Transform Your Smile with Confidence
Veneers are an excellent option for enhancing your smile. These thin, custom-made laminates, made from tooth-colored ceramic or composite material, cover the front surface of your teeth to address various dental issues such as discoloration, chips, cracks, and misalignment.
Veneers are ideal for those seeking to improve their smile's appearance. They are highly durable and can last many years with proper care. Veneers can be customized to match your preferred shade and are effective for correcting gaps or misalignments, providing a more even and symmetrical smile.
Types of Veneers
At Stadium Family Dentistry of Ann Arbor, we offer a variety of veneer options to meet your individual needs. Our experienced team can guide you in choosing the best veneer type for your smile. We provide porcelain ceramic veneers, composite veneers, and low-prep veneers.
Ceramic veneers are the most popular choice due to their durability and longevity, lasting 8-10 years or more with proper care. They are highly resistant to staining and discoloration, ideal for maintaining a bright, white smile. The process for ceramic veneers typically involves two visits: the first for preparation and digital scanning, with temporary veneers provided while your custom ceramic veneers are created in the dental lab. During your second visit, we will adhere the ceramic veneers to your teeth, giving you the smile you’ve always wanted.
Composite resin veneers are a suitable option for quick and minor cosmetic fixes. They can be placed in a single visit and offer a more budget-friendly alternative to ceramic veneers, with a lifespan of up to 5-8 years with proper care.
For those who may be candidates, low-prep ceramic veneers require minimal alteration or removal of tooth structure. Consult with your Stadium Family Dentistry dentist to see if this option is right for you.
At Stadium Family Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care. Our skilled and compassionate team is here to help you determine the best veneer option to achieve your healthiest and happiest smile.

Porcelain Veneer Process
At Stadium Family Dentistry of Ann Arbor, we’ve helped countless patients achieve their dream smiles with our expertise in placing veneers. By blending science, experience, skill, and artistry, we ensure each case reaches perfection. We begin with the final result in mind, crafting stunning, radiant smiles tailored just for you!
Check out our step-by-step process below.
Step 1: The Consultation
The journey to your new smile begins with a consultation at Stadium Family Dentistry of Ann Arbor. During this visit, we’ll take digital images of your teeth and smile, discuss your goals, and explore various options. We’ll show you examples of stunning smiles to help you identify what you like and provide guidance on what will best suit your facial features. You’ll also see examples of our previous cosmetic work.
Our team will listen to your desires and develop a customized treatment plan, whether you need just a couple of veneers or a full-mouth restoration. By the end of this appointment, our dentists will craft a personalized plan designed to achieve and even exceed your smile expectations!
Step 2: Your Blueprint
Once your cosmetic plan is finalized, we’ll take impressions of your mouth and teeth. These impressions, along with detailed instructions, are sent to a Master Ceramist. We collaborate with top ceramists across the country, choosing the best fit for your specific needs. Throughout this process, we maintain clear communication to ensure your desired results.
The ceramist will use your impressions to create a wax-up model that simulates the appearance of your veneers. This "wax-up" blueprint ensures that your restorations will function correctly and comfortably. At Stadium Family Dentistry, we prioritize both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your smile.
Step 3: The Preparation Appointment & Your Temporaries
Following the wax-up, we proceed with the preparation appointment. Our cosmetic dentists will conservatively contour your teeth based on the wax-up model. We’ll numb your teeth and create models for the final veneers.
You’ll wear temporary veneers for about three weeks, allowing time for any necessary adjustments. This phase gives you a chance to test the fit and make modifications, ensuring your permanent veneers will be perfect.
Step 4: The Final Appointment
The final step is the bonding and placement of your porcelain veneers. After wearing the temporaries and making any needed adjustments, we’ll remove the temporaries and place your finished porcelain veneers. We’ll ensure they are flawless and that you’re thrilled with the results.
The veneers are then permanently bonded, and we’ll adjust your bite to ensure natural movement. If necessary, we’ll take impressions for a protective night guard. With this final step, the process is complete, and you’ll enjoy your beautiful new smile!
