Many patients have chips and minor cracks that can be easily masked with a veneer. Veneers cover the entire front surface of the tooth for a flawless, natural-looking finish.
In the case of deep-rooted discoloration, veneers can brighten the shade of your teeth and are resistant to further discoloration because they are crafted from stain-resistant porcelain.
Sometimes a single tooth is too small or too large in proportion to the rest of your smile. Veneers can resize individual teeth, resulting in a more balanced look.
While major misalignment is typically treated with orthodontics, strategically placed veneers can hide rotated or gapped teeth and make your smile look straighter.

We believe that proper planning is key to the success of your dental treatment. Even if you meet all of the candidacy requirements and simply want a nicer smile, there may be various treatments that are better suited to your needs.
During your consultation at our Albuquerque office, we will ask several questions to determine if this treatment is right for you:
- What do you dislike about your smile?
- What do you want to change about your smile?
- Why are you seeking dental treatment?
Based on your responses, we will determine if veneers can truly meet your goals. Once we determine that veneers are the right choice, your new smile will be just one appointment away.

After creating the digital impression, it will be transmitted to a computer screen where Dr. Kelly can design your veneers based on the goals you have shared with him during your consultation. He can then create a wax model for you to examine to ensure your new smile meets your expectations.
When both of you are satisfied with the custom veneers, they can be milled immediately using our in-house technology. In no time at all, you'll be walking out the door with a new smile.

Why should I choose veneers over alternative cosmetic treatments?
Your Options in Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Kelly provides a wide variety of cosmetic treatments at our Albuquerque, NM, dental practice. While dental veneers can accomplish beautiful aesthetic enhancements that other procedures may not be able to achieve, it is important to know the options available to you. The dentist will assess your smile and help you determine which procedure or combination of procedures will best produce the effects you desire.
Bonding consists of a tooth-colored resin applied to the surface of the teeth to mask imperfections such as chips and cracks. Some patients find bonding to look less natural than porcelain, but it is a good option to repair minor flaws.
Dental crowns cover the tooth from the chewing surface to the gumline, providing cosmetic enhancement and protection. Dental crowns are typically placed after major damage or a root canal to provide support to a weakened tooth structure.
Whitening can remove surface enamel stains from the teeth and brighten the overall appearance of your smile. We can provide rapid in-office and at-home whitening treatments that are safer and more effective than store-bought alternatives.

Dental veneers can only provide symmetry to minor cases of tooth misalignment. Orthodontics may be a more suitable option for patients who need more comprehensive work straightening their alignment and bite.

If you are scared of the dentist, this is the place for you. Dr Kelly and his staff are wonderful. Each dentist chair faces a window where there are bird feeders, and it is relaxing to watch all the activity. Dr Kelly works very hard to put patients at ease, and is very easy to talk to.
When you walk in and meet the lovely receptionist, Laurie, and enjoy a cup of coffee, you will know you are in the right place:)
How long will my veneers last?
Maintaining Your Veneers
Veneers are an immediate and incredibly long-lasting form of tooth enhancement. The average lifespan for a porcelain veneer is 10 to 15 years, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance and dental care. In general, veneers require little follow-up care and should be treated much like your natural teeth. Our tips to ensure long-lasting dental veneers include...
Practice Proper Oral Hygiene
Never underestimate the importance of practicing good oral hygiene and diligent brushing and flossing habits. Not only will you protect your natural teeth and extend the lifespan of your cosmetic treatments, but you will save yourself thousands of dollars in restorative work that can be needed to treat decay and infections.
Protect Your Tooth Enamel
Porcelain is less porous than tooth enamel and will not absorb the color from dark-colored beverages and tobacco products. While your porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, your natural teeth are not. To ensure your smile remains a bright consistent shade, refrain from consuming food and drinks that have the potential to stain your natural teeth.
Avoid Excessive Force
While porcelain is inherently strong and durable, we always recommend treating your dental veneer with care. It is best to avoid opening things with your teeth or biting your nails, as they can lead to erosion of both your veneers and natural teeth.
