Dental Veneers in New Braunfels, TX

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front of teeth. They improve the look of chipped, stained, worn, or uneven teeth, blending seamlessly with your natural smile. They are a subtle change with a significant impact.

We offer porcelain and composite resin veneers. Porcelain offers higher durability, minimized gum irritation, and stain resistance, while composite is more affordable and quickly applied. Both enhance smiles beautifully with natural-looking results.

The veneer procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires little enamel removal. It delivers dramatic, long-lasting cosmetic improvements to boost confidence and dental function.

01.

The Initial Veneer Process

Initial Consultation

Your dentist evaluates your oral health and discusses your aesthetic goals. They will determine if veneers are the right solution or if other treatments (like bonding or orthodontics) might be more suitable.

Tooth Preparation

A small amount of enamel (usually less than 0.5 mm) is removed from the front surface to prepare your teeth. This ensures the veneer sits flush with the rest of the teeth and looks natural.

Impressions and Shade Matching

After preparation, your dentist takes impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental lab. They also select a shade that best matches your natural teeth or achieves your desired brightness.

Temporary Veneers

While the permanent veneers are being crafted (usually 1–2 weeks), temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and preview your new smile.

Placing Final Veneers and Aftercare

Final Veneer Placement

At the final appointment, the dentist checks the fit and color of the veneers, makes adjustments if needed, and bonds them to the teeth using a strong dental adhesive. A special curing light hardens the cement quickly.

Follow-Up and Care

A follow-up visit ensures the veneers are correctly fitted, and you adjust well. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help ensure long-lasting results—typically 10 to 15 years or more. This can also vary depending on the material used (porcelain or composite).
