Dental Veneers in Acworth, GA, Glee Dental
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They’re custom-made in a dental lab to match the shape and shade you want. To make room for each shell, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the tooth.
Because enamel doesn’t grow back, veneers are a permanent decision. Once your teeth have been prepared, they’ll always need some kind of covering. We’ll make sure you understand that before you decide.
If Any of This Sounds Familiar, Veneers May Be Right for You:
- You have chipped, worn, or cracked front teeth
- Your teeth have stains that whitening hasn’t lifted
- You have small gaps you’d like to close
- Your teeth are uneven, misshapen, or different sizes
- You want to change several teeth at once, not just one
Am I a Good Candidate for Veneers?
Good candidates have healthy teeth and gums and enough enamel to support a veneer. Any decay or gum disease has to be treated first, so we may start with a dental exam and cleaning, fillings, or gum disease treatment.
Veneers change how teeth look, not where they sit. If your teeth are very crooked or your bite is off, clear aligners may be a better first step. If a tooth is badly damaged, a dental crown may protect it better.

How Does the Dental Veneers Process Work?
Getting veneers usually takes about three visits over a few weeks.
- Complimentary consultation. Dr. Ajiboye examines your teeth, listens to what you want to change, and tells you honestly whether veneers fit. New here? See what to expect at your first visit.
- Preparing your teeth. We shape the teeth, take impressions, and choose your shade. Temporary veneers can protect your teeth and give you a preview while the lab works.
- Placing your veneers. We check the fit and color, bond each veneer in place, and adjust your bite.
Thinking about whitening too? Do it before your veneers are made. Teeth whitening changes natural enamel but not porcelain, so we match your veneers to your brightened shade.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years with good care. They resist stains well, but they aren’t indestructible. Brush twice a day, floss daily, keep up with your regular cleanings, and don’t bite ice, pens, or fingernails.
Veneers or Bonding: Which Is Better?
Veneers are usually better for bigger, longer-lasting changes. Dental bonding is usually better for a small repair on one or two teeth.
| Porcelain veneers | Dental bonding | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical lifespan | 10 to 20 years | 3 to 10 years |
| Visits | About three | Usually one |
| Enamel removed | A thin layer | Usually none |
| Reversible | No | Yes |
| Stain resistance | Better | Good, but can stain over time |
| Best for | Changing several teeth | Small chips and gaps |

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers
Are veneers permanent?
Yes, in the sense that the process can’t be undone. Enamel is removed to place them, so that tooth will always need a covering. The veneers themselves usually need replacing after 10 to 20 years.
Do veneers hurt?
Most patients have little discomfort, and we can numb the area while we prepare your teeth. Some sensitivity for a few days afterward is common.
Do veneers ruin your teeth?
No, not when teeth are healthy and the veneers are well placed and cared for. A thin layer of enamel is removed, and that part is permanent. The tooth underneath can still get decay along the edges, so brushing, flossing, and checkups still matter.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can make slightly uneven teeth look straighter, but they don’t actually move teeth. For crowding or a bite problem, clear aligners are usually the better option.
Can veneers be whitened?
No. Whitening products don’t change the color of porcelain. If you want a brighter shade, whiten your natural teeth before your veneers are made.
How many veneers will I need?
It depends on your smile. Some patients need one or two, while others treat the teeth that show most when they smile. Dr. Ajiboye will recommend a number at your consultation.
Does insurance cover veneers?
Insurance usually treats veneers placed for appearance as cosmetic, so coverage is often limited. Our team can check your plan. See our Insurance & Financing page for your options.

Yes. We welcome new patients from Woodstock, Kennesaw, Dallas, Cartersville, and across the Acworth area.
