A SMILE
That Still Feels Like You
Most people can pinpoint exactly what bothers them about their smile:
A chipped front tooth, a dark spot that never seems to whiten, or edges that look worn or uneven. Maybe you’re just not feeling your smile anymore.
Veneers are a great way to reshape the parts of your smile that bother you while keeping the overall look natural. Made from a thin layer of porcelain or composite material, they are placed over the front of the teeth to adjust the shape, shade, length, or overall appearance of your smile.
At Silva Dentistry, the goal is not to make your smile look like everyone else’s. A good veneer should look like it belongs to you, just a little brighter, smoother, and more balanced.

Porcelain vs. Composite
The right veneer choice depends on your teeth, your goals, and how much change you want to make.
Porcelain veneers are a good fit for patients who want a polished change that can hold up well with daily life. They catch light in a way that looks very similar to natural enamel, which is why they can look soft and real instead of flat or artificial. They also hold their color well, which helps when several front teeth need to look natural together.
Composite veneers are made with tooth-colored resin, similar to bonding. They can work well for small chips, worn edges, or slight reshaping. They may not last as long as porcelain, but they can still make a real difference.
How the Process Works
Your consultation starts with what you notice about your smile. Before-and-after photos can help make veneers a bit easier to picture. You can see how small changes, like smoothing a worn edge or closing a small space, can bring the smile back into balance.
During the consultation, Dr. Silva will check your teeth, gums, and bite to make sure veneers are a good fit. If they are, the next step is planning the shape, shade, and feel of the veneers. Sometimes, a small amount of enamel is shaped so it can sit naturally on the teeth.
When your veneers are ready, Dr. Silva checks the fit, color, and bite before bonding them in place. Small adjustments help make sure your smile feels comfortable and looks like you.
