Dental Veneers in New Albany, IN
Dental veneers are thin shells that are placed on the front surface of the teeth to hide any flaws and make the teeth appear straight and even. If you have crowding issues, chipped teeth, worn down teeth, or even areas of staining, dental veneers could be a great solution for you! Dental veneers are customizable, meaning that the shade and shape of the veneers can be adjusted to give you your dream smile. Veneers are durable and with proper care, can last for many years before needing replacement or repairs.
Before placing your veneers, we may have to remove a small amount of tooth enamel to make room for them. We’ll then make an impression of your teeth so that we can custom-build your veneers. You’ll return to our office when they are finished, and we’ll bond them to the front of your teeth. We will then make any final adjustments needed to create your great new look.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are incredibly thin shells that are applied on the front surfaces of a person’s teeth. Depending on the style of veneers, the teeth may be prepped first by removing a small amount of enamel. Once installed, the veneers can cover noticeable flaws to make adjustments to alignment. They can also adjust the thickness of them to improve spacing.
They are very easy to apply, requiring preparation of the teeth and then securing them in place with a strong dental adhesive.

What types of dental veneers are available?
The two main types of dental veneers are porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both are good options to help you improve your smile.
Composite veneers are manufactured in-office, using tooth-colored resin, and applied directly to the teeth. They are typically less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, and they work well to cover up many aesthetic problems.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made, out of porcelain, to fit your teeth. These are typically made in a laboratory and sent to our office. We will apply them and ensure they fit your teeth as they should. Porcelain veneers generally last longer because of the stronger material, provide a more natural look, and can fix larger cosmetic issues such as very dark stained teeth or teeth positioned incorrectly.
