’t look artificial; they look like a refreshed, confident version of you.
Myth: Veneers Are Fragile And Can Be Damaged Easily
You want something that lasts, not something you have to constantly worry about. Porcelain veneers are durable and built for everyday use. With proper care, they can last many years. Like natural teeth, they’re not indestructible. With the right care, you can enjoy your results with confidence.
If It’s Been On Your Mind, Trust That
Wanting to feel confident when you speak, laugh, or walk into a room isn’t vanity, it’s alignment. Dr. Howard and Dr. Pauline are here to guide you through a thoughtful, well-planned process that leads to real change without pressure or guesswork.
When you’re ready to explore what’s possible, schedule a consultation and take the first step toward a smile that finally feels like it fits the person you’ve become.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With healthy habits and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers often last 10 years or longer. Longevity depends on bite forces, grinding habits, and overall oral health.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Preparation is minimal and performed with local anesthesia for comfort. Most patients describe the process as easier than expected.
Will veneers look too white?
No. Shade and translucency are selected carefully to complement your complexion and surrounding teeth. The intention is natural enhancement, not an artificial appearance.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
They can visually improve mild misalignment or uneven spacing. If crowding is significant, orthodontic treatment may be recommended first.
Are veneers permanent?
Because a small amount of enamel is refined, veneers are considered a long-term treatment. They are designed to remain in place and may need replacement after many years of use.
