What Are Veneers and Why Should I Consider Them?
If you're looking to elevate your smile with natural-looking, long-lasting results, custom veneers may be the ideal solution. Veneers are ultra-thin, tooth-colored shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to correct imperfections and enhance aesthetics. At Fulbright Dental, we combine advanced technology, clinical precision, and the artistry of world-renowned Master Ceramist Paulo Battistella to craft veneers that don’t just look good—they look like you. This minimally invasive treatment can dramatically transform your smile and boost your confidence, helping you feel more like yourself in photos, at work, and in everyday life.
The Benefits of Custom Veneers

Versatile Solution for Cosmetic Concerns
Whether you’re dealing with discoloration, chips, gaps, or slightly misaligned teeth, veneers offer a comprehensive way to address multiple cosmetic issues at once. This one treatment can give you a straighter, brighter, and more symmetrical smile.

Natural Appearance, Expertly Crafted
Your veneers are individually crafted by Master Ceramist Paulo Battistella using premium porcelain that mimics the translucency and luster of natural enamel. The result is a radiant, balanced smile that looks authentic—not artificial.

Long-Lasting and Stain-Resistant
With proper care, veneers can last for many years without losing their brilliance. Unlike natural enamel, the porcelain material used in our veneers is highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, and everyday life.
The Veneers Treatment Process

Consultation & Treatment Planning
Every smile transformation begins with a detailed consultation. Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if veneers are right for you. Using photos, x-rays, and digital scans—along with our advanced PreVu Smile Design software—we’ll create a personalized digital simulation of your new smile. We then send your records to the lab, where a custom temporary prototype is digitally designed to reflect your final restoration—so you’ll know exactly what to expect before treatment even begins.

Preparation & Impressions
To ensure a seamless fit, your dentist will gently remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth. We’ll then take highly accurate digital impressions, which are sent to the lab to create your custom veneers. In the meantime, we’ll place a digitally designed prototype—crafted to reflect your future smile—so you can “test drive” your new look. While most patients are thrilled from the start, this extra step gives you the chance to share any feedback before we move forward with the final restorations. It’s just one more way we make sure you feel confident every step of the way.

Bonding & Final Adjustments
When your permanent veneers are ready, we’ll check the fit, shape, and shade to ensure they blend beautifully with your natural teeth. Then, each veneer is precisely bonded in place. We’ll make any final adjustments to perfect your bite and comfort—so you leave with a flawless, functional, and uniquely “you” smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or even longer. They’re designed to be durable and stain-resistant, but like natural teeth, they can still chip or wear down over time—especially if you grind your teeth or use them to open packages (which we definitely don’t recommend!). If your veneers were placed due to damage from clenching or grinding, we’ll make sure your smile stays protected with a custom night guard or another protective solution tailored to your needs. Our goal is not just to transform your smile—but to help preserve it for the long run.
Not at all! Your mouth will be completely numb during the procedure, so you won’t feel any discomfort while we prepare your teeth or place your veneers. Depending on how many veneers you’re getting, you may feel some mild tenderness or sensitivity afterward—especially around the gums—but this typically fades within a few days. We’ll also walk you through what to expect and how to care for your smile every step of the way.
Yes! Because our veneers are crafted by Master Ceramist Paulo Battistella using premium porcelain, they closely mimic the look of natural enamel. We also carefully design the shape, size, and shade of your veneers to complement your features—so your smile looks refreshed, not “done.”
Veneers are a great option for many people—but for the best long-term results, we need to make sure the foundation is strong first. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health, bite function, and any underlying issues that may have contributed to the need for veneers, such as grinding or worn enamel. If you have gum disease, decay, or functional concerns, we’ll recommend treating those issues first to ensure your veneers last and your smile stays healthy. Our approach is always comprehensive—because lasting beauty starts with a stable foundation.
