How we think about veneers

Two ways to make a veneer

Two ways to make them: porcelain crafted in a lab, or a ceramic-filled resin printed here in the office, often in one visit. We'll tell you which we'd choose for your teeth, and why.

Printing costs less. That is a real advantage and an honest reason to choose it. Porcelain costs more because it carries decades of clinical follow-up behind it and, in laboratory testing, withstands repeated chewing force far longer than printed resin does. Both ask the same preparation of your enamel.

We lay both out at your consult, and the fuller comparison is in the questions below.

Restraint is the aim

The best veneer is the one nobody can point to. Shade, shape, and translucency are designed against your own face and the teeth beside it, not against a template.

Sometimes that means a single veneer. Sometimes a few, placed together for symmetry — every mouth is different.

The honest part

Preparing a tooth for a veneer usually means reshaping a small amount of enamel, and that step is not reversible.

So the decision deserves time, and we give it time. You review the plan, ask your questions, and start only when you are sure.

Designed on screen first

We begin with a digital scan — no trays of impression putty — and Dr. Oh designs the proposed result on screen.

That design is a projection, not a promise. But it lets us make the careful decisions early, together, while everything is still adjustable.

Sometimes the answer isn't veneers

Whitening or Invisalign® sometimes gets you where you want to be without touching enamel at all. When a smaller treatment fits your goal, that is what we recommend — and we say so plainly.
