Smile with confidence in every photo

If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your smile but aren’t sure where to begin, dental veneers can offer a simple and comfortable way to make a lasting change. Ames dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells that fit over the front of your teeth to enhance shape, color, or alignment. We design every veneer with a natural, balanced look so your smile still feels like you, just more confident.
At our office, you can even preview your new smile digitally before treatment begins, and we provide temporary veneers so you can “test-drive” the look while your final restorations are crafted by our trusted dental lab.

What to expect at your visit

  • A consultation where we talk through your goals and take digital records
  • A digital smile preview so you can see potential results before moving forward
  • Gentle preparation of the teeth
  • Custom temporary veneers to wear while the lab creates your final set
  • Placement and polishing of your permanent veneers
  • Simple guidance on caring for your new smile

The transforming effects of veneers

Veneers can renew a smile in a way that still looks natural and authentic. They can help with:
  • Stains that don’t respond to whitening
  • Chips and uneven edges
  • Gaps or minor alignment concerns
  • Teeth that appear worn or misshapen

Are veneers right for me?

Veneers can be a great option if you’re hoping for a brighter, more balanced smile without a lot of dental work. You may be a good candidate if you:
  • Want a long-lasting cosmetic solution
  • Have healthy gums and teeth
  • Prefer a natural look rather than a “perfect” or uniform style
  • Want a predictable result with a digital smile preview and temporary veneers before the final step
