What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing their appearance. They are bonded to your teeth, creating a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for various dental imperfections. Veneers can treat a range of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Worn down, chipped, or broken teeth
- Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
- Gaps between teeth
The Many Benefits of Veneers
Choosing veneers offers several advantages over other cosmetic dental treatments, providing a balance of aesthetics, functionality, and durability. Benefits include:
- Aesthetic Transformation: Veneers offer an immediate improvement in the appearance of your smile, with results that look and feel natural.
- Minimal Tooth Alteration: Unlike crowns, which require significant reshaping of the entire tooth, veneers involve minimal alteration, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durability and Stain Resistance: Veneers are made from materials that resist staining and can last many years with proper care, maintaining their brightness and appearance.
- Versatility: Veneers can address multiple cosmetic issues at once, from color to shape and spacing, providing a comprehensive solution to enhancing your smile.
Veneers vs. Crowns
While both veneers and crowns enhance the appearance and function of your teeth, veneers offer a distinct advantage in terms of convenience and preservation of tooth structure. Veneers typically require less removal of the tooth surface, making them a less invasive option. They are ideal for patients looking to correct cosmetic issues without the need for more extensive dental work that crowns may require.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. Made from porcelain or composite resin, they improve the appearance of your smile by correcting a variety of dental issues, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment.
What types of veneers does Kevin Herring, DDS offer?

- Zirconia Veneers: Ideal for teeth that require additional strength, Zirconia Veneers are incredibly durable while offering a natural appearance.
How do veneers improve my smile?
Veneers can address a wide range of dental imperfections, including:
- Discoloration that can't be corrected with whitening
- Chips or cracks in teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Mild misalignment that doesn't require orthodontic treatment
By covering these imperfections, veneers create a uniform, whiter, and more aesthetically pleasing smile.
How are veneers applied?
The process typically involves three main steps:
- Consultation and Planning: Dr. Herring will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of veneers for you.
- Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front of your teeth to accommodate the veneer, and an impression is taken.
- Application: Once your custom veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a semi-permanent solution. While they can last many years with proper care, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain veneers, for example, can last up to 10-15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Do veneers require special care?
Veneers do not require special care beyond good oral hygiene practices. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental checkups are essential to maintain both your veneers and natural teeth. Avoiding hard foods and not using your teeth as tools can also prolong the life of your veneers.
Are veneers better than crowns?
Veneers and crowns serve different purposes. Veneers are primarily used for cosmetic improvements, covering the front surface of the tooth. Crowns encase the entire tooth and are used for teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed. Veneers are a less invasive option when the primary goal is to enhance the appearance of your smile.
How do I know if veneers are right for me?
The best way to determine if veneers are the right option for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kevin Herring. During the consultation, we'll discuss your cosmetic goals, evaluate your oral health, and recommend the best treatment plan to achieve your desired outcome.
What is the cost of veneers?
The cost of veneers varies depending on the type of veneers selected and the number of veneers needed. At Kevin Herring, DDS, we strive to make cosmetic dentistry accessible and offer various financing options to fit your budget. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed cost estimate based on your personalized treatment plan.
