A digital mockup shows you your projected smile before a single tooth is prepped. Smile Center Dentistry previews your result digitally before any enamel is touched.
A rushed veneer case is how patients end up with a smile that doesn't match their face. Proportions that work on a screen don't always translate — we check the design against your actual face and smile line.
We adjust shape and shade digitally until you approve it, not after the veneers are already made. Adjustments at the mockup stage cost nothing; changes after fabrication are a different story.
Not every case needs aggressive tooth reduction — we explain what your specific teeth actually require. We default to the most conservative prep that still achieves your desired result.
Composite can often be done in a single visit; porcelain takes longer but resists staining better — we explain both honestly. We'll tell you honestly if your case is better suited to one material over the other.
We don't consider the case finished until the fit and color are right, not just acceptable. We'd rather remake one veneer than have you live with a mismatch.
Not every smile concern needs the same veneer approach — here's what we offer after your design consult.
Custom-shaded in a dental lab to match — or intentionally brighten — your natural smile. Typically requires two visits: prep and impressions, then bonding.
A tooth-colored resin is sculpted directly onto your teeth, often completed in a single visit. We explain the shorter lifespan honestly compared to porcelain.
This step lets you request adjustments — length, shape, brightness — before we touch your teeth. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
We match a single veneer carefully to your surrounding natural teeth so it doesn't stand out. Ideal for isolated damage rather than an overall smile makeover.
A full-arch case gets extra planning time to ensure every veneer works together, not just individually. We stage complex cases in phases when that better serves the outcome.
For minor chips or gaps, cosmetic bonding can sometimes achieve a similar look without committing to a veneer. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.
We ask what you'd like to change about your smile when you book, so the consult is focused.
We create a digital mockup of your projected result for you to review and adjust.
Temporary veneers are placed while your custom ones are fabricated.
Your finished veneers are bonded and checked for fit, bite, and shade match.
"Seeing my projected smile on a screen before committing made the whole decision so much easier."
"Single veneer to fix a chipped front tooth — matched my other teeth so well you genuinely can't tell."
"Porcelain veneers three years in and they still look like the day I got them."
"Minimal-prep option kept more of my natural tooth intact, which mattered to me."
"The design consult alone was worth it. I changed my mind about the shape twice before we even started."
Lifespan depends on material and habits like grinding — we discuss realistic expectations at your consult. We'll recommend the material likely to hold up best for your specific habits.
Composite veneers often require no anesthesia at all since they involve less enamel removal. Any mild sensitivity afterward typically resolves within a few days.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. This step exists specifically so nothing is a surprise once we start.
Porcelain is more durable and stain-resistant but costs more and takes longer; composite is faster and cheaper but wears sooner. Composite can be touched up over time; porcelain generally can't be repaired the same way.
Composite veneers can sometimes be applied with little to no enamel removal at all. We always aim for the most conservative approach that still achieves your goal.
We break down per-tooth cost clearly so you can decide how many veneers fit your budget. We'd rather you understand the full cost before starting than be surprised partway through.
Our veneer team serves Walla Walla East and the surrounding zip codes with the same design-first process at every visit. Whether you want one tooth addressed or a full smile makeover, our Walla Walla East team handles both.
