What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells that attach to the front of your teeth to enhance their appearance. Depending on the material and the level of correction needed, veneers can alter the shape, size, color, and surface of each tooth.
Veneers can be applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth to create a full smile transformation. With options ranging from minimally invasive to full-coverage, veneers can be customized to match your comfort, cosmetic goals, and overall dental health.
Smile Issues That Veneers Can Correct
Veneers are an effective option for addressing the following cosmetic dental concerns:
- Stubborn stains or discoloration that do not respond to whitening
- Small gaps or spaces between the front teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Slightly uneven or misaligned edges
- Teeth that are naturally small or irregularly shaped
- Worn, jagged, or damaged teeth
What Happens During the Veneer Procedure
The veneer process starts with a personalized consultation to review your goals, assess your oral health, and choose the most suitable veneer type.
- Consultation & Planning: We’ll review your aesthetic goals and determine the best type of veneer for your needs.
- Tooth Preparation (If Needed): For certain veneer types, a small amount of enamel may be gently removed to ensure a precise fit.
- Temporary Veneers (If Applicable): For traditional or full-prep veneers, temporary restorations are placed while your custom veneers are being made.
- Digital Smile Design Test Drive: Using advanced technology, you can collaborate with Dr. Karishma to co-design your smile and make adjustments before final placement, ensuring confidence in your results.
- Final Placement: Your custom veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, providing a durable and stunning finish.
Types of Veneers We Offer

Porcelain Veneers
Known for their durability and lifelike appearance, porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and ideal for complete smile transformations.
Feldspathic Veneers
Crafted with layered porcelain for superior aesthetics, feldspathic veneers provide a translucent, natural-looking finish for patients seeking maximum beauty.

Made from tooth-colored resin, these veneers are a more affordable, same-day option that can still yield beautiful improvements.
Minimal Prep Veneers
These ultra-thin veneers require little to no enamel removal and are perfect for patients who prefer a conservative approach.
What to Expect After Your Veneers Are Placed
After receiving your veneers, it’s common to experience temporary tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold foods and drinks. This usually resolves within a few days to weeks as your teeth adjust to the new restorations.
You may also notice a slight sensation of fullness under the upper lip, particularly if multiple front teeth were treated. This feeling typically fades as you get used to your new smile.
If you grind or clench your teeth at night, wearing a custom nightguard is recommended to protect your veneers and ensure their longevity.
Most patients experience no significant changes in speech or bite. However, if you feel any discomfort or notice anything unusual, contact Luxe Dental Arts in Stafford, TX for a follow-up. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities.
