What Are Veneers?

- Immediate Results: Transform your smile in just two appointments
- Stain-Resistant: Veneers maintain their appearance for years
- Natural Look: Translucent properties mimic your natural tooth enamel
- Durable: With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or longer
- Minimally Invasive: Preserves most of your natural tooth structure
