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.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Dental Veneers, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
You'll see a projected preview of your new smile before any tooth preparation begins.
We preserve as much natural enamel as the case allows, rather than defaulting to aggressive tooth reduction.
Material choice is discussed openly, including cost differences, rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
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.
We photograph your smile and build a digital preview showing projected shape, length, and shade changes. Most patients request at least one adjustment round before approving the design.
Fabrication is done from a digital impression and fitted over two visits with a temporary in between. Porcelain tends to be the better long-term investment for a full smile redesign.
This option works well for smaller corrections like a chip, gap, or minor shape adjustment. It's a reasonable starting point if you're not ready to commit to porcelain yet.
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.
A chipped or discolored single tooth can often be corrected with one veneer rather than a full smile redesign. 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.
You'll get one flat-rate price for the full case before any enamel is touched.
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 Lake Murray of Richland patients ask most before booking Dental Veneers.
Porcelain veneers typically last ten to fifteen years with good care; composite veneers usually need replacement sooner.
You'll have final say on shape, length, and shade before we move forward.
Traditional veneers require some enamel removal and aren't fully reversible; minimal or no-prep options preserve more of the original tooth.
Porcelain lasts longer and resists staining better; composite is faster and more affordable but needs more frequent upkeep.
A full smile redesign is only recommended when it genuinely fits your goals, not by default.
Your specific timeline depends on how many teeth are involved and the case complexity.
