Before any enamel is touched, we build a digital smile design mockup so you can see roughly what your new smile will look like — and change your mind if it's not right.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Dental Veneers is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
The mockup lets us adjust shape, length, and shade together before committing to the final design.
Some cases genuinely need standard preparation — we'll tell you honestly which category yours falls into.
Porcelain veneers last longer and resist staining better; composite is faster and more affordable — we'll walk through the tradeoffs.
No per-tooth surprise fees once you've approved the treatment plan and price.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
This is the visit where you get final say on the design direction before any prep work happens. Most patients request at least one adjustment round before approving the design.
Porcelain is stain-resistant and closely mimics natural tooth translucency, typically lasting ten to fifteen years with care. Shade and translucency are matched carefully to look natural next to unaltered teeth.
Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth in a single visit, at a lower cost than porcelain. Composite doesn't resist staining quite as well as porcelain over the long term.
When enamel and tooth position allow, we use minimal or no-prep techniques that preserve nearly all of your natural tooth. Ask specifically whether your case is a minimal-prep candidate during the mockup visit.
We match shade and shape carefully so the repaired tooth blends with the teeth around it. Single-tooth cases are often completed within two visits.
We'll suggest bonding first when it's genuinely sufficient, rather than upselling to veneers by default. Bonding is reversible and can be touched up more easily over time.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Dental Veneers at any of our affiliated offices.
A quick call gets your consultation and photos scheduled.
We finalize shape, length, and shade together at this stage.
Preparation, when needed, is minimal and guided by the approved design.
Veneers are fitted, checked for bite and appearance, and polished to their final finish.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Dental Veneers.
“Seeing the mockup before anything happened to my teeth made this so much less nerve-wracking than I expected.”
“They talked me out of veneers on two teeth and suggested bonding instead, which saved me a decent amount of money.”
“Porcelain veneers matched my other teeth so well that people genuinely can't tell which ones are original.”
“Minimal-prep was an option for my case and they explained exactly why before recommending it over traditional veneers.”
“Fixed a single chipped front tooth in two visits and the shade match is honestly perfect.”
These are the questions South Boston patients ask most before booking Dental Veneers.
