Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a highly effective and popular cosmetic option for improving your smile, offering both simplicity and beautiful results.
Dental Veneers in Ogden, Utah
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front surface of teeth to conceal imperfections like chips, stains, or crowding, creating a straighter, more uniform smile. Designed to match your natural tooth color, veneers are strong, durable, and applied with minimal discomfort, often lasting many years before replacement is needed. At Haslam Dental, the process typically involves two appointments—the first to take detailed scans of your teeth and the second to place and adjust the veneers for a flawless fit and natural look.

Veneers vs. crowns—what’s the difference?
Both dental veneers and crowns can improve the appearance of teeth by addressing chips, stains, discoloration, and misalignment. The key difference is that crowns cover the entire tooth, while veneers only cover the front surface. Crowns are thicker (about 2 mm) and add strength to weakened teeth, whereas veneers are thinner (about 1 mm), less invasive, and require minimal removal of natural tooth structure. Costs for both treatments are generally comparable.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to conceal imperfections, improve alignment, and even adjust spacing by refining thickness. In some cases, a small amount of enamel may be reduced before placement, depending on the type of veneers. The process is simple, involving minimal preparation followed by secure attachment with dental adhesive for a natural, long-lasting result.

What is the difference between porcelain veneers and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted in a dental lab that are highly durable, stain-resistant, and can last 10–15 years or more with proper care. Composite veneers, on the other hand, are made from tooth-colored resin applied directly to the teeth in a single visit. While they’re more affordable and easier to repair, they aren’t as strong or long-lasting as porcelain, usually lasting around 5–7 years. Both options improve the look of your smile, but porcelain offers greater durability and a more natural, lifelike appearance.
