Dental Veneers in Mission, KS
Dental veneers prove to be an excellent solution if you’re dealing with crowding issues, chipped or worn-down teeth, or stains. These thin shells are placed on the front surfaces of your teeth, transforming their appearance by concealing imperfections and creating a beautifully straight and uniform look.
The color of veneers can be tailored to match your natural tooth color, ensuring a seamless blend. The application process is painless, and once in place, dental veneers show strength and durability, promising many years of service before needing replacement or maintenance.
At keith + associates dentistry, we take pride in crafting custom-designed dental veneers tailored to your requirements. This means we will make two appointments with you, the first to take impressions of your teeth and the second to apply and adjust the veneers to your teeth.

The process involves consultation, minimal enamel removal, impressions, and bonding the custom-made veneers to the teeth. Benefits include enhanced appearance, durability, and minimal invasiveness.

How long do dental veneers last?
Dental veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years. However, with proper care and maintenance, they can last even longer. The longevity of veneers depends on various factors, including the material used, your oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle choices. Here are some tips to help extend the lifespan of your dental veneers:
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Try to avoid biting into hard foods or objects that can crack or chip your veneers.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.
- Avoid Staining Substances: Limit the intake of staining agents like coffee, tea, and red wine to keep your veneers looking their best.
- Wear a Mouthguard: If you grind your teeth at night, consider wearing a mouthguard to protect your veneers.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your veneers remain in excellent condition for many years.
