What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are custom-made to match your desired tooth shape, size, and color, making them ideal for correcting a variety of cosmetic concerns.
Veneers are commonly used to:
- Cover permanent discoloration
- Fix chipped or worn teeth
- Close gaps between teeth
- Correct minor misalignment
- Improve the overall shape of your smile
As part of a complete smile makeover, veneers can create a uniform, polished appearance without affecting the underlying structure of your teeth.
The Veneer Process at Goshen Smiles
Getting veneers typically involves two or three appointments, starting with a consultation and smile evaluation. Here's how the process works:
- Consultation and Planning
We begin with a full exam and discuss your smile goals. Dr. Fugate will recommend the best type of veneer based on your dental health and aesthetic preferences. - Tooth Preparation and Impressions
A very small amount of enamel is gently reshaped to make room for the veneer. We take digital impressions and send them to a trusted lab for custom fabrication. - Placement
Once your veneers are ready, we check the fit and appearance before bonding them to your teeth with a strong, lasting adhesive. Minor adjustments are made to ensure a perfect result.
We may also combine veneers with teeth whitening or Invisalign to achieve a fully customized aesthetic outcome.
Porcelain Veneers
Durable, Stain-Resistant, and Ultra-Natural
Porcelain veneers are the most popular type of veneer due to their lifelike appearance and long-lasting strength. At Goshen Smiles, we recommend porcelain veneers for patients seeking the highest quality cosmetic solution.
Benefits of porcelain veneers include:
- Superior resistance to staining
- A translucent, natural look that mimics real enamel
- Long-term durability (10 to 15+ years)
- Minimal removal of natural tooth structure
- Custom color, size, and shape matching
Porcelain is an excellent choice for patients looking to enhance several front teeth or completely reinvent their smile. We work with trusted labs to craft veneers that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Are Veneers Right for You?
Veneers are a great solution for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to make cosmetic improvements. They are not recommended for individuals with untreated decay, active gum disease, or excessive teeth grinding unless those issues are addressed first.
Dr. Fugate will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether veneers or alternatives like dental bonding, ceramic crowns, or tooth-colored fillings might better suit your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Composite veneers generally last 5 to 7 years.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered permanent because a small amount of enamel is removed to place them. However, they may need to be replaced over time.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Modern veneers are custom-shaded and shaped to match your natural teeth or improve their appearance. Porcelain veneers, in particular, offer highly natural results.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can improve the appearance of mildly crooked or uneven teeth. For more significant misalignment, we may recommend Invisalign first.
Will I need to change how I care for my teeth?
You’ll continue brushing and flossing as usual. Avoid biting hard objects, and visit us for regular cleanings and exams to keep your veneers in great shape.
Most patients benefit from visiting the dentist every six months. However, patients with certain conditions, such as gum disease, may need more frequent visits.
