Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a simple solution for people looking to improve the appearance of their smile. They are a popular cosmetic treatment because of their customizable appearance that improves the appearance of crowded, discolored, and chipped teeth.
Dental Veneers in Winter Springs, FL
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to conceal any imperfections such as discoloration, chips, or uneven teeth. The shade of veneers can be adjusted to match your tooth color, and the application process is relatively pain-free. Veneers can effectively hide noticeable flaws and give the appearance of straight and even teeth.
Veneers are an excellent option for those who want to:
– Cover up stains
– Change the appearance of their teeth
– Fill gaps between teeth
At Collins Dental in Winter Springs, FL, we offer high-quality, natural-looking veneers. We use both traditional porcelain veneers and the Lumineers® Veneer System.

Dental Veneers Process
Consultation: You can receive a consultation where we scan your teeth in 3D, which means that minimal or no impressions are needed. We will also provide you with a virtual mockup to compare before and after photos so that you can choose your preferred outcome by seeing different shapes, sizes, and colors of teeth.
Choose Veneers Style: After viewing the various options for your smile, you can choose between porcelain veneers or Lumineers®.
Porcelain veneers require more reduction of the tooth structure but are permanently bonded to your teeth, usually lasting longer than Lumineers®. Lumineers® are thin specialty veneers that allow for minimal to no reduction of natural tooth structure but don’t last as long as porcelain veneers.
First Appointment: We will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers when they’re ready. Your veneers will be created by a lab, and it usually takes around 2-4 weeks. During this time, we will place temporary veneers on your teeth to hold the place for your permanent veneers.
Second Appointment: When your veneers are ready, you will come back for your second appointment. We will remove the temporary veneers and bond the new veneers to your teeth.
Homecare: You should take care of your new veneers just like your regular teeth. Brush and floss twice daily, visit the dentist for bi-annual teeth cleanings, and avoid sugary snacks or drinks. It’s important to remember that veneers only cover the front of the tooth, so the chewing surfaces and inner surfaces are still your natural tooth surfaces and are susceptible to cavities and decay.

Schedule Your Consultation-
Do you have to shave down my teeth?
Yes—we have to remove some of the natural tooth structure as it helps prepare the tooth for fitting and bonding of your veneers. Typically, we remove about 0.5 mm off the tooth for porcelain veneers and slightly less for Lumineers. For reference, teeth are teeth typically 5-12 mm thick before the procedure.
-
How thick are veneers?
It depends on which style you get. Veneers can be as thick as 3-4 mm to improve esthetics. Traditional porcelain veneers are usually about 1mm thick, while Lumineers are much thinner. Lumineers use a very thin and durable ceramic material that is usually only about 0.5mm thick.
-
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are designed to function as a permanent replacement for your teeth. Typically, they last between 10-20 years. How long your veneers last will depend on how well you take care of your teeth, with brushing/flossing, avoiding opening things with your teeth, and visiting your dentist regularly.
-
How many veneers do I need?
You can get veneers on one tooth or every tooth. The number of veneers you need all depends on your desired smile outcome and appearance.
-
Do I need to have temporaries?
Yes. The temporary veneers will look and function as your permanent veneers will. The process of temporary veneers lets us ensure that they are the desired shape, size, and look of your dreams before permanently bonding the veneers to your teeth. This lets us complete any adjustments before finalizing your smile.
If you have temporary veneers you should brush gently and stay away from hard, sticky, chewy, or crunchy food.
