Veneers in Elkhorn, NE

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin, durable shells — typically made of porcelain or composite resin — that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They’re custom-designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and aesthetic result.

Veneers can be used to correct:

• Permanent discoloration or staining
• Small chips or cracks
• Uneven or worn-down teeth
• Mild misalignment or spacing issues
• Irregular tooth shapes or sizes

Unlike crowns, which cover the full tooth, veneers only cover the visible front surface — making them a conservative yet impactful option for cosmetic enhancement.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?

You may be a strong candidate for veneers if you:

• Are in good oral health with no active decay or gum disease
• Have healthy enamel for bonding
• Want to improve the look of your front teeth
• Prefer a long-lasting, non-removable cosmetic solution
• Have realistic expectations about outcomes and longevity

If you have structural issues or significant bite misalignment, we may recommend alternatives such as braces, Invisalign, or restorative options.

Our Veneer Process: What to Expect

1. Initial Consultation
   Dr. Brandon Mizner will begin with a full oral exam and cosmetic consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your teeth.
2. Digital Imaging & Preview
   We’ll use digital photography and smile design tools to show you what your new smile could look like before we start. If veneers are right for you, we’ll map out a custom treatment plan.
3. Tooth Preparation
   A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front of each tooth to allow room for the veneer. We then take precise digital impressions to ensure a perfect fit.
4. Custom Veneer Creation
   Your veneers are crafted in a dental lab from high-quality porcelain or composite material, selected for durability and natural aesthetics.
5. Final Bonding
   Once your veneers are ready, we’ll bond them securely to your teeth, make final adjustments, and polish them to match your natural smile.

With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or longer.

Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Options

Depending on your smile goals, we may recommend veneers as a standalone treatment or as part of a smile makeover. Here’s how veneers compare to other cosmetic options:

• Veneers: Great for multiple imperfections, permanent discoloration, or reshaping
• Teeth Whitening: Best for patients with surface stains but otherwise healthy teeth
• Invisalign or Braces: More appropriate for spacing or alignment corrections
• Bonding: A quicker, lower-cost solution for small chips or gaps

During your consultation, we’ll walk through all available options to help you choose what’s best for your smile and budget.

Caring for Your Veneers

While veneers are stain-resistant and highly durable, it’s important to care for them just like your natural teeth. To protect your investment:

• Brush and floss daily with non-abrasive toothpaste
• Avoid biting hard objects (ice, fingernails, pens)
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
• Keep up with routine cleanings and exams
• Minimize foods and drinks that can stain over time

Our team will monitor your veneers during regular visits to ensure they remain securely bonded and looking their best.
