Why Should I Get Veneers?
Veneers offer a quick and effective solution for a range of dental issues. If you're self-conscious about your smile due to stained, chipped, or uneven teeth, veneers can provide a transformative solution. They are designed to mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth, meaning you can smile, talk, and eat with confidence. Additionally, veneers are resistant to staining, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and drinks without worrying about discoloration.

The Benefits Of Veneers
Improved Aesthetics
Veneers are a fantastic way to enhance your smile and overall facial aesthetics. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic issues, including stains, chips, gaps, and misshapen teeth. By choosing veneers, you're opting for a personalized treatment plan designed to give you the smile you've always dreamed of.
Durability and Longevity
Veneers are made from high-quality porcelain, which is known for its durability. With proper care, your veneers can last for many years, providing you with a long-lasting, beautiful smile. They are also resistant to staining, so your smile can stay bright and white for a longer length of time.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Veneers require minimal tooth alteration compared to other dental procedures. Only a small amount of enamel is removed to make room for the veneers. In some cases, no preparation is even necessary. This ensures that most or all of the natural tooth structure is preserved.
The Veneers Treatment Process
Consultation and Planning
The first step in the process involves a thorough consultation with Dr. Seema Ahmed or Dr. Mohammad Barra. During this meeting, they will evaluate your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether veneers are the right solution for you.
Preparation
Once you've decided to proceed with veneers, the next step is preparation. In some cases, this involves removing a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to make room for the veneers. Dr. Ahmed or Dr. Barra will then take scans or impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create your custom veneers.
Application
When your veneers are ready, you'll return to our office for the final step of the process - the application. Dr. Ahmed or Dr. Barra will carefully bond the veneers to your teeth, making sure they fit perfectly and look natural. With your new veneers in place, you'll be ready to show off your stunning, confident smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers and how can they benefit my smile?
Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells—made from porcelain or high-quality composite resin—that bond to the front of your teeth to create a more beautiful, balanced smile. They’re a versatile solution for improving discoloration, chips, worn edges, uneven spacing, or mild misalignment. At Old Town Smiles, Dr. Seema Ahmed and Dr. Mohammad Barra use advanced techniques and materials to ensure your veneers look natural, feel comfortable, and complement your facial features.
The benefits go beyond appearance. Veneers are highly durable, resist staining, and can help strengthen teeth with minor structural wear. With attentive home care and regular professional visits, they can last a decade or more, making them a long-term investment in your confidence, oral health, and overall self-image.
What is the process for getting veneers at Old Town Smiles?
Every smile makeover begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Ahmed or Dr. Barra as well as a digital smile design to allow you to preview your new smile before committing, also giving you the option to make changes so that your smile perfectly reflects your goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your vision, assess your teeth and gums, and make sure veneers are the right option for your needs. We’ll also walk you through the process step by step so you feel informed and confident before we begin.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Digital Smile Design – Preview your smile before your teeth are ever touched! Nothing beats predictability when it comes to designing your smile. The digital design allows you to see what you would look like, using special technology and cutting edge AI software to simulate your new look!
- Preparation – A minimal amount of enamel is reshaped to allow the veneer to sit seamlessly and securely.
- Digital Scan – After reshaping, we take a precise digital scan to design your final veneers to fit your bite and enhance your natural smile.
- Temporaries – We’ll place temporary veneers to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new look while your custom set is crafted, allowing you to “test drive” your new smile. Changes can still be made at this point, to the fit or the look of the final veneers.
- Placement – Once your veneers are ready, we’ll bond them using advanced adhesives, make fine adjustments for a perfect fit, and polish them to a flawless finish.
The result: a rejuvenated smile that feels like it’s always belonged to you.
How long do veneers last, and how should I care for them?
With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years—or even longer. The key is maintaining the same high level of oral care you would for natural teeth. This includes:
- Brushing twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste
- Flossing daily to protect gum health
- Scheduling professional cleanings and checkups every 6 months
We also recommend avoiding habits that could damage veneers, such as biting into ice, opening packages with your teeth, or chewing on pens. If you grind or clench your teeth, a custom nightguard can help protect your veneers and your natural teeth. And while porcelain is stain-resistant, moderating coffee, tea, and red wine can keep your smile looking its brightest.
Are veneers right for everyone?
Veneers are an excellent option for many patients, but they do require healthy gums and sufficient enamel. They’re not recommended for untreated gum disease, active decay, or severe bite misalignment without prior correction. If you clench or grind your teeth, we may recommend a protective strategy before moving forward.
During your consultation, Dr. Ahmed or Dr. Barra will evaluate your oral health, listen to your aesthetic goals, and determine if veneers—or another treatment—will give you the best, healthiest, and most natural-looking results. You’ll leave with a clear, personalized treatment plan that supports both your smile goals and your long-term dental wellness.
