Cosmetic dentistry has many ways to change how your smile looks and offer impressive results. One of its most popular procedures is veneers. However, before you sign up, it’s important to understand how veneers work and the level of commitment they require.
Think of veneers as tooth-shaped and colored masks. They are thin layers of porcelain designed to completely cover the natural tooth and change its appearance.
They can be used to change the appearance of just one tooth or even achieve a more dramatic smile makeover. Veneers are custom-made to suit the specific teeth and expectations of each patient. Call us today to schedule a consultation!

The veneer placement process is a minimally invasive procedure. Your Lewis Center dentist will shave a small amount of tooth enamel to create a rough texture on the surface. This will allow the veneer to bond to the tooth and stay in place.
The amount of enamel shaved is so low that veneers won’t lead to unwanted side effects like weaker teeth or increased sensitivity. If anything, veneers can make your teeth slightly stronger.
Tooth enamel doesn’t grow back, so if your veneers get damaged, you will need to get them replaced.
If by now you’ve decided you want to improve your smile’s appearance with veneers, your next step is to see Dr. Harjyot Bhullar for an appointment.
Through an oral health assessment and discussion about your expectations, Dr. Bhullar can determine if you’re a good candidate for veneers and devise a personalized treatment plan for you.

Getting veneers is a permanent procedure, but the veneer itself can still be damaged. With the right maintenance, patients can enjoy their new smiles for 15–20 years.
