What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can modify the shape, size, color, and texture of teeth for a more polished, uniform look.
Veneers can be applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth for a complete smile makeover. With options from conservative to full coverage, they can be customized to match your comfort, aesthetic goals, and overall dental health.
Dental Smile Issues Veneers Can Address
Veneers are an excellent solution for treating the following cosmetic concerns:
- Persistent staining or discoloration that whitening treatments cannot resolve
- 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
The Dental Veneer Procedure
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 review your aesthetic goals and determine the most suitable type of veneer for your needs.
- Tooth Preparation (If Needed): A small amount of 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 fabricated.
- Digital Smile Design Preview: This technology lets you collaborate with Dr. Karishma to visualize and adjust your smile before finalizing the design, ensuring confidence in the outcome.
- Final Placement: Your custom veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, delivering a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.

After Receiving Dental Veneers
After your veneers are placed, some temporary tooth sensitivity—especially to hot or cold—may occur. This typically eases within a few days to weeks as your teeth adjust to the new restorations.
You may also notice a slight sensation of fullness beneath the upper lip, particularly if multiple veneers were applied to the front teeth. This usually fades as you get used to your new smile.
If you have a habit of clenching or grinding at night, wearing a custom nightguard is recommended to protect your veneers and ensure their long-term durability.
Your speech and bite should remain largely unchanged. If anything feels uncomfortable or unusual after placement, contact Luxe Dental Arts in Pearland, TX for a follow-up. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities.
