The Secret to a Hollywood Smile
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They improve your smile by changing the color, shape, size, or length of your teeth. At Yeo Family Dental Group, we offer two main types of veneers:
Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are highly durable and natural-looking, these resist stains and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth.
Composite Resin Veneers: Composite veneers offer a more affordable option that can be completed in one visit with minimal enamel removal, offering a beautiful smile enhancement.
Dr. Jamie Yeo, DDS, and Dr. Rosita Tan, DMD, use their extensive experience to create dental veneers that perfectly complement your facial features and desired outcomes.
Transform Your Smile
What is the dental veneer procedure like?
- Consultation and Planning: Dr. Jamie or Dr. Tan will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan for dental veneers that naturally enhance the appearance of your smile.
- Preparation: We'll gently remove a small amount of enamel (about 0.5mm) from your tooth surface to accommodate the dental veneer. Temporary veneers can be placed to provide a cosmetically pleasing appearance while your permanent veneers are crafted.
- Color Matching: We'll carefully select the veneer shade to match your natural teeth or achieve your desired brightness.
- Fabrication: For porcelain veneers, we'll send impressions to a dental laboratory for custom creation. Composite veneers are crafted in-office.
- Bonding: We'll check the fit, shape, and color of your veneers before permanently bonding them to your teeth using dental cement.
- Final Adjustments: We'll make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable and your new smile looks perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing between composite veneers and porcelain veneers depends on factors like your budget, preferences regarding the details of your treatment, and aesthetic goals. Composite veneers are more affordable and can be applied in a single visit, making them a convenient option for immediate results. They are, however, less durable and may require more frequent repairs or replacements over time.
Traditional porcelain veneers, while more expensive, offer superior durability and a more natural, translucent appearance that closely mimics natural teeth. They are stain-resistant and can last many years with proper care. However, porcelain veneers require more modification to the natural tooth structure, therefore requiring a long-term commitment. Consider your long-term dental goals, financial situation, and the specific recommendations of your dentist to make the best choice for your smile.
