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.

“Everyone is very kind from the start. I have high anxiety dealing with my teeth and dentists; and everyone was incredibly helpful and informative! I'm really happy I found this place for my smile needs!”

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.”

“I have been a patient at Thomas dentistry for over 10 years and have always appreciated their open and friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful advice, use of new technology and methods, consistent and kind care. Dr. Thomas, Dr. Nguyen, and Dr. Jaswal have all demonstrated genuine care and interest in their patient’s lives, dental health and history, and other medical concerns. I admire their dedication to providing excellent solutions to dental problems, and patience with special issues. I would recommend this team to everyone!”

“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.”

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.”

Milo

Happy Client from Kirkland Office

“Great dentist! I came after Covid for my first checkup and cleaning, and ended up needing to have some childhood crowns replaced. During the process they were very thorough, even once getting a crown remade to have a perfect fit. One of those visits came in under the estimate. I appreciate the care they take in their practice. The staff are always nice and fun to talk to. Since my first series I’ve come here for over a year and have always had great experiences. Still need to floss more but the dentists and assistants are super nice about it! Also have great reminder system, and are very patient and thorough when working on insurance issues.”

Peter Christian

Happy Client from Mercer Island Office

“I did not have a dentist in the Seattle area and choose Thomas Dentistry because they were close and nearby. Boy, did I strike gold! I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and I needed some work done to get clearance for a other medical procedure. They were so great in getting me set up and expediting my treatments. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I can highly recommend them for your dental work.”

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.”

Nicholas Smith

Happy Client from Kirkland Office

“Very happy with the prompt service. I would highly recommend Thomas Dentistry!”

Elaina Sh

Happy Client from Kirkland Office

“Went to that office last year to get a crown on implant and Dr. Thomas did the ugliest crown possible. Shape and height looked completely different from natural tooth I had in that place before. He did not even try to fix it. This year my new dentist confirmed that the crown should have been done completely different but now Im stuck with this crown for a while because it will cost a ton to re-do it since that is a dental implant crown, not just a regular crown. I guess I missed the first red flag when they said they do root canals and extractions too. Of course, why even going to roots canals specialists and oral surgeons if You can get a “buffet of services” at Dr. Thomas! Also Molly at the front desk is the rudest receptionist I ve even seen, billing office could not get the numbers right and overcharged me for about $800 then refunded but can this office be more unprofessional and thirsty for money?!!”

Jovany Lopez

Happy Client from Kirkland Office

“Highly recommended. Everyone is so friendly and it was a great experience. Great nurses and Dentist.”
