Dental Veneers Veneers are a thin layer of material that is placed over the front surface of a tooth. Veneers can be either porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers are considered the more durable and esthetically pleasing option, but composite resin veneers are another popular alternative. Placing veneers is a multi-step process that takes place over several appointments. At the first appointment, our dentist at Kaw Valley Family Dental will discuss your goals and expectations with you and examine your teeth and mouth to ensure that you are a good candidate for veneers. Next, our dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small portion of enamel from their front surfaces. This step is necessary in order to make room for the veneer and prevent them from appearing bulky. Finally, the dentist will install the veneers.
