Bring Out the True Beauty of Your Smile with Custom Dental Veneers in Franklin, TN

Dental veneers are ultra-thin restorations—typically made from porcelain or composite resin—that cover the front-facing surfaces of teeth. They’re custom designed to enhance the shape, color, and size of each tooth while maintaining a natural, lifelike appearance. Porcelain is the most common material used for long-term results due to its strength, durability, and stain resistance.

Our veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns:

• Discoloration: Veneers can mask deeply stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening treatments, restoring a luminous, even-toned smile.
• Gaps or spacing: Slight gaps between teeth can be closed with veneers, creating a more harmonious and uniform appearance.
• Misshapen or undersized teeth: Veneers can lengthen, reshape, or rebalance teeth that look too small, pointy, or uneven.
• Worn or chipped teeth: Years of wear, grinding, or accidental damage can leave teeth looking aged or jagged. Veneers rebuild lost structure for a smoother, more youthful smile.

Our doctors—Dr. Ryan Jones and Dr. Caleb Estes—combine leading-edge digital design tools with an artistic eye to ensure each veneer blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

The lifespan of your veneers depends on the material used and how well they’re maintained:

• Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
• Composite veneers generally last 5–8 years and may require more frequent touch-ups or replacement.

Veneers are incredibly durable, but like natural teeth, they require regular care to stay strong and look their best. Here are a few ways to protect your investment:

• Practice great oral hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
• Avoid excessive pressure: If you grind or clench your teeth, talk to us about a custom nightguard to protect your veneers and natural teeth.
• Keep up with professional cleanings: Regular dental visits allow us to monitor your veneers and catch potential issues early.
• Limit staining habits: While porcelain resists stains, surrounding teeth can darken from tobacco or coffee. Staying mindful helps maintain an even, bright smile.

Eventually, veneers may need to be replaced due to normal wear—but many patients enjoy them for decades with no issues.

While veneers are an excellent solution for many cosmetic concerns, they may not be right for everyone. Individuals with active gum disease, untreated tooth decay, or severe bite misalignment might need to address those issues first before becoming a candidate for veneer treatment. During your consultation, we’ll perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if veneers are right for you—or if another treatment may be a better first step.

Veneers are considered a long-term solution, but not technically permanent. The process requires minor enamel removal, which makes it irreversible. However, most patients keep veneers for 10–15 years before replacement.
