Dental Implants Veneers

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to transform their appearance. Porcelain veneers last 10-20 years and resist staining. They correct chips, gaps, discoloration, and misalignment in as few as 2-3 appointments.

Porcelain lifespan: 10-20 years | Composite: 5-7 years | Appointments: 1-3

Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements using a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone. The implant fuses with bone over 3-6 months (osseointegration), then a custom crown is attached. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth with a 95-98% success rate.

Success rate: 95-98% | Lifespan: 20+ years | Timeline: 3-9 months
