What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, instantly improving their appearance.
They are bonded to the teeth, offering a way to correct a variety of dental issues with a solution that looks and feels natural.
How Do Veneers Work?
Veneers work by adhering to your existing teeth, creating a new, improved appearance on the outside while keeping your natural teeth largely intact.
The process involves removing a small amount of tooth enamel to accommodate the veneer, ensuring a seamless fit and a beautiful, natural look.
What Do Veneers Treat?
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution that can address multiple aesthetic concerns, including:
- Chips or cracks in teeth
- Severe discoloration or uneven coloring that can't be fixed with whitening
- Gaps between teeth
- Smaller-than-average teeth
- Irregularly shaped or misaligned teeth

Dr. Jasvinder Badwalz
I work to help people feel great about their smiles. I believe in treating you as a whole person, not just your mouth. My practice philosophy is based on the ongoing research on the oral-systemic links showing stronger connections to ailments like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, strokes, pregnancy complications and cancers. My passion is to help fearful and anxious patients overcome their fears and trust dentists. I understand how difficult it can be to seek dental treatment due to anxiety and provide compassionate care to help make the process enjoyable again.
Education:
I attended the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University for my dental education, earning my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and further AAID, as an Associate Fellow.
I enjoy expanding my knowledge base to take a more holistic approach of overall dental health and well-being, instead of just treating teeth.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length.
What types of problems do veneers fix?
Veneers are a versatile solution that can address various cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Discolored teeth due to root canal treatment, stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride, or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth
- Worn down teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
- Gaps between teeth
What are the main benefits of choosing veneers?
Veneers offer several advantages, including:
- A natural tooth appearance
- Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well
- Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant
- The color can be selected to make dark teeth appear whiter
- They offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth's color and shape; veneers generally don't require the extensive shaping prior to the procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative.
Are there different types of veneers?
Yes, the most common types of veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers offer better stain resistance and light-reflecting qualities for a more natural appearance. Composite resin veneers are thinner and may require removal of less tooth surface before placement. Your dentist will help you decide which option is best for your dental needs and aesthetic goals.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, and composite resin veneers last around 5 to 7 years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist regularly can help extend the life of your veneers.
Is the veneer procedure painful?
The procedure to apply veneers typically involves little to no discomfort. Patients may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures for a few days following the procedure, but this is usually temporary.
How do I care for my veneers?
Caring for veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential. While porcelain veneers resist stains, your dentist may recommend avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages to maintain the beauty of your veneers.
Can veneers be replaced?
Yes, veneers can be replaced if they become chipped, broken, or worn over time. The replacement process is similar to the original procedure to apply the veneers.
How much do veneers cost?
The cost of veneers varies depending on the material used and the number of teeth being treated. At Zaragoza Family Dental, we strive to provide transparent pricing and will discuss all costs and financing options during your consultation.
How do I know if veneers are right for me?
The best way to determine if veneers are the right choice for your dental needs and goals is to consult with Dr. Jasvinder Badwalz. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your teeth, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the best treatment options for you.
