Porcelain Veneers
What Are Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells. They fit snugly over the front surfaces of the teeth to conceal cosmetic dental concerns like damage, small gaps, and minor misalignment issues.
During a porcelain veneer placement appointment, your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth, gently shaping them to accommodate the veneers. They will then attach veneers to the front surfaces of your teeth, creating a near-instant smile upgrade. The process is virtually painless and can be completed in just two appointments.

Traditional vs. No-Prep Veneers
Traditional Veneers
Traditional dental veneers can be made from a range of materials, including composite resin, zirconia, and porcelain. Our cosmetic dentist in Lake Jackson, TX, prefers porcelain for its durability and lifelike qualities. When crafting veneers from porcelain, we can precisely match your restorations to the shade, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring seamless results. When placing your traditional porcelain veneers, your dentist will have to remove a small amount of enamel from the surface of your teeth, making them a more permanent treatment option. Porcelain veneers can last over 15 years with good dental care.
No-Prep Veneers
These veneers can also be made of lifelike porcelain, but they don't require your dentist to alter the structure of your natural teeth for placement, which makes the treatment reversible. However, it is important to understand that because they are bonded directly to the enamel, they can potentially affect the surfaces of your teeth. No-prep veneers tend to be thinner than traditional veneers, so they are best suited for concealing minor cosmetic issues. Severe discoloration and damage may be more effectively addressed with traditional dental veneers. No-prep dental veneers typically last for five to seven years.

Are Porcelain Veneers Covered by Insurance?
Veneers fall under the cosmetic dentistry umbrella, which means they are considered elective and not covered by dental insurance plans.
However, we don't want insurance eligibility or financial limitations to come between our patients and the transformative cosmetic treatments they're looking for. This is why our Lake Jackson, TX, proudly accepts financing options, including CareCredit®. CareCredit offers loans with little or no interest, repayable in flexible monthly installments. With financing, you can achieve your cosmetic goals while staying comfortably within your budget.
