What Dental Veneers Are
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells designed to cover the front of your teeth and enhance their appearance. They can adjust the shape, size, color, and surface of each tooth to create a more polished look.
Veneers can be applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth for a full smile transformation. Available in options ranging from conservative to full coverage, they can be tailored to your comfort, aesthetic goals, and overall dental health.
Smile Issues That Dental Veneers Can Correct
Veneers are an excellent solution for treating the following cosmetic concerns:
- Severe staining or discoloration that whitening cannot fix
- Minor gaps or spaces between front teeth
- Small chips or cracks
- Slight misalignment or uneven edges
- Naturally small or irregularly shaped teeth
- Worn or jagged teeth
What Happens During the Dental Veneer Process
The veneer process begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals, evaluate your oral health, and select the right veneer type.
- Consultation & Planning: We discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the most suitable type of veneer for your needs.
- Tooth Preparation (If Needed): Some enamel may be gently removed depending on the veneer type 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: This technology allows you to collaborate with Dr. Karishma to preview and adjust your smile before finalizing the design, ensuring complete confidence in the outcome.
- Final Placement: Your custom veneers are securely bonded to your teeth, providing a durable and beautiful result.

Porcelain Veneers
Known for their durability and lifelike appearance, porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and ideal for complete smile transformations.
Feldspathic Veneers

Minimal Prep Veneers
These ultra-thin veneers require little to no enamel removal and are perfect for patients who prefer a conservative approach.
What Happens After Getting Dental Veneers
After your veneers are placed, it’s normal to experience some temporary tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold temperatures. This sensitivity typically subsides within a few days to a few weeks as your teeth adjust to the new restorations.
Some patients may also notice a slight feeling of fullness beneath the upper lip, particularly if multiple veneers were placed on the front teeth. This sensation usually diminishes as you become accustomed to your updated smile.
If there are signs of nighttime clenching or grinding, wearing a custom nightguard is strongly recommended to protect your veneers and ensure their long-term durability.
There should be no significant changes to your speech or bite. However, if anything feels uncomfortable or unusual after your veneers are placed, don't hesitate to contact Luxe Dental Arts in Houston, TX for a follow-up visit. Your comfort and satisfaction are our priority.
