Veneers in St. Louis Park, MN

What Are Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Each veneer is carefully crafted to match the shape, size, and color that complements your smile and facial features.

Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution for patients who want to address multiple imperfections at once, including:

• Chips or cracks in the enamel
• Stubborn discoloration or staining
• Worn-down or uneven teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Slightly misaligned or misshapen teeth

Because porcelain reflects light in a similar way to natural enamel, veneers offer a lifelike appearance that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Our Veneer Process at Creekside Dental

At Creekside Dental, we customize every smile with precision and attention to detail. Whether you're getting a single veneer or a full set, your treatment is personalized from start to finish.

What to Expect:

1. Consultation and Smile Design
   We’ll begin with a comprehensive cosmetic consultation. This includes digital imaging and intraoral scans to assess your smile and discuss your goals.
2. Tooth Preparation
   A thin layer of enamel is removed to ensure the veneers sit flush and look natural. We then take final impressions to send to our dental lab.
3. Temporary Veneers (If Needed)
   While your permanent veneers are being crafted, we may place temporaries to protect your prepared teeth.
4. Final Placement
   Once your veneers are ready, we bond them in place using a strong dental adhesive. After final adjustments and polishing, your new smile is complete.

Why Patients Choose Veneers

Veneers are one of the most requested cosmetic treatments because they provide immediate, dramatic results without extensive orthodontic or restorative work.

Benefits of veneers include:

• Instant improvement in color, shape, and symmetry
• Highly durable and stain-resistant
• Conservative treatment with minimal enamel removal
• Natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony
• Long-lasting solution with proper care (10+ years)

Veneers are often the foundation of a full smile makeover and can be paired with other treatments like teeth whitening or Invisalign for even more transformative results.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers are ideal for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve the appearance of their front teeth. If you’re dealing with minor damage, discoloration, or spacing issues, veneers can be a fast and effective solution.

They may not be recommended for patients who:

• Clench or grind their teeth heavily (unless wearing a nightguard)
• Have active tooth decay or gum disease
• Are looking to correct significant alignment or bite problems (may be better suited for braces or clear aligners)

During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and provide honest recommendations to ensure veneers are the right fit for your needs and goals.

Caring for Your Veneers

With good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings, veneers can last well over a decade. To get the most out of your investment:

• Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
• Floss carefully around veneers to protect gum health
• Avoid biting directly into hard objects (ice, fingernails, pens)
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
• Keep up with your routine dental exams and cleanings

Veneers are stain-resistant, but we still recommend limiting dark foods and beverages — like coffee, red wine, and berries — to preserve their brightness over time.
