Transform Your Smile With Custom Veneers
Are you unsatisfied with how your teeth look? Teeth that are chipped, stained, or misshapen can take away from an otherwise beautiful smile. Veneers can rejuvenate lackluster teeth and completely transform your smile. At Glades Dental Group in Boca Raton, we use custom porcelain veneers to help patients achieve the bright, natural-looking smile they have always wanted.
Having a great smile can make a huge difference in the way you look and feel. We offer a complete range of cosmetic dentistry treatments to create the confident smile you deserve. The process begins with a detailed smile assessment, during which we discuss the aspects of your smile you like and dislike. Once our assessment is complete, we will talk through treatment options to help your smile look more natural, healthy, and youthful. Veneers are often at the heart of these transformations, offering a conservative yet dramatic way to enhance your appearance.
Ask About Dental Veneers
What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are the most conservative restorations we offer. They consist of a thin strip of porcelain that covers the front side of a tooth. We use porcelain because its color can be closely matched to your natural teeth for a seamless look. Unlike crowns, which cover the entire tooth, veneers require less enamel removal, so most of your original tooth structure stays intact. Rather than replacing your whole tooth, a veneer essentially gives your tooth a new face.
Because they are minimally invasive yet capable of dramatic results, dental veneers are one of the essential tools of cosmetic dentistry. Getting a veneer requires at least two appointments. At the first, the dentist prepares your tooth so the veneer can be placed. A couple of weeks later, the veneer is permanently attached to your tooth, revealing your enhanced smile.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers may be a great option for you if you:
- Have chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Have stains or discoloration that do not respond to whitening
- Have misshapen or unevenly sized teeth
- Have small gaps between your teeth you would like to minimize
- Want a natural-looking, long-lasting cosmetic improvement
- Have generally healthy teeth and gums
A consultation with our dentists is the best way to determine whether veneers are right for you. During your smile assessment, we will evaluate your teeth and discuss how veneers fit into your goals.
What to Expect During Your Veneer Procedure
Getting veneers at Glades Dental Group takes at least two appointments and follows a careful, comfortable process. Here is what you can expect:
Preparing the Tooth
The dentist removes a very small amount of front tooth enamel, usually less than one millimeter, using a rotating device called a dental bur. Because so little enamel is removed, this step may not require local anesthesia.
01
Taking an Impression
The dentist uses a small retraction cord to temporarily move the gums away from the tooth, then has you bite into a tray of paste to create a mold. Your gum line returns to its original position once the impression is complete.
02
Sending to the Lab
After final adjustments, the impression is sent to a dental lab, which crafts your custom veneer over a couple of weeks. You may receive a temporary veneer if a large amount of enamel was removed, though this is not always necessary.
03
Placing the Veneer
At your final appointment, the dentist attaches your personalized veneer, making adjustments so it looks and feels just right. This is the time to share any concerns about the look and feel of your smile.
04
Bonding and Finishing
Once any trimming and refitting is done, the dentist coats the tooth with bonding cement, attaches the veneer, and uses a special blue light to harden the cement and secure it. A final check ensures a snug, comfortable fit.

Why Choose Dental Veneers
Veneers offer a powerful combination of natural beauty and conservative treatment. Here is why patients at our Boca Raton practice choose veneers:
Natural Appearance
Porcelain is color-matched to blend beautifully with your natural teeth.
Minimally Invasive
Veneers require far less enamel removal than crowns.
Versatile Results
They correct chips, stains, misshapen teeth, and more.
Conservative Treatment
Most of your original tooth structure stays intact.
Long-lasting
With proper care, veneers can last over ten years.
A Confident Smile
Veneers can dramatically enhance the beauty of your smile.
Caring for Your Veneers
After your veneer is placed, you will be given special instructions on how to care for it, including a list of foods to avoid. If you grind your teeth at night, you may also need a nightguard to protect your veneer from damage. Carefully following any directions or warnings will help ensure the longest possible lifespan for your veneer, which can last over ten years with proper care. Along with good daily oral hygiene and regular checkups at Glades Dental Group, these steps will keep your veneers looking beautiful for years to come.
