What Dental Veneers Are
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells that bond to the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance. Depending on the material and the level of correction you need, veneers can refine the shape, size, color, and overall look of each treated tooth.
Whether you want to improve a single tooth or transform your entire smile, veneers offer versatile options—from ultra-conservative designs to full-coverage solutions—tailored to your comfort, cosmetic goals, and dental health.
Smile Concerns Veneers Can Address
Veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Deep staining or discoloration resistant to whitening
- Minor gaps or spaces between front teeth
- Small chips or surface cracks
- Slight misalignment or uneven edges
- Naturally small or misshapen teeth
- Worn or jagged tooth surfaces
What Happens During the Veneer Process
The process of getting veneers begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals, review your oral health, and select the type of veneer best suited for you.
- Consultation and Planning: We will talk through your smile goals and determine which veneer option meets your needs.
- Tooth Preparation When Needed: Some veneers may require minimal enamel removal to ensure a precise fit.
- Temporary Veneers If Applicable: For traditional veneers, temporary restorations may be placed while your permanent veneers are fabricated.
- Digital Smile Design Preview: This advanced technology allows you to visualize and customize your smile with Dr. Karishma Sheth before final placement.
- Final Veneer Placement: Once your veneers are ready, they are securely bonded to your teeth for a durable and natural-looking finish.
Types of Veneers We Offer
At Luxe Dental Arts in Alvin, TX, we offer several types of veneers tailored to different needs:
Porcelain Veneers
Strong, durable, and stain-resistant, ideal for full smile makeovers.

What to Expect After Getting Veneers
After placement, you may experience temporary tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, which usually resolves within a few days to weeks. Some patients may notice slight fullness beneath the upper lip if multiple veneers are applied, but this sensation diminishes over time.
If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom nightguard is recommended to protect your veneers and maintain their longevity. Veneers typically do not cause significant changes to your bite or speech, but if you feel any discomfort, contact Luxe Dental Arts in Alvin, TX for a follow-up visit. Your comfort and satisfaction are always our top priority.
