Porcelain Veneers
in Lakewood, CO
Porcelain veneers can completely transform your smile — and your confidence. Whether you’re looking to correct uneven teeth, discoloration, or minor misalignments, Dr. Mark Whatcott offers customized veneer solutions designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and last for years.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells that bond to the front of your teeth. Made from high-quality porcelain, they’re carefully designed to match your natural enamel in color and translucency. Veneers are an ideal choice for improving the appearance of chipped, discolored, worn, or slightly misaligned teeth — without the need for braces or crowns.

The Veneers
Treatment Process
1
Consultation & Evaluation
We’ll begin with a thorough exam and conversation about your goals. Dr. Whatcott will assess your oral health and discuss whether veneers are the right option for your needs.
2
Digital Impressions & Tooth Prep
To ensure a perfect fit, we’ll take high-resolution scans of your teeth. A small amount of enamel is gently removed to prepare the tooth surface, and temporary veneers may be placed while your final set is crafted.
3
Placement & Bonding
Once your custom veneers are ready, we’ll bond them securely in place and make any final adjustments. You’ll leave the appointment with a brighter, more balanced smile that feels just like your natural teeth.
FAQs

Am I a good candidate for veneers?
If you have healthy teeth and gums and want to improve the look of your smile, veneers may be a great choice. We’ll review your goals and make sure veneers are the best option — or recommend alternatives if needed.
Will my veneers look natural?
Yes. Your veneers are designed to match the shape, shade, and sheen of your natural teeth. Most patients say their veneers feel and look just like their own teeth — only better.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or more. Regular dental checkups and good home hygiene are the keys to long-lasting results.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are a long-term commitment, since a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation. While the procedure is not reversible, many patients find the results well worth the investment.
What kind of care do veneers require?
Treat veneers like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss, and avoid habits like chewing ice or biting your nails. We’ll also schedule regular checkups to keep your veneers (and the rest of your smile) in top shape.
