Veneers
Transform Your Smile with Natural-Looking Perfection
A stunning smile can boost confidence, enhance facial aesthetics, and make a lasting impression. At Gramercy Dental Group, we offer veneers as a long-lasting, minimally invasive cosmetic solution to transform your teeth into a radiant, picture-perfect smile. Whether you have discolored, chipped, misaligned, or unevenly spaced teeth, veneers can provide a beautiful, natural-looking result.
Why choose Veneers?
Veneers offer a versatile and effective solution for a wide range of cosmetic dental concerns, including:
- Stubborn Tooth Discoloration – Covers deep stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments.
- Chipped or Worn Teeth – Restores shape and protects against further damage.
- Gaps Between Teeth – Closes spaces without the need for orthodontics.
- Mild Misalignment – Corrects minor crookedness without braces.
- Uneven or Misshapen Teeth – Creates a more symmetrical, balanced smile.
With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or longer, making them a long-term investment in your smile and self-confidence.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite resin, designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are permanently bonded to the teeth to enhance their shape, size, and color, giving you a flawless smile with long-lasting durability.
Unlike crowns, which cover the entire tooth, veneers only cover the front-facing portion, making them a less invasive option while still providing dramatic cosmetic improvements.
The Veneers Process: Step by Step
Consultation & Smile Design
Your journey to a perfect smile begins with a detailed consultation, where we evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if veneers are right for you. We use advanced imaging technology to design your ideal smile and show a preview of the expected results.
Tooth Preparation
To ensure a perfect fit, a small amount of enamel (usually less than 0.5mm) is gently removed from the front surface of your teeth. This allows the veneers to sit naturally and blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Minimal-prep veneers may be an option for some patients, requiring little to no enamel removal.
Once your teeth are prepared, we take digital impressions to create custom veneers that match the exact color, shape, and proportions of your natural teeth. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent ones are being crafted in a high-quality dental lab.
Custom Veneer Fabrication
Your permanent veneers are created with high-quality porcelain or composite resin, ensuring strength, durability, and a lifelike translucency that mimics natural enamel. Porcelain veneers are particularly popular due to their stain resistance and ability to reflect light like natural teeth.
Veneer Bonding & Final Touches
Once your custom veneers are ready, we carefully bond them to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. We make precise adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and bite alignment, then polish them to create a flawless, natural finish.
After placement, you’ll walk out with a stunning, transformed smile that feels as great as it looks!
Types of Veneers
There are different types of veneers to suit individual needs:
Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin, highly durable, and stain-resistant. They provide the most natural and long-lasting results.
Composite Veneers
Made from tooth-colored resin, these are a more affordable option but may require more maintenance over time.
Minimal-Prep Veneers
Also called “Lumineers,” these require little to no enamel removal, making them a reversible option for some patients.
During your consultation, we’ll help determine which type of veneer is best for your smile goals and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers
Do veneers look natural?
Yes! High-quality veneers are custom-designed to match your natural teeth color, shape, and translucency, making them virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a long-term solution, lasting 10-15 years or longer with proper care. Since a small amount of enamel is removed, the procedure is irreversible.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, unlike natural teeth. Composite veneers can stain over time but can be polished or replaced as needed.
Will veneers affect my speech?
It may take a few days to adjust, but most patients quickly adapt, and speech returns to normal.
How do I care for my veneers?
- Brush twice daily and floss daily to maintain oral health.
- Avoid biting hard objects (like ice or pens) to prevent damage.
- Regular dental checkups help ensure longevity and maintain your new smile.
