Understanding Veneers
Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth. They’re crafted from durable porcelain or composite resin and permanently bonded to your natural teeth. Veneers effectively address various cosmetic issues, including discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments.

Comprehensive Evaluation
We start with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Our dentists discuss your smile goals and assess your oral health to ensure veneers are the right option for you. We use advanced imaging technology to get a detailed view of your teeth structure and plan your treatment accordingly.
Custom Design and Planning
Based on your evaluation, we create a personalized veneer design. Our team uses digital smile design software to show you a preview of your new smile. We consider factors like your facial features, skin tone, and existing teeth to create veneers that complement your unique appearance.
Precise Preparation
We carefully prepare your teeth for veneer placement. This step involves removing a minimal amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout this process. Impressions of your prepared teeth are then taken to create your custom veneers.
Expert Placement
Once your custom veneers are ready, we bond them to your teeth with strong dental adhesives. Our skilled dentists meticulously adjust each veneer to ensure proper fit, bite alignment, and overall aesthetics. We check your new smile from multiple angles to guarantee a natural look and feel.
Personalized Aftercare
After your veneers are placed, we provide detailed care instructions. We guide you on proper brushing techniques, recommend suitable oral care products, and advise on habits to avoid. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your veneers and address any concerns promptly.

FAQs About Veneers
What are veneers?
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that look and feel just like your natural teeth. Typically used to change the appearance of your smile, veneers also protect against further tooth damage and add strength to your teeth. The team may recommend veneers if you have:
- A cracked tooth
- Tooth discoloration
- Misshapen teeth
- A tooth gap
- Crooked teeth
- A fractured tooth
When cared for properly, veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, making them the perfect option for patients who want to change their smile without undergoing serious dental work.
How are veneers placed?
To ensure your veneers mold to your teeth perfectly, you will typically need to schedule two appointments with your provider. At the first appointment, they will clean your damaged or discolored tooth and determine the correct shade for your veneer. Next, they will remove a small portion of the enamel to make room for the veneer, so it doesn’t look bulky.
The team will then take impressions of your tooth, which are sent off to the lab for fabrication. While you wait for your new veneer, the Newport Dental team will fit you for a temporary veneer. It takes approximately two weeks for your custom veneers to be created and sent back to the office.
At your second appointment, the temporary veneer is removed. The team will then clean your tooth and pumice it to prepare for your permanent veneer. Once your tooth is fully prepared, your provider uses an adhesive and a special solution to cement the veneer to your tooth, molding it to fit in with the shape and length of the rest of your teeth. Before you leave, the team will light-cure your veneer for about one minute and polish the new restoration.
How do I care for my veneers at home?
You care for veneers just like your natural teeth. In addition to brushing twice a day and flossing regularly, the Newport Dental team recommends fluoride toothpaste for cleaning veneers. It is also wise to limit your intake of food and drinks that cause tooth stains, such as coffee, black tea, red wine, and dark berries. While porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, you may notice discoloration over time.
With the team’s expertise, dental veneers can help you achieve the smile of your dreams. For more information on veneers, call Newport Dental or book an appointment online today.
How long do veneers last?
Veneers typically serve you well for 10-15 years. Their longevity hinges on your daily habits and oral care routine. Regular visits to Newport Dental, coupled with good home care, can maximize the lifespan of your veneers.
Are veneers permanent?
While not permanent, veneers offer a long-lasting smile enhancement. The process involves minimal tooth alteration, which is irreversible. When needed, we can replace your veneers, allowing you to maintain your improved smile indefinitely.
Does insurance cover veneers?
Insurance companies often categorize veneers as cosmetic, typically excluding them from coverage. Some plans may offer partial benefits if veneers address a medical need. We suggest reaching out to your insurer for specifics on your policy’s veneer coverage.
Can you eat with pop on veneers?
Pop-on veneers require removal during meals, as they’re not built for chewing forces. In contrast, our permanent porcelain veneers at Newport Dental integrate seamlessly with your bite. Once we bond them in place, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
Do veneers hurt?
Veneer placement at Newport Dental is designed for your comfort. We use targeted anesthesia during preparation to ensure a pain-free experience. Post-procedure, you might notice brief temperature sensitivity, but this fades quickly as you adjust to your new smile.
