If you are looking to transform your smile with a custom, natural-looking solution, dental veneers may be the perfect choice. Veneers are thin, durable shells made from high-quality porcelain or composite materials. They are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve the color, shape, size or alignment. Whether you are dealing with stains, chips, gaps or minor misalignment, our cosmetic veneers in Lakewood, Colorado, can deliver the radiant, balanced smile you envision.
Explore a Range of Veneer Options
Dr. Sarah Waters and Dr. Cameron Waters offer several types of cosmetic veneers in Lakewood, Colorado, to suit your unique needs, comfort level and cosmetic goals. Each option is designed to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results while respecting your tooth structure and overall oral health.
No Prep & No Drill Veneers
No prep and no drill veneers are ideal for patients who want a quick, comfortable and ultra-conservative solution. These veneers require no alteration to the natural teeth, meaning there is no need for anesthesia, drilling or enamel removal. They are simply bonded to the front of your existing teeth to enhance color, shape and symmetry. Because they preserve your natural tooth structure entirely, no prep veneers are completely reversible and highly biocompatible.
Near No Prep Veneers
Near no prep veneers are similar in concept but may involve minimal surface preparation for optimal bonding and fit. These veneers are especially useful when minor contouring is needed to align the veneer precisely or to address slight imperfections in the enamel. They still maintain the majority of your natural tooth structure and offer a comfortable, minimally invasive experience with exceptional cosmetic outcomes.
Minimal Prep Veneers
Minimal prep veneers require a very light reshaping of the tooth surface, generally limited to the outermost enamel. This slight reduction allows for a more seamless integration of the veneer and ensures a highly natural appearance. These veneers offer more customization in terms of shape and alignment correction and are a great option for patients seeking a dramatic yet conservative enhancement.
Traditional Veneers
Traditional veneers are best suited for patients seeking full smile makeovers or those with more significant cosmetic concerns. These veneers involve removing a small portion of enamel to accommodate the thickness of the porcelain and achieve optimal fit and aesthetics. Traditional veneers provide the greatest flexibility in terms of shade, translucency and contouring. They are crafted with precision to create a uniform, balanced and radiant smile.
Smile Makeovers With High-Quality Craftsmanship
Your veneers are fabricated in partnership with high-end dental laboratories known for their precision and artistry. These labs use advanced techniques, technologies and materials to ensure that your veneers are not only beautiful but also long-lasting and biocompatible. The attention to detail in both design and fabrication results in veneers that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
The smile makeover process begins when you visit Waters Dentistry for a personalized consultation. During your visit, our skilled dentists will evaluate your dental health, discuss your aesthetic goals and take impressions or digital scans of your teeth. We then collaborate with the lab to create veneers that complement your facial features, skin tone and smile line. Once your veneers are ready, we bond them carefully to your teeth, ensuring a secure and natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers
What are the benefits of choosing dental veneers?
Dental veneers offer a fast, long-lasting solution to improve your smile’s appearance. They are resistant to stains, custom-shaded to match your teeth and crafted for durability. Veneers also require less invasive treatment than crowns, making them a great option for patients who want noticeable results with minimal discomfort.
What cosmetic concerns can veneers fix?
Veneers can correct a wide range of imperfections, including discolored, worn down, chipped, uneven or gapped teeth. They are also an excellent option for covering misshapen or slightly crooked teeth without the need for orthodontic treatment. Each veneer is carefully designed to enhance the overall balance of your smile.
How long do dental veneers usually last?
With proper care, dental veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years. Their longevity depends on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle. Brushing, flossing, avoiding excessive force on the veneers and visiting our dentists regularly will help extend their lifespan and keep them looking beautiful for years to come.
Do veneers feel natural once placed?
Yes. Veneers are custom-made to match the size and contour of your natural teeth. Once bonded in place, they feel smooth and comfortable in your mouth. Most patients report that veneers look and feel just like real teeth, allowing them to speak, eat and smile with total confidence.
Is the veneer process painful?
The process of getting veneers is generally comfortable and straightforward. No prep and minimal prep veneers often require little or no drilling, and even traditional veneers involve only light enamel reduction.
