A Versatile Solution Problems That Porcelain Veneers Can Treat
A veneer is an ultra-thin porcelain shell that is placed over the front of a flawed tooth. The procedure can treat all kinds of cosmetic issues that affect people's smiles.
A veneer can easily mask minor fractures on the front teeth, making your smile look pristine.
A dental veneer effectively conceals stains and other kinds of stubborn tooth discoloration.
Veneers can eliminate small gaps and spaces between teeth, improving a person's smile.
Veneers can cover minor tooth misalignment, earning them the nickname "instant orthodontics."
Unevenly shaped teeth can be addressed with one or two dental veneers for an enhanced look.
Well-placed veneers can help improve the symmetry and harmony of your smile.
Candidates for Porcelain Veneers Understanding Basic Criteria
To qualify for porcelain veneers, patients need to meet certain criteria. We can discuss candidacy and cosmetic treatment alternatives during a consultation.
Patients' concerns about a tooth or teeth should be primarily cosmetic in nature. Stained teeth can be treated, but discoloration from an infection cannot. Serious issues require restorative care.

A patient's teeth should be in overall good health going into the procedure. There should be no deeper structural issues present that necessitate a restoration such as a crown, inlay, or onlay.

To place an ultra-thin veneer, a small amount of enamel is removed (usually less than 1mm). This provides a natural look. A lack of enamel means an alternative treatment is necessary.

Each patient is different, and we'll provide a detailed rundown of the veneers procedure during a consultation at our Colorado Springs office. This step-by-step guide offers a general overview of the process.
A complete smile makeover can be achieved using just a few porcelain veneers.
Records Appointment
The records appointment is a chance to discuss patient goals and expectations so that we can determine if veneers are right for you. Dr. Streeter or another member of our team will also take digital scans of your teeth.
Mock-Ups and Models
Using the digital scans, we can create a preview of the final results of your treatment. We can also use our 3D printer to create a model of this digital mock-up so our patients can provide feedback.
Prepping the Teeth
If the patient is satisfied with the mock-up and models of treatment, we can then prep their teeth. We'll remove as little enamel as possible so the natural teeth remain strong and healthy.
Digital Impressions
After the enamel removal step, detailed digital impressions are taken for the fabrication process. This helps ensure the dental veneers fit properly once they're in place.
In-Office Veneers Fabrication
Rather than traditional porcelain, our veneers are made from e.max material, which is sturdy and stain-resistant. We mill them at the practice, making treatment faster and more convenient.
Placing the Dental Veneers
When the custom e.max shells are completed, they are checked one last time for fit before they are secured in place. The results are immediate and offer an instant boost in your confidence.
Take a closer look...
Veneers completely cover the visible surface of the tooth so they can mask a myriad of concerns.
Pricing and Financing Information
Patients at our Colorado Springs office often have questions about the cost of treatment. Our team focuses on patient education and making sure they feel directly involved with the process.
Providing an Estimate
In order to provide an estimate, you will first need to meet with our team. The price varies based on the needs of the patient, the complexity of the case, and whether you combine procedures. As a purely cosmetic and elective treatment, veneers are not covered by insurance.
Discussing Your Concerns
We take time to discuss the pros and cons of the procedure, and suggest affordable alternatives when needed. Dental bonding, for example, offers a lower-cost solution in some cases. We are here to listen and to use our insight to help you.
Picking a Payment Option
Monthly payment plans can put the cost of cosmetic dentistry treatments within reach on any budget. We accept all major credit cards, offer patient financing through CareCredit® and GreenSky®, and provide in-house discount plans.

I just switched dental offices and honestly I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I had a tiny chip in my front tooth and unlike my previous dentist, that was fixed right away once I addressed my concerns to Dr. Streeter. It feels so good to smile again! In addition, he also filled my first cavity and did an amazing job. Dr. Streeter along with his whole team were so knowledgeable, and they definitely went above and beyond my expectations. Such a great staff, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I love Streeter Dental!
