A digital mockup shows you your projected smile before a single tooth is prepped. Smile Center Dentistry previews your result digitally before any enamel is touched.
A rushed veneer case is how patients end up with a smile that doesn't match their face. We'd rather spend extra time on the mockup stage than redo a finished case.
You'll see a mockup of your projected smile before we prep a single tooth, so there are no surprises. We walk through the mockup together, not just email you a file to review alone.
Not every case needs aggressive tooth reduction — we explain what your specific teeth actually require. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
Composite can often be done in a single visit; porcelain takes longer but resists staining better — we explain both honestly. Neither material is universally 'better' — the right choice depends on your goals and budget.
We don't consider the case finished until the fit and color are right, not just acceptable. Shade matching is checked in natural light, not just under the exam lamp.
The right material and number of veneers depend on what you're trying to correct.
Custom-shaded in a dental lab to match — or intentionally brighten — your natural smile. Typically requires two visits: prep and impressions, then bonding.
A more affordable, reversible option for patients who want results without committing to porcelain. We explain the shorter lifespan honestly compared to porcelain.
This step lets you request adjustments — length, shape, brightness — before we touch your teeth. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
We match a single veneer carefully to your surrounding natural teeth so it doesn't stand out. Ideal for isolated damage rather than an overall smile makeover.
For patients addressing multiple teeth at once, we plan shape, shade, and symmetry across the full arch. We stage complex cases in phases when that better serves the outcome.
For minor chips or gaps, cosmetic bonding can sometimes achieve a similar look without committing to a veneer. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.
We ask what you'd like to change about your smile when you book, so the consult is focused.
We create a digital mockup of your projected result for you to review and adjust.
Temporary veneers are placed while your custom ones are fabricated.
We confirm you're happy with the result before you leave the chair.
"The digital mockup let me request a slightly different shape before they touched my teeth. Ended up exactly how I pictured it."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Full smile makeover took a few visits but they staged it so I wasn't without teeth at any point."
"Minimal-prep option kept more of my natural tooth intact, which mattered to me."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
Lifespan depends on material and habits like grinding — we discuss realistic expectations at your consult. A nightguard can extend lifespan significantly for patients who grind their teeth.
Tooth preparation is done with local anesthesia when needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort. We check comfort throughout the procedure rather than assuming it's fine.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. This step exists specifically so nothing is a surprise once we start.
We walk through both honestly so you choose based on your budget and timeline, not upselling. Both can look excellent — the difference is mostly longevity and cost.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve most of your enamel; traditional porcelain requires some reduction, which we explain case by case. Enamel removed for veneers doesn't grow back, which is why we're careful about how much we take.
Cost depends on material and how many teeth are involved — we give a specific quote after your design consult. We'd rather you understand the full cost before starting than be surprised partway through.
