Porcelain veneers are crafted in a lab, offering superior durability, stain resistance and a more natural enamel-like appearance. Composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth in-office, making them more affordable and quicker, but they may not last as long as porcelain.

Dental Veneers in Garner, NC
At Shine Family Dentistry, dental veneers offer a natural-looking solution to improve the appearance of discolored, chipped, uneven or misshapen teeth. These thin, custom-crafted shells bond securely to the front of your teeth, creating a flawless, lasting finish. Veneers are ideal for correcting minor misalignment, closing small gaps or covering stains that don’t respond to whitening.
Types of Dental Veneers
We offer both same-day composite/ceramic hybrid veneers for select cases and lab-crafted porcelain veneers for the most durable, stain-resistant and enamel-like results. Each option is designed to enhance your smile with comfort, precision and long-term beauty.

The Veneers Process
Initial Consultation: Your smile transformation starts with a consultation in which we assess your oral health, discuss your goals and decide whether same-day composite/ceramic hybrid or lab-crafted porcelain veneers are the best fit for you.
Tooth Preparation: A minimal amount of enamel is gently reshaped to ensure a precise fit. We then take digital impressions to design custom veneers that blend naturally with your smile.
Temporary Veneers: If you’re receiving lab-created porcelain veneers, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your final results while your permanent ones are being made.

Next Steps
Fitting and Adjustment: Once your custom veneers are ready—whether same-day composite/ceramic hybrid or lab-crafted porcelain—you’ll return for a fitting. We’ll carefully evaluate the fit, shape and shade, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a seamless, natural look.
Permanent Placement: Your veneers are then securely bonded to your teeth with strong dental adhesive and cured with a special light. They’re polished for a smooth finish that blends beautifully with your natural teeth.
Follow-up Appointments: We recommend routine checkups to monitor your veneers and keep your smile looking its best. Our team is here to make adjustments and offer tips to help maintain long-lasting results.

How long do veneer teeth last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years, while composite veneers last about 5 to 7 years with proper care and maintenance.
