Have you ever wished for a "do-over" for your smile? For many people who feel self-conscious about chips, stains, or gaps, dental veneers are the answer. This incredibly versatile cosmetic treatment can deliver a "Hollywood smile" in as little as one or two visits.
At Raines Over the Rockies Family Dentistry in Lakewood, CO, we combine artistry with advanced technology to create stunning, natural-looking veneers that can completely transform your confidence.
What Are Dental Veneers?
A dental veneer is an ultra-thin, custom-made shell of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of your tooth. Think of it like a new "face" for your tooth. Because they are designed in a lab by a master ceramicist (or in our office!), they can be used to instantly correct a wide range of cosmetic issues, including:
-
Deep-set stains or discoloration that whitening can't fix
-
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
-
Gaps and spacing between teeth
-
Worn-down or "short" looking teeth
-
Mildly crooked or misshapen teeth
The Veneer Process: What to Expect
Getting veneers is a precise process that typically involves a consultation and one or two placement appointments.
-
The Consultation: You'll meet with your dentist at our Lakewood office to discuss your goals. We'll design your new smile with you, selecting the perfect shape, size, and shade for your new teeth.
-
Tooth Preparation: We gently reshape a very thin layer of your natural tooth enamel (about the thickness of a contact lens) to make room for the veneer.
-
Impressions/Scanning: We take a highly accurate digital scan or impression of your prepared teeth.
-
Placement: Your custom veneers are crafted. When they are ready, we will check the fit and color before permanently bonding them to your teeth, instantly revealing your new smile.

Are Dental Veneers Right for You?
The best candidates for veneers are people who have specific cosmetic goals but also have good underlying oral health (i.e., no active gum disease or decay). They are a long-lasting, stain-resistant solution, but they are also a permanent commitment, as a small amount of enamel is removed.
