Dental Veneers in Jacksonville, Orange Park, & Starke, FL
Dental veneers are great if you’re experiencing crowding problems, chipped teeth, worn down teeth or have areas of stained teeth. Veneers are thin shells that are placed on the front surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance—they will hide any noticeable flaws and help the teeth appear straight and even.
The shade of veneers can be adjusted to your tooth color and they are applied with minimal discomfort. Dental veneers are strong and durable and will last for many years before they require replacement or repairs.
Every set of dental veneers is custom-designed based on your needs—so you get the results you want. This means we will make two appointments with you, the first to take impressions of your teeth and the second to apply and adjust the veneers to your teeth.
At Normandy Lake, we offer dental sedation for all treatments so you have a relaxing visit, every time.

A discussion about Dental Veneers with Dr. Lee
-
What are dental veneers, and how do they work?
Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They’re designed to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, chipped, misaligned, or have gaps. Veneers are a great way to enhance your smile’s aesthetics because they look natural and are highly durable.
-
What types of dental issues can veneers address?
Veneers can cover discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments, close small gaps between teeth, repair chips or cracks, and even make slightly misaligned teeth look straighter. They’re also an excellent option for patients who want a uniform and symmetrical smile, as we can customize the size, shape, and color of the veneers to match their preferences.
-
What is the process like for getting veneers?
The process typically involves two to three visits. During the first visit, we evaluate the patient’s teeth and discuss their goals to determine if veneers are the right option. If we move forward, we prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure the veneers fit properly. Then, we take impressions and send them to a lab to create the custom veneers. While the permanent veneers are being made, we may place temporary veneers to protect the teeth. At the final visit, we bond the veneers to the teeth and make any necessary adjustments. The entire process usually takes a few weeks from start to finish.
-
What’s the cost of getting veneers, and does insurance cover it?
The cost of veneers can vary depending on the material used and the number of teeth being treated. Typically, veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, so most insurance plans don’t cover them. However, we offer financing options to help make them more accessible.
-
What is the most important thing to know about veneers?
Veneers can truly transform a smile, but it’s important to have realistic expectations and understand the process. Anyone considering them should schedule a consultation to discuss the details and confirm that it’s the right choice for you.
