At 1Smile Dental, veneers are never treated as a shortcut or a cosmetic overlay. Every veneer and smile makeover is approached as a custom restorative and functional design, guided by bite analysis, facial balance, and long-term dental health.
There is no such thing as a one-smile-fits-all veneer. Every patient’s bite, tooth structure, facial anatomy, and lifestyle are different, and the treatment must reflect that reality.
This philosophy is why patients travel from across the Midwest and Chicago to receive veneer treatment at our office.
Many offices advertise “two-appointment veneers.” We do not. At 1Smile Dental, veneers are a multi-step design process, not a rushed procedure.
We intentionally use temporaries between appointments to fine-tune:
This approach leads to predictable results, healthier teeth, and smiles that age well over time.
The first appointment is dedicated to understanding the patient and determining whether veneers are appropriate.
During this visit, we:
Veneers are not appropriate for every patient. Candidacy depends heavily on bite dynamics, wear patterns, and functional forces. In some cases, veneers alone are not the correct solution.
We also evaluate for:
If orthodontic correction such as Invisalign is recommended prior to veneers, this is discussed upfront.
Not all teeth are treated the same way. Many smile makeovers involve a combination of veneers and crowns, depending on tooth position, strength, and bite forces.
Material selection is customized per tooth and may include:
Material choice is dictated by function, longevity, and esthetic goals, not a single default option.
Once records and planning are complete and no other dental work is required, veneer treatment typically involves two to four appointments, depending on the number of teeth being treated.
We intentionally do not complete veneers in two appointments because:
This process protects your teeth and improves long-term success.
Temporary veneers are not placeholders. They are an essential design tool.
During the temporary phase, we:
Only after the bite and design are proven do we move forward with final porcelain veneers.
Every veneer and smile makeover at 1Smile Dental is custom designed for the individual patient. We do not use pre-designed smiles, templates, or standardized shapes.
Final restorations are crafted based on:
This approach is why our veneers look natural, function comfortably, and remain stable over time.
Our veneer work is style driven, but never at the expense of function. A beautiful smile that compromises the bite will fail.
By integrating cosmetic dentistry with advanced bite evaluation, restorative planning, and material science, we create smiles that are both refined and resilient.
We are trusted by patients throughout the Midwest because of our meticulous process and refusal to cut corners. Patients routinely travel from Chicago and fly in from other cities to receive veneer treatment at our office.
We proudly serve patients from:
If you are considering veneers or a smile makeover, the first step is a comprehensive consultation. We will evaluate candidacy honestly, explain your options clearly, and design a plan that respects both esthetics and long-term dental health.
Veneer treatment at 1Smile Dental typically requires two to four appointments depending on the number of teeth and complexity. We intentionally use temporaries between visits to refine esthetics and bite.
Two appointment veneers do not allow adequate time to evaluate bite, speech, and comfort. Temporaries allow us to fine tune small details before final porcelain is fabricated.
Not every patient is a candidate. Veneers depend heavily on bite dynamics, tooth position, and functional forces. Some patients require Invisalign or a combination of veneers and crowns.
When properly planned and executed, veneers are conservative and protective. Problems arise when veneers are placed without evaluating the bite or structural integrity.
Material selection varies by tooth and function. We use e.max, zirconia, and feldspathic porcelain depending on esthetic needs and bite forces.
All veneers at 1Smile Dental are fully custom designed. We do not use pre-designed smiles or templates.
Longevity depends on bite, materials, and maintenance. Our process is designed to maximize durability and long-term success.
As your trusted Schereville dentist, we offer a range of services and utilize advanced dental technology to provide our patients with quality, precise and comfortable care. Building relationships with our patients built on trust is the key to our success.
