Veneersin Lincoln, Nebraska
What are veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin shells of durable porcelain or composite material bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to enhance their appearance. At VFD Innovative Dental, we use leading-edge technology and a detail-driven approach to craft customized veneers that improve the look, feel, and function of your smile. Veneers can offer a natural, radiant transformation that blends seamlessly with your features, especially if you’re dealing with chips, discoloration, or uneven spacing. Our focus is always on providing high-value, long-term solutions, and we’ll work with you to determine if veneers are the best option to meet your goals.

The veneers process
Initial consultation and exam
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. At VFD, new patient visits include a full hour with the dentist, beginning outside of the operatory to ensure we understand your concerns and goals. We'll evaluate your smile, take digital images or scans, and review whether veneers are the best treatment option for your needs.
Customized planning and digital design
We’ll use our advanced digital workflow to design veneers that match your desired outcome precisely. This technology allows us to plan your case with incredible accuracy, and in some cases, provide preview images so you can see your potential new smile in advance.
Preparation and fabrication
If you’re moving forward with treatment, we’ll gently prepare the teeth and take precise digital scans using CEREC technology. Your veneers are then designed, crafted, and refined in-house the same day, allowing you to leave with your final restorations.
Final placement and smile reveal
Your custom veneers are placed and bonded during the same appointment they’re created. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper fit, bite alignment, and comfort—then reveal your new smile before you leave the office.
Frequently asked questions
Veneers are relatively low-maintenance, but it’s important to maintain great oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings. Avoid using your teeth as tools or biting down on hard items (like ice or pens), and wear a custom night guard if you grind or clench. We'll help guide you on how to best protect your new smile over time.
Veneers are versatile and can correct a wide range of esthetic concerns, including stained or discolored teeth, uneven spacing or gaps, chipped or worn edges, and mild crowding or misalignment. During your consultation, we’ll determine if veneers or another solution would be most effective for your case.
Veneers are not reversible since they require the removal of a small amount of enamel. However, they are designed to last for many years with proper care — and they can be replaced when the time comes. Most patients find that the long-term results and renewed confidence are well worth the investment in a lasting, beautiful smile.
