What can porcelain veneers fix, and how long do they last?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to change their color, shape, size, and overall appearance. They're one of the most powerful tools in cosmetic dentistry, and at Spring Valley Dental, Dr. Aletaha doesn't begin a veneer case without first showing you exactly how your new smile will look.
Whether you want to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, or simply want a brighter, more symmetrical smile, veneers can achieve results that whitening and bonding cannot.
What to expect
Digital smile design consultation
We photograph, scan, and design your new smile digitally. You approve the look before treatment begins, zero guesswork.
Minimal tooth preparation
A thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the front surface. Temporaries are placed while your custom veneers are made.
Custom veneer fabrication
Your veneers are crafted by a skilled dental lab over 1–2 weeks, matching the color, shape, and translucency you approved.
Bonding & final reveal
Veneers are bonded with a strong dental adhesive. You leave with your new smile complete and permanent.

Veneers require minimal removal of enamel from the tooth surface, which means the process is generally irreversible, your teeth will always need to be covered by veneers or crowns. This is a long-term commitment. However, modern veneers are thin enough that the preparation is minor. We discuss this fully before you make any decision.
Modern porcelain veneers are highly lifelike. Dr. Aletaha works with a trusted dental lab that custom-shades each veneer to match your desired aesthetic, whether that's naturally white or brilliantly bright. You choose. We'll show you examples and digital previews before committing.
Well-maintained porcelain veneers typically last 10–20 years. The most common reasons for early replacement are chipping (from biting hard objects) or gum recession exposing the margin. We provide a night guard if you grind your teeth to protect your investment.
The preparation appointment is done under local anesthesia and is very comfortable. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after the temporaries are placed. The final veneer bonding appointment is usually painless.
Veneers vs whitening vs bonding, which cosmetic option is right for you?
Dental bonding uses composite resin applied directly to the tooth, it's faster, less expensive, and reversible, but typically lasts 5–10 years and can stain over time. Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the front surface, offering superior stain resistance, a more natural translucency, and longer lifespan (10–20+ years with proper care). Veneers require some enamel removal and are not reversible. We help you weigh both options honestly at your consultation. Individual results vary based on tooth structure and case complexity.

Every veneer is individually designed and matched to the shape, size, and shade that complements your face and existing teeth.
