Whether it's one chipped tooth or a full smile makeover, Dental Veneers in Troy starts with a design conversation, not a drill. Smile Center Dentistry previews your result digitally before any enamel is touched.
Veneers are permanent once enamel is removed, so we make sure you approve the design first. We'd rather spend extra time on the mockup stage than redo a finished case.
We adjust shape and shade digitally until you approve it, not after the veneers are already made. We walk through the mockup together, not just email you a file to review alone.
When your case allows it, we use minimal-prep veneers that preserve more of your natural enamel. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
We walk through the durability, cost, and appearance trade-offs between porcelain and composite before you choose. We'll tell you honestly if your case is better suited to one material over the other.
We don't consider the case finished until the fit and color are right, not just acceptable. We'd rather remake one veneer than have you live with a mismatch.
Not every smile concern needs the same veneer approach — here's what we offer after your design consult.
Thin, durable porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth for a long-lasting, stain-resistant result. Typically requires two visits: prep and impressions, then bonding.
A more affordable, reversible option for patients who want results without committing to porcelain. We explain the shorter lifespan honestly compared to porcelain.
This step lets you request adjustments — length, shape, brightness — before we touch your teeth. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
A chipped or discolored single tooth can often be addressed with one veneer rather than a full smile case. Ideal for isolated damage rather than an overall smile makeover.
For patients addressing multiple teeth at once, we plan shape, shade, and symmetry across the full arch. We stage complex cases in phases when that better serves the outcome.
We'll tell you if bonding could accomplish your goal at a lower cost before recommending veneers. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.
We ask what you'd like to change about your smile when you book, so the consult is focused.
We create a digital mockup of your projected result for you to review and adjust.
Minimal tooth preparation, followed by impressions or a digital scan sent to the lab.
We confirm you're happy with the result before you leave the chair.
"Seeing my projected smile on a screen before committing made the whole decision so much easier."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Porcelain veneers three years in and they still look like the day I got them."
"Minimal-prep option kept more of my natural tooth intact, which mattered to me."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
Lifespan depends on material and habits like grinding — we discuss realistic expectations at your consult. We'll recommend the material likely to hold up best for your specific habits.
Composite veneers often require no anesthesia at all since they involve less enamel removal. Any mild sensitivity afterward typically resolves within a few days.
Yes — our digital smile design mockup shows your projected result before any prep work begins. We can adjust the mockup as many times as needed until you're satisfied.
Porcelain is more durable and stain-resistant but costs more and takes longer; composite is faster and cheaper but wears sooner. Composite can be touched up over time; porcelain generally can't be repaired the same way.
Composite veneers can sometimes be applied with little to no enamel removal at all. We always aim for the most conservative approach that still achieves your goal.
Cost depends on material and how many teeth are involved — we give a specific quote after your design consult. Financing options are available for larger cases.
