Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a simple solution for people looking to improve the appearance of their smile. They are a popular cosmetic treatment because of their customizable appearance, giving you the smile of your dreams.
Dental Veneers at Perimeter Dental
Are you unhappy with the look of your teeth due to crowding issues, chipped or worn down teeth, or areas of staining? Dental veneers might be a great solution for you. Veneers are thin shells that are customized to fit on the front surface of your teeth, hiding any flaws and making them appear straight and even. With proper care, veneers can last many years before needing replacement or repairs.
At Perimeter Dental in Atlanta and Sandy Springs, GA, we offer customized dental veneers to meet your needs. Our dental professionals will take impressions of your teeth during your first appointment and apply and adjust the veneers in a second appointment. The shade and shape of the veneers can be adjusted to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are thin shells used to enhance the appearance of the front surfaces of teeth. They can be designed to require minimal enamel removal or to make adjustments to alignment and spacing. The application process involves preparing the teeth and securing the veneers with a strong dental adhesive. It is a straightforward procedure that can provide significant cosmetic benefits.
-
What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two main types of dental veneers, namely porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both of these options are effective in enhancing your smile. Composite veneers are produced in-office using tooth-colored resin and are applied directly to the teeth. They are a more affordable and quicker alternative to porcelain veneers and can effectively cover many aesthetic problems. On the other hand, porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth using porcelain and are typically created in a laboratory. We will apply them to your teeth to ensure that they fit perfectly. Porcelain veneers are more durable because of the stronger material, appear more natural, and can correct more significant cosmetic imperfections such as very dark stained teeth or teeth that are improperly positioned.
-
How long do dental veneers last?
We offer veneers made from high-quality materials that are built to last. Typically, veneers can last for 10-15 years, but with proper dental care, they can exceed 20 years. If you need any repairs or replacements, please contact one of our offices so that we can help you regain your confidence in your smile.

Are dental veneers painful?
The process of getting veneers is usually painless, as it involves minimal enamel removal. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity or discomfort following the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.
-
Do dental veneers stain?
While porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining, composite veneers may be more prone to staining over time, especially if exposed to highly pigmented foods and beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding staining substances can help prolong the life of veneers.
-
Can anyone get dental veneers?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for veneers. Good candidates typically have healthy teeth and gums, sufficient enamel for bonding, and realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome. Your dentist will assess your suitability during a consultation.
