How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers work by applying these thin shells directly to the front of your teeth. The process typically involves:
- Consultation and Planning: Our dental team evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and plans your veneer treatment.
- Preparation: A small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth is removed to make space for the veneers, ensuring a seamless fit. An impression of your teeth is then taken and sent to a lab where your custom veneers are crafted.
- Application: Once your veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive. Minor adjustments can be made to ensure a perfect fit and natural look.
This process transforms your smile with a custom, durable solution designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What types of dental veneers are available?
There are primarily two types of dental veneers:
- Porcelain Veneers: Known for their strength and natural appearance, porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental lab to match your desired color and shape. They are resistant to stains and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth.
- Composite Resin Veneers: These veneers are made from a tooth-colored resin applied directly to the tooth and shaped to its desired form. While less expensive and requiring a shorter application time than porcelain, they may not last as long and are more prone to staining.
Our team at DeFuniak Springs Family Dental can help you choose the best type of veneer based on your aesthetic goals, budget, and the condition of your teeth.

How long do dental veneers last?
The lifespan of dental veneers depends on the material used and how well they are cared for. Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer, while composite resin veneers typically last 5 to 7 years. To maximize the lifespan of your veneers, maintain good oral hygiene, avoid biting on hard objects, and visit DeFuniak Springs Family Dental regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Proper care can help ensure your veneers remain beautiful and functional for many years.
