Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are one of the fastest, most effective ways to achieve a stunning smile transformation.
At AVF Dental Group, Dr. Reza Tafreshi designs and places custom porcelain or composite veneers that correct discoloration, chips, gaps, and uneven teeth while preserving your natural tooth structure.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells made from porcelain or composite resin that bond to the front surface of teeth.
They mimic natural enamel in both look and feel β giving you a flawless, confident smile with minimal alteration to the underlying tooth.
Common uses:
Cover deep stains or discoloration
Close small gaps between teeth
Fix chipped or slightly misaligned teeth
Reshape worn or uneven edges
Types of Veneers
| Type | Material | Longevity | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porcelain Veneers | High-strength dental porcelain | 10β15 years | Stain-resistant, most natural appearance |
| Composite Veneers | Resin material bonded directly to the tooth | 5β7 years | Faster and more affordable solution |
