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 — 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 | 10–15 years | Stain-resistant, most natural appearance |
| Composite Veneers | Resin material bonded directly to the tooth | 5–7 years | Faster and more affordable solution |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do veneers look natural?
Yes — porcelain veneers are translucent like natural enamel, so they blend perfectly with surrounding teeth.
Q2: Are veneers permanent?
They’re a long-term solution but may eventually need replacement after 10–15 years.
Q3: Do veneers damage natural teeth?
Only a very thin enamel layer is removed; your underlying teeth remain protected once veneers are bonded.
Q4: Can I get veneers on just one tooth?
Absolutely — they can correct a single imperfection or enhance your entire smile.
Q5: How much do veneers cost?
Pricing depends on the number of teeth and the material type. See our Financing & Insurance Options for flexible payment plans.
