Beautiful Smiles with Dental Veneers
If you dream of a brighter, more uniform smile, dental veneers may be the perfect solution. Veneers can address discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor alignment issues—all with natural-looking results.
At Seller & Laframboise Dentistry, we create custom porcelain and composite veneers that enhance your natural beauty. Whether you’re looking for a subtle improvement or a complete smile makeover, we’ll help you achieve beautiful results with care and attention to every detail.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. These cosmetic shells are crafted from porcelain or composite resin and are bonded to your teeth to improve their appearance—changing shape, size, color, or length.
Veneers offer a versatile solution for many cosmetic concerns. Whether you have stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening, chips, cracks, gaps, or teeth that appear too small or uneven, veneers can create the smile you’ve always wanted.
The best veneers combine artistry with precision—custom-designed to complement your facial features and look completely natural.

We offer several veneer options to suit different needs, preferences, and budgets. Here are the options available at our practice.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that cover the front surface of teeth. Known for their durability and natural appearance, porcelain teeth veneers resist staining and can last 15-20 years with proper care. Emax veneers are a popular type known for exceptional strength and aesthetics.
Composite Veneers
Dental composite veneers are made from tooth-colored resin applied directly to the teeth. Composite veneers cost less than porcelain and can often be completed in a single visit. While not as long-lasting as porcelain, they’re an excellent option for many patients.
No-Prep Veneers
No prep veneers require minimal or no enamel removal, making them a more conservative option. These ultra-thin veneers for teeth are ideal for patients who want to preserve more of their natural tooth structure while still achieving a beautiful result.
Why Choose Veneers
When comparing implants vs veneers, it’s important to understand they serve different purposes. Veneers enhance existing teeth, while implants replace missing teeth. For improving the appearance of healthy teeth, veneers are often the ideal choice.
Are veneers worth it? For patients who want to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once, veneers offer dramatic results in just a few visits. Rather than years of orthodontics or multiple whitening treatments, veneers provide immediate transformation.
With proper care, porcelain veneers last 15-20 years or more. This longevity, combined with stain resistance and natural appearance, makes them a smart investment in your smile and confidence.

FAQ
Cost varies based on the type and number of veneers. Porcelain veneers cost more than composite due to materials and lab work. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate for your specific treatment plan.
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 15-20 years or longer. Composite veneers generally last 5-7 years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, habits like grinding, and regular dental care.
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They cover imperfections like stains, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment. The process involves preparing the teeth, taking impressions, and bonding custom-made veneers for a transformed smile.
The procedure is generally comfortable. Local anesthesia is used during tooth preparation, so you won’t feel pain. Some patients experience mild sensitivity afterward, but this typically resolves quickly. Most patients find the process much easier than expected.
Traditional porcelain veneers require enamel removal, making them an irreversible treatment—you’ll always need veneers or another restoration on those teeth. However, veneers themselves need replacement eventually. No-prep veneers may be reversible in some cases.
For many patients, absolutely. Veneers can dramatically transform a smile in just a few visits, addressing multiple concerns at once. The confidence boost and long-lasting results make them a worthwhile investment for those who are good candidates.
When placed by an experienced dentist, veneers are safe and effective. Some enamel removal is needed for traditional veneers, but this is minimal. Veneers actually protect the front of teeth from further damage and staining.
Veneers cover only the front surface, while dental crowns encase the entire tooth. Veneers require less tooth reduction and are ideal for cosmetic concerns. Crowns are better for severely damaged or weakened teeth.
Bonding uses resin applied in one visit and costs less, but doesn’t last as long or resist staining as well. Veneers provide more dramatic, longer-lasting results. We can help you decide which is right for your goals.
Dental veneers are typically considered cosmetic and aren’t covered by most insurance plans. However, if veneers are needed to restore damaged teeth, partial coverage may apply. We can help you understand your benefits and provide documentation.
No, veneers cannot be whitened with bleaching products—they maintain their original color. If your veneers have become stained or you want a whiter shade, replacement is the only option. This is why we carefully select the right shade during treatment planning.
Care is simple: brush and floss normally, avoid biting hard objects, and see us for regular checkups. While porcelain resists staining, good oral hygiene protects the underlying teeth and gums. A night guard may be recommended if you grind your teeth.
