What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells placed atop your natural teeth, covering cosmetic imperfections. Dr. Flax customizes your veneers to match your teeth color, shape, and size, allowing them to blend seamlessly into your smile.
Using porcelain veneers for your smile makeover can help perfect the following cosmetic dentistry problems:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or missized teeth
- Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
- Misaligned teeth
Traditional Veneers
Traditional teeth veneers are about 0.5 mm thick and require a very tiny portion of the tooth to be removed before placement to ensure a seamless transition.
Minimal-Prep Veneers
Ultra-thin, minimal-prep veneers are often as thin as 0.3 mm. We can place this type of veneer with minimal or sometimes no tooth preparation at all.

The Veneers Process: From Consultation to Transformation
Consultation
The journey to your dream smile begins with a consultation at Flax Dental. During this initial appointment, our skilled professionals will assess your oral health, discuss your smile goals, and determine if porcelain veneers are the right choice for you.
Preparation
Once you and Dr. Flax have determined veneers are right for you, a small amount of enamel is gently removed from the surface of your teeth to create space. Don’t worry — this step is painless and ensures a snug fit.
If you opted for minimal-prep veneers, you may not need this step. We’ll then take precise impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers that fit your unique dental anatomy.
Temporary Veneers
While your permanent veneers are in fabrication at the dental lab, you’ll receive temporary veneers to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new smile.
Bonding
Once your custom veneers are ready, they are bonded to your teeth using a strong adhesive. Dr. Flax and his team meticulously ensure proper fit and alignment for a seamless result.
He’ll make any necessary adjustments to guarantee comfort and satisfaction before you leave our office with a dazzling, confident smile.
Caring For Your Veneers
Caring for your porcelain veneers is simple and crucial to keeping your smile bright. Here are Dr. Flax’s tips for maintaining your stunning new smile:
- Brush Gently: Use a soft toothbrush and gentle toothpaste to brush your teeth twice daily.
- Floss Regularly: Clean between your teeth daily using floss, including around your veneers.
- Protect from Hard Biting: Avoid biting on hard objects like pens or ice.
- Guard for Sports: Wear a mouthguard during contact or high-intensity sports to shield your veneers.
