Understanding Dental Veneers: Your Guide to a Beautiful Smile
Dental veneers are a transformative cosmetic dentistry option that can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. We specialize in providing high-quality veneers tailored to meet your specific aesthetic goals. Whether you’re looking to fix a chipped tooth, close gaps, or achieve a brighter smile, dental veneers offer a versatile solution.
Understanding what dental veneers are is the first step toward achieving the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Essentially, veneers are thin shells made from porcelain or composite material that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
Choosing dental veneers means opting for a quick and effective way to enhance your smile. We offer comprehensive consultations to determine if veneers are the right option for you. Our team of experts will guide you through the entire process, from the initial assessment to the final placement of your veneers, ensuring you leave our clinic with a smile you’re proud to show off.
How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?
It’s a crucial consideration, especially when you’re investing in your smile. The longevity of dental veneers can vary depending on several factors, including the material used and how well you take care of them.
Porcelain veneers, which are the most popular type, typically last between 10 to 15 years. They are known for their durability and resistance to staining, making them a long-lasting option for those looking to enhance their smile. Composite veneers, on the other hand, generally last between 5 to 7 years but are easier to repair or replace.
Maintaining the longevity of your dental veneers involves regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene. Simple practices like avoiding hard foods that could chip the veneers and refraining from using your teeth as tools can extend their lifespan. We provide comprehensive aftercare guidelines to ensure you get the most out of your investment.
When it comes to enhancing your smile, choosing the right provider makes all the difference. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional quality and personalized care. Our team of skilled professionals uses state-of-the-art technology and materials to ensure that your veneers not only look natural but also stand the test of time.
What sets us apart is our commitment to patient satisfaction. From the moment you walk into our office, you’ll experience a welcoming atmosphere and a team dedicated to your dental health. We offer comprehensive consultations to understand your specific needs and aesthetic goals. Our customized treatment plans are designed to provide you with the most effective and long-lasting results, ensuring that your investment in dental veneers is a rewarding one.

Patrick Dion
Happy Client from Kirkland Office“Best dentist I’ve ever been to. Not only are they prompt and quick but they walk you through your care clearly and explain the how’s and why’s. For once if feels like having an office that has a comprehensive plan for me rather than me checking a box every year. The hygienists are empowered to spend time with you and even book appointments with them right in the chair. Could not recommend more.”
Barb Patterson
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office“I needed a dentist close to home and they are close enough for me to walk. I've been twice now and both times had a great experience. Dr. Jaswal has a wonderful chair-side manner and super sense of humor.”
Nelda Pettit
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office“I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas since he began his practice. He is thorough in his exams, and professional in his treatments. He has done root canals, implants, and crowns for me, and the results have always been very good.”
Christy Shiers
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office“Dr. Thomas is professional and knowledgeable. He is well suited for both kids and adults.”

Madeleine Dow
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office“Dr. Nguyen and the dental hygienists are super nice! I felt comfortable and safe—even the time I started crying when I had a panic attack before getting some cavities filled. (Sorry about that lol.) Anyways, Dr. Nguyen was very kind, gave me space to chill out, and didn’t make me feel embarrassed, even though I wouldn’t have blamed him if he did.”

Mary Berry
Happy Client from Kirkland Office“Very incompetent doctor dr. Thomas is after money. Don't believe anything he is saying. Other doctors are all recent college graduates with no experience. Don't trust them. Get a second opinion or just go some place else get your teeth done.”

Holly Yee
Happy Client from Kirkland Office“Such a wonderful dentist's office! The staff is always welcoming, efficient, and they do a great job with my oral care. The other day I had a tooth brush bristle stuck in between two of my teeth and needed to come in for a minute visit. They got me in that day and were able to remove the bristle. It was such a relief! Going to the dentist can somethings be uncomfortable, but at Thomas Dentistry I always feel taken care of.”
Linda Scott
Happy Client from Kirkland Office“I visited Thomas Dentistry as a new patient on 9/9/21 and was impressed with their friendliness and professionalism. While there, multiple staff joined in to help resolve a personal issue, for which I was very appreciative. My husband and I will definitely schedule again with Thomas Dentistry Kirkland, and I’ll recommend them to family and friends.”
Sue Dwyer

Dan Nordale
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office“Thomas Dentistry makes going to the dentist something to look forward to.”
Faith Hutcherson
Happy Client from Kirkland Office“Really enjoyed my experience here for a teeth whitening. The Kirkland location is great; it’s close to the freeway so it’s easy to find, and there was designated parking for patients. The staff (I’m talking from front desk to assistants to the doctor) were all very friendly and extremely efficient. I was talked through what they were doing so I felt at ease the entire time.”
