What are Veneers?
Veneers are ceramic restorations that are designed to be incredibly thin, yet extra durable and non-porous. Each one of these sheaths are bonded to your visible teeth in order to hide cosmetic flaws with ease. Whether you have permanent stains that no amount of whitening can remove, esthetic chips or cracks that stick out in your smile, or gaps that you’d rather not address with orthodontics, they can get the job done. Since they’re also stain-resistant (especially compared to enamel, which is naturally porous), you can eat your favorite foods without much worry.
How Does the Procedure Work?
When Dr. Golparvar places veneers, you can expect a treatment that is relatively simple, straightforward, and virtually pain-free. Ahead of your procedure, you’ll need to have your smile examined so we can learn your specific cosmetic goals.
Once we know that you are a good candidate for veneers (meaning you have no dental disease that requires treatment first), we’ll begin preparing your teeth so they can receive them. In order for the veneers to sit flush, you’ll need to have a very small amount of enamel removed. From there, we’ll capture impressions of your teeth and send them to our dedicated dental lab who creates the restorations. Until then, you’ll wear temporary restorations so you can get used to what your permanent veneers will look like.
Once they arrive, you’ll be called in for one final appointment to have the temporary veneers removed and the permanent ones placed. Ahead of bonding them to your natural enamel, we’ll ensure that they meet your exact specifications, including the shade of your neighboring teeth. After placement, we’ll give them a quick polish and confirm your next dental checkup has been scheduled!
How Can Veneers Benefit Me?
Veneers provide many notable benefits that are unique from other cosmetic treatments. For example, you can expect:
- A treatment that resolves several imperfections at the same time
- A material that is kind to gum tissue
- A restoration that can resist stains better than natural teeth
- Full customization, ensuring they blend in with your nearby teeth
- Exceptional longevity when properly practicing at-home care and attending routine checkups

Learn MoreCost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?
Even if you have your heart set on getting veneers in Manchester, it’s still incredibly important to explore all of your available options. There are multiple cosmetic solutions that can help you obtain long-lasting and stunning results at different price points. Let’s take a closer look at some of the services we offer:
- Dental Bonding – If you have minor dental imperfections, you may want to consider dental bonding. It’s a relatively fast and cost-effective treatment that can improve your smile in as little as one hour! However, you should keep in mind that your results will not last very long, meaning you’ll need to get this service redone every few years.
- Teeth Whitening – You can easily change the color of your smile with teeth whitening. Although it’s quick and affordable, it’s also limited in its ability to improve your grin. This service can only help with the color of your teeth, not the shape or position.
- Veneers – This option is the most expensive of the bunch, but it’s the fastest way to completely transform every aspect of your grin. Veneers can address the color, shape, and position of your teeth in just a few short appointments. Best of all, you can preserve your results for years to come with proper care and maintenance.

Veneers FAQs
Are you interested in beautifying your pearly whites? One of the most popular and comprehensive ways to do this is with veneers. While this treatment is a major investment and provides numerous benefits, it’s natural to want to know as much as possible before committing to it. For this reason, our team has taken the time to compile and answer several of the most commonly asked questions about veneers in Manchester. Read on or give our office a call today to learn more about this procedure and what to expect!
Learn MoreHow Many Veneers Will I Need?
Our goal with veneers is for all of the visible teeth in your smile to match perfectly. This means you’ll receive an appropriate number of porcelain layers to achieve your ideal results. If you only have one pesky tooth that’s bothering you, then you may only require a single veneer to address the issue. Some patients may get as many as 6 to 8 veneers to conceal multiple imperfections, providing a more comprehensive smile makeover. During your initial consultation, we will assess your situation and walk you through a more exact number that can best address your dental needs to create the look you’ve always dreamed of.
Are Veneers Permanent?
Veneers will eventually have to be replaced, so they aren’t considered a permanent cosmetic solution for your smile. That said, they are irreversible, as they’ll require removing a tiny portion of your enamel from the front side of your affected teeth. Since this won’t grow back on its own, you’ll need to keep your pearly whites covered and protected by either a dental crown or veneer moving forward. Although this treatment isn’t permanent, the porcelain shells will be durable and lifelike, and they can last 15 years or more with proper care!
Do Veneers Feel Like Real Teeth?
Many people claim that veneers feel completely normal on their smile as long as they’re properly placed. Most don’t even notice them while eating or talking. Our team only works with the best materials and dental technicians to construct your veneers. This allows the porcelain shells to fit your teeth seamlessly, meaning they won’t feel bulky and unnatural. The material will also be smooth and comfortable, which will help avoid irritating your soft oral tissues in the long run. Overall, they should feel like they’re part of your smile once they’ve been cemented and polished.
Will I Still Be Able to Drink Coffee with Veneers?
One of the best qualities of veneers is that they’re highly resistant to stains. Since they’re constructed out of non-porous porcelain, the particles from dark-colored meals and drinks will have a difficult time penetrating the surface. This means you’ll be able to enjoy consuming your favorite foods and beverages, including a cup of coffee, without worrying much about staining your veneers. However, your porcelain shells will not be completely stain-proof, as overexposure to dark-pigmented meals can cause them to discolor over time. Be sure to practice moderation to avoid any negative impacts on your brand-new smile.
