What are veneers?
Veneers are very thin tooth coverings made of strong, durable porcelain. They cover the front of a tooth and look completely natural. They are used to repair imperfections, such as tooth discoloration, chips, broken teeth, gaps or otherwise misshapen teeth.
Dr. Aguilar is very experienced treating certain dental problems with minimal or no-prep Lumineers. This means that the tooth needs no, or very little, shaving to accommodate these ultra thin veneers. They are translucent, strong, and can be matched to your other teeth.
Veneers in one visit
In addition to minimal prep Lumineers, Dr. Aguilar also uses CEREC to create beautiful veneers in one visit. Rather than having an outside lab create them, CEREC breakthrough technology allows Dr. Aguilar to make veneers right in his office. He designs and mills your veneers using strong, durable porcelain. Because they are made in-house during your visit, he is able to customize your veneers on the spot so they are the correct size, shape and color, blending in with your other teeth beautifully.
Look just like natural teeth
Our high-quality veneers are made of bio-compatible porcelain. Porcelain veneers very closely resemble a natural tooth, including the level of translucence a natural tooth has.
Conditions Veneers can correct
Veneers are a popular choice because they can be used to correct or change several conditions:
- Stained, dark or yellow teeth – Veneers can be used if whitening procedures aren’t enough to change the discoloration
- Fillings that are stained or discolored
- Fix gaps between teeth
- Crooked teeth – In some cases, veneers can be an alternative to braces
- Teeth with chipped or broken edges – Veneers can cover these edges, creating a uniform tooth
- Pitted surfaces – Veneers can provide a smooth surface
- Misshapen teeth – Veneers provide a uniformly shaped tooth that looks natural
Dental Bonding
Dental Bonding can be a more affordable alternative to veneers. A tooth-colored, durable resin is applied to the tooth and then made to harden with a curing light. Dr. Aguilar can then refine the dental bonding by shaping, smoothing and polishing it so it looks like a natural tooth. Though dental bonding can solve many of the same conditions as veneers, it is not as durable as a veneer and will also stain more easily.

Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions About One Day Porcelain Veneers
Who is the right candidate for dental veneers?
Dental veneers are an excellent option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their teeth. They are versatile and can help address several aesthetic imperfections, including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Mildly spaced or misaligned teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Oddly sized or shaped teeth
The best candidates must have healthy teeth and gums and should be committed to maintaining good oral hygiene. During your consultation, we’ll assess your smile and discuss whether veneers are the best cosmetic solution for your goals.
Are single-visit dental veneers long-lasting?
Yes. Same-day veneers are made from durable, high-quality ceramic materials designed to withstand everyday chewing and biting forces. While their longevity depends on your oral hygiene and habits, they can last many years with proper care.
Do you want to maximize the longevity of your veneers? Practice good oral hygiene, avoid biting non-food items, and schedule regular dental check-ups.
How many veneers do I need?
Good question! Every patient is unique, and the number of veneers needed varies depending on your needs and goals. Some patients need 1-2 veneers to achieve the desired results, while others need 6-10 veneers for a complete transformation. We’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and desired outcomes.
Do dental veneers look natural?
Absolutely. Our dental veneers are crafted from lifelike materials and artfully customized to match the color, shape, size, and translucency of your natural teeth. Once placed, no one will realize you have veneers, except they’ll notice your beautifully enhanced smile. Our goal is to improve your smile while ensuring your veneers look completely natural.
Do dental veneers damage teeth?
One of the main concerns about veneers is whether the treatment damages your teeth. It’s a reasonable question. After all, any procedure that alters your tooth structure requires honest information. The truth? Dental veneers do not damage your teeth when placed by a trained dentist. The preparation involves removing a thin layer of the enamel (less than 0.7mm) to ensure your veneers fit naturally. While veneer preparation is irreversible, the procedure is conservative and doesn’t affect your tooth’s structural integrity.
Can I remove veneers once placed?
Because placing veneers requires enamel removal, the procedure is considered permanent. The enamel will never grow back, so your tooth typically requires some type of restoration after preparation. However, a dentist can remove your veneers if they become damaged or reach the end of their lifespan.
