Porcelain Veneers Designed Around Your Natural Smile
Custom porcelain that refines shape, shade, and proportion — and still looks like you.
Veneers are thin, hand-crafted layers of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. Designed and placed by Dr. Allen, they refine shape, shade, spacing, and symmetry while still looking unmistakably like you.
BeforeAfterWhat this treatment involves.
Veneers are ideal when small imperfections add up: uneven edges, permanent discoloration that whitening can't lift, narrow gaps, worn or chipped front teeth, or teeth that appear too small for your face. Rather than treating each concern separately, veneers address them together as one cohesive smile design.
Two materials are most common. Porcelain veneers offer the most lifelike translucency, stain resistance, and longevity — typically ten to twenty years with good care. Composite veneers are less invasive and less expensive but are more prone to staining and wear. Dr. Allen will help you choose based on your goals, budget, and how much natural enamel we can preserve.
Every case begins with a smile design session — photos, digital previews, and often a wax mockup you can try in your mouth. Nothing about your final smile is guesswork; you approve the shape and shade before we begin preparation. Alternatives such as clear aligners or professional whitening are always discussed if they can achieve your goals more conservatively.
You may need or want this treatment if…
- You want to refine the shape, length, or symmetry of your front teeth.
- Discoloration doesn't respond to whitening.
- You have small chips, worn edges, or narrow gaps to close.
- You're planning a milestone — a wedding, a new chapter, a photograph — and want your smile to feel like the best version of itself.
Why patients choose this treatment.
- Reshape chipped, worn, or uneven teeth
- Brighten permanently, even when whitening cannot
- Close small gaps without orthodontics
- Stain-resistant, natural-looking porcelain
- A cohesive smile design, not a template
Who this is a good fit for.
- Patients with healthy teeth and gums seeking cosmetic refinement
- Anyone dissatisfied with shape, spacing, or shade of front teeth
- Patients preparing for a wedding, milestone, or public role
- Non-grinders or patients willing to wear a night guard to protect veneers
A calm, considered process — from consultation to completion.

Caring for your smile afterward.
Care for veneers exactly as you care for natural teeth — brushing, flossing, and regular hygiene visits. Avoid biting hard objects like pens or ice, and wear a custom night guard if you grind or clench.
How long do porcelain veneers last?+
With good care, porcelain veneers routinely last ten to twenty years. Composite veneers typically last five to seven years.
Do veneers ruin your natural teeth?+
Preparation removes a small amount of enamel — much less than a crown — and preserves as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Will veneers look natural?+
Yes. Every case is designed around your face, personality, and how your teeth already look — never a generic template.
Can I whiten my veneers later?+
Porcelain doesn't respond to whitening. We whiten your natural teeth first, then match veneers to that shade.
What if I grind my teeth at night?+
Grinding wears both natural teeth and veneers. A custom night guard is strongly recommended to protect your investment.
