Dental Veneers in Grand Junction, CO
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing their appearance. Made from porcelain or composite resin, veneers are carefully bonded to teeth after minimal preparation, resulting in a natural-looking, long-lasting outcome. They work by masking imperfections while preserving most of your natural tooth structure.
Veneers can help correct discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, uneven shapes, and mild misalignment, giving patients a brighter, more balanced smile with a boost in confidence.

What is the dental veneer process?
Getting dental veneers is a straightforward, personalized process designed to enhance your smile. It begins with a consultation, during which your dentist evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and confirms that veneers are right for you. Next, a small amount of enamel is gently reshaped, and impressions are taken to create custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed while yours are crafted. At the final visit, the veneers are carefully bonded, adjusted for comfort, and polished for a natural-looking, confident smile. The result is long-lasting aesthetics that support everyday function and confidence naturally.

What’s the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers and crowns both improve smiles, but they serve different purposes. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to enhance color, shape, or minor alignment issues. They require minimal tooth alteration and are ideal for cosmetic improvements. Crowns, on the other hand, cover the entire tooth. They are used when a tooth is weakened, cracked, or heavily filled, restoring strength and function while also improving appearance. We will recommend the best option based on your goals, oral health, budget, and long-term care needs for lasting results.

How do porcelain veneers and composite veneers differ?
Porcelain and composite veneers both enhance smiles, but they differ in materials, process, and longevity. Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a lab, offering exceptional strength, stain resistance, and a highly natural appearance that can last 10–15 years with proper care. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto teeth in a single visit, making them more affordable and easier to repair. While composite veneers may not last as long, they offer a conservative and effective option for minor cosmetic improvements. Our expert team can help determine which type of veneer best matches your goals and budget.

How much do dental veneers cost?
Dental veneers are not typically covered by insurance, as they are considered a purely cosmetic procedure. At Bookcliff Family Dental, the cost of dental veneers starts at $1,500, but all-in costs can vary depending on each patient’s individual needs and goals.
