Porcelain Veneers

A Natural-Looking Way to Transform Your Smile

If you feel self-conscious about chipped, stained, uneven, worn, or misshapen teeth, porcelain veneers can create a brighter, more balanced smile. At Crews Dental, we offer custom porcelain veneers for patients in St. Louis, Webster Groves, and the Greater St. Louis area who want cosmetic dentistry that looks natural and supports long-term function.
Veneers are thin porcelain restorations that are custom-made to cover the front surfaces of selected teeth. They can improve tooth color, shape, length, spacing, and symmetry while preserving a natural appearance.
At Crews Dental, veneer planning goes beyond esthetics. We consider your teeth, bite, jaw joints, facial muscles, and gum health so your new smile is designed to look good and function comfortably.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers Crews Dental

Porcelain veneers can address several cosmetic concerns at the same time. Benefits may include:

Veneers can be used on their own or as part of a larger smile makeover.

Veneers Designed for Function and Esthetics

A beautiful smile should also feel comfortable when you bite, chew, speak, and smile. Before recommending veneers, we evaluate tooth position, gum health, bite forces, tooth wear, jaw comfort, and the amount of healthy enamel available.

 

This function-first approach helps us design veneers that complement your smile without placing unnecessary stress on the teeth or joints.

What Can Veneers Improve?

Veneers may be considered for:

  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Teeth that do not respond well to whitening
  • Chipped or worn teeth
  • Small gaps or uneven spacing
  • Misshapen or undersized teeth
  • Minor alignment or symmetry concerns
  • Uneven tooth length
  • Older cosmetic bonding that needs an update
For some patients, Invisalign®, whitening, bonding, or restorative treatment may be recommended before veneers to create a more conservative or predictable result.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate for veneers if your teeth and gums are healthy and you want to make a lasting cosmetic change to the front teeth.

Veneers may not be the best choice when there is active gum disease, untreated decay, severe bite imbalance, heavy grinding, or too little healthy enamel. If another treatment would better protect your teeth or achieve your goals, we will explain the alternatives clearly.

The Porcelain Veneer Process

Your veneer plan starts with a conversation about what you would like to change and what kind of result feels natural for you. The process may include:

  • Smile evaluation and treatment planning
  • Selection of tooth shape, proportion, and shade
  • Conservative preparation of the teeth when needed
  • Precise impressions or digital records
  • Temporary veneers in appropriate cases
  • Final placement, bite adjustment, and polishing
Before the veneers are bonded, we evaluate fit, color, shape, and bite so the final result feels balanced and natural.

Veneers and Smile Makeovers

Veneers often work best when they are planned alongside the rest of the smile. Depending on your goals, treatment may be combined with:

  • Teeth whitening
  • Invisalign®
  • Dental bonding
  • Dental crowns
  • Cosmetic Botox
  • Bite evaluation
  • Replacement of older restorations
  • Periodontal care before cosmetic treatment
For example, straightening teeth before veneers may allow for more conservative tooth preparation, while whitening first can help establish the shade for nearby natural teeth.

Caring for Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are durable, but they still need consistent care. Brush and floss daily, keep up with routine dental visits, avoid chewing ice or hard objects, and do not use your teeth as tools.
If you clench or grind, a night guard may be recommended to protect the veneers and surrounding teeth. Good gum health and a stable bite are important for keeping your new smile looking and feeling its best.
