Custom-Made Dental Veneers
in Arlington, TX
When you smile for pictures, do you try to hide your teeth because you don’t love the way they look? Dr. Heather Martinson and her expert dental team can help you get a smile that you’ll love showing off with veneers!
Dental veneers are a popular solution in modern cosmetic dentistry because they provide a dramatic transformation with minimal invasiveness. These thin, durable shells are custom-crafted and bonded to the front of your teeth, offering a natural-looking way to cover flaws and enhance your overall smile.
What Can Veneers Do for Your Smile?
Dental veneers can give you the beautiful smile that you always wanted. They are custom-made to fit your teeth and come in many different shades so that you can find the perfect match for you. With precise color matching and craftsmanship, veneers blend seamlessly into your existing smile, giving you a
natural appearance that never looks artificial.
Veneers can correct common aesthetic tooth issues such as:
- Shape
- Discoloration
- Chips
- Damage
- Gaps between teeth
- Size
Many patients who choose porcelain veneers are amazed at how quickly and comfortably they can improve their entire look. Whether you have one tooth that’s bothering you or several that need enhancement, veneers are a flexible and personalized solution.
In addition to making cosmetic corrections, porcelain veneers can also strengthen teeth that are worn down or slightly damaged, helping to reinforce their structure while still maintaining an attractive and natural appearance.
Veneers are particularly beneficial for patients with deeply stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond well to whitening treatments. By covering the surface of the tooth, veneers can create a bright, uniform smile that lasts for years — no whitening touch-ups required.
The Process of Getting Dental Veneers
The process for receiving veneers typically involves two to three visits. First, Dr. Martinson will consult with you to discuss your goals and assess whether you’re a good candidate for veneers. If so, the next step is to gently reshape the surface of your teeth and take impressions, which are used to design your custom veneers.
We primarily offer porcelain veneers due to their durability, longevity, and incredibly lifelike appearance. Porcelain is highly resistant to staining and closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, which makes it the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry.
Once your veneers are ready, we’ll carefully bond them to your teeth using a specialized dental adhesive. Each one is individually placed and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance. The result is a beautifully balanced smile that looks like your own — only better.
Patients often describe the veneer process as surprisingly simple and comfortable. In fact, there’s little to no downtime required, and the final outcome can be life-changing for those who have long felt insecure about their teeth.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
There are several types of veneers available, but porcelain veneers remain the most popular choice due to their strength and realistic look. Unlike composite veneers, which are made from a resin material and applied in one visit, porcelain veneers are created in a dental lab for a custom, long-lasting solution.
Benefits of porcelain veneers include:
- Enhanced durability and resistance to staining
- A smooth, glass-like surface that mimics real enamel
- Long-lasting results — often 10-15 years with proper care
- A tailored fit that maintains your
natural appearance
- Compatibility with other
cosmetic dentistry treatments
Whether you want a subtle change or a total smile makeover,
porcelain veneers offer the flexibility and aesthetic quality you need. They’re also an excellent option for people who want to correct multiple cosmetic issues at once without undergoing multiple different procedures.
Maintaining Your Veneers
Taking care of your veneers is simple and easy. Treat them just like you would your natural teeth — brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly. Dr. Martinson will check your veneers during routine exams to make sure they’re in great shape and functioning as they should.
While porcelain veneers are very strong, they’re not indestructible. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens, and consider wearing a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth while sleeping. With the right care, your veneers will continue to provide you with a confident, natural appearance for many years to come.
If you’re looking to further enhance your results, veneers can be combined with other
cosmetic dentistry treatments such as professional teeth whitening (for any natural teeth not receiving veneers), Invisalign, or gum contouring. We’ll build a treatment plan that works for your smile and lifestyle.
