Redesign Your Smile With Custom Veneers
South Hills Dental Arts creates stunning, natural-looking veneers that transform multiple smile imperfections into a flawless, confident smile through custom artistry and advanced ceramic technology.
Smile imperfections like chips, gaps, stains, or uneven teeth can overshadow your personality and hold you back from expressing yourself confidently in both personal and professional settings. While individual treatments might address single concerns, a comprehensive smile transformation requires a solution that can tackle multiple issues simultaneously while creating natural-looking, long-lasting results. Porcelain veneers offer this transformative approach, essentially giving you a complete smile makeover that looks like the perfect teeth you were meant to have.
Understanding Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, typically 0.5 to 0.7 millimeters thick, custom-crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth. These artistic restorations bond permanently to your natural teeth, creating a new facade that can completely transform your smile’s appearance. Modern porcelain materials mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, providing results that are both beautiful and believable.
Unlike dental bonding that may stain or chip over time, porcelain veneers resist discoloration and maintain their lustrous appearance for years. The Cleveland Clinic reports that veneers typically last 10-15 years with proper care, making them an excellent long-term investment in your smile. The strength of modern ceramics means you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry while maintaining a stunning appearance.
Versatile Solutions for Multiple Concerns
Veneers excel at addressing numerous cosmetic issues simultaneously, making them ideal for comprehensive smile makeovers. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn discoloration that resists whitening, chips from old injuries, or gaps that have bothered you for years, veneers provide a unified solution. They can even create the appearance of straighter teeth without the time commitment of orthodontic treatment.
Common concerns veneers address include:
- Severe discoloration or tetracycline staining
- Chips, cracks, or worn edges
- Gaps and spacing issues
- Minor misalignment or crooked teeth
- Uneven tooth sizes or shapes
- Enamel defects or irregularities
The Veneer Design and Creation Process
Minimal Preparation, Maximum Impact
Traditional veneer preparation requires removing a thin layer of enamel, approximately the thickness of the veneer itself. This conservative approach preserves your tooth structure while creating space for the restoration. Our laser dentistry technology enables precise preparation with minimal discomfort, and our virtually painless anesthesia system ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.
For some patients, we can provide no-prep or minimal-prep veneers that require little to no enamel removal. These ultra-thin veneers work best for specific cases and offer the advantage of being potentially reversible. During your consultation, we’ll determine which approach best suits your needs and goals.
Same-Day Veneers with CEREC Technology
Our state-of-the-art CEREC technology enables us to create beautiful porcelain veneers in a single visit. After preparing your teeth, we use digital scanning to capture precise impressions without messy materials. Our CAD/CAM software allows us to design your veneers while you watch, ensuring every detail meets your expectations.
The in-office milling unit then crafts your veneers from high-quality ceramic blocks in about 15 minutes per tooth. We custom-stain and glaze each veneer to match your desired shade perfectly. Within hours, your new smile is complete—no temporary veneers, no second appointment, no waiting weeks for a laboratory.
Artistry Meets Technology
Creating natural-looking veneers requires both technological precision and artistic vision. Our photogrammetry and 3D Vectra facial scanning analyze how your new smile will complement your facial features. We consider elements like your smile line, lip fullness, and facial symmetry to design veneers that enhance your natural beauty.
The translucency and layering of modern porcelain materials allow us to recreate the subtle characteristics of natural teeth. We incorporate slight variations in shade and texture that make veneers indistinguishable from natural teeth. This attention to detail is what separates good cosmetic dentistry from truly exceptional results.
Shade Selection and Customization
Choosing the right shade for your veneers involves more than picking “white.” We consider your skin tone, eye color, and personal preferences to select a shade that looks naturally beautiful. Many patients choose to whiten their remaining teeth first, allowing us to create veneers that match their brightened smile.
Our shade selection process uses standardized guides and digital color matching to ensure consistency. We can create subtle gradations that mimic natural tooth shading, with slightly lighter edges and warmer tones near the gum line. This nuanced approach produces veneers that look like perfect natural teeth rather than artificial restorations.

Caring for Your Veneers
Maintaining your veneers requires no special equipment or complicated routines—just good oral hygiene practices. Regular brushing with non-abrasive toothpaste, daily flossing, and routine professional cleanings keep your veneers looking pristine. While porcelain resists staining, maintaining the health of your underlying teeth and gums is essential for long-term success.
We recommend wearing a custom nightguard if you grind your teeth, as excessive force can damage veneers just as it would natural teeth. Regular check-ups at our convenient McMurray location allow us to monitor your veneers and address any concerns promptly.
Combining Veneers With Other Treatments
Veneers often work beautifully in combination with other cosmetic procedures. Some patients benefit from orthodontic alignment before veneers to optimize tooth positioning. Others combine veneers on front teeth with crowns on back teeth for complete smile rehabilitation. Our comprehensive approach ensures all treatments work together harmoniously.
Gum contouring using our laser technology can enhance veneer results by creating ideal gum line symmetry. This combination is particularly effective for “gummy smiles” or uneven gum levels. Our Botox and dermal filler services can complement your new smile by addressing facial aesthetics around your mouth.
The Life-changing Impact of Veneers
Patients consistently report that veneers transform more than just their smiles—they change their lives. The confidence that comes from knowing your smile looks fantastic affects everything from professional presentations to social interactions. Many patients tell us they smile more freely and feel more approachable and confident.
The psychological benefits of cosmetic dentistry are well-documented. When you feel good about your smile, you’re more likely to maintain excellent oral health, seek regular dental care, and invest in your overall well-being. Veneers represent an investment not just in your appearance but in your quality of life.
Investment and Financing Options
While veneers represent a significant investment in your smile, their durability and transformative power provide excellent value. Our flexible financing options make veneers accessible through convenient payment plans. During your free virtual consultation, we provide transparent pricing and help you understand all available options.
Many patients find that when they consider the longevity of veneers compared to repeated cosmetic treatments, the investment makes financial sense. Our membership plans provide additional savings on maintenance and any future dental needs.
