Veneers
Porcelain Veneers in Reno, NV
Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, size, color or spacing. With good care they often last 10 to 15 years or longer. At Blue Water Dental Care, Dr. Kristin Kelly designs veneers around your face, lips and bite, and checks that your teeth and gums are healthy enough to support them first.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin shells of durable porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They’re designed to enhance the color, shape, symmetry, and overall appearance of your smile.
Veneers are commonly used to correct:
- Chips and cracks
- Deep stains or discoloration
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild misalignment or uneven spacing
- Worn or short teeth
- Irregular shapes
Each veneer is handcrafted to match your desired look—whether you want a subtle upgrade or a dramatic smile makeover.
The Veneer Process: What to Expect
At Blue Water Dental Care, your veneer journey is fully customized. We begin with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your goals, facial features, and what you hope to achieve.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Smile Assessment: Dr. Kristin Kelly will evaluate your teeth and discuss your vision.
- Digital Impressions: We use advanced imaging to design your ideal smile.
- Tooth Prep: A small amount of enamel may be removed to ensure a perfect fit.
- Temporary Veneers: Worn while your final veneers are crafted by a trusted lab.
- Final Placement: Your custom porcelain veneers are bonded and polished for a natural, confident look.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers offer several benefits:
- Highly durable and stain-resistant
- Natural-looking translucency and color
- Minimal tooth alteration required
- Lasts 10–15+ years with proper care
- Immediate boost in confidence and smile aesthetics
Whether you're prepping for a career move, wedding, or simply want to feel better about your smile, veneers can deliver lasting results.
Are Veneers Right for You?
You may be a great candidate for veneers if you:
- Are unhappy with the appearance of your front teeth
- Want a long-lasting alternative to whitening or bonding
- Have healthy teeth and gums
- Don’t grind or clench excessively
- Want to enhance your smile in a conservative way
If veneers aren’t the best solution, we’ll recommend alternative options such as Invisalign or a smile makeover.

Veneers and Your Oral Health

- Support better oral hygiene habits

How long do veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or longer. Grinding and chewing hard objects shorten that, and a night guard can help. Read more in How Long Do Veneers Last on Front Teeth?
Are veneers reversible?
Usually not. Placing veneers often means removing a thin layer of enamel, so we plan carefully and explain the trade-offs before you decide.
How much do veneers cost in Reno?
The cost depends on how many teeth you treat and the materials used. We give you a written quote after your consultation and review financing with you.
Do veneers hurt?
We numb the area, so the visits are comfortable. Some temporary sensitivity afterward is normal and settles quickly.
Can I whiten my veneers?
No. Veneers do not change color the way natural teeth do, so we whiten your teeth first and match the veneers to that shade.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
A veneer covers the front of a tooth. A crown covers the whole tooth and is used when the tooth is badly worn, broken or weak. We will recommend the lighter option that works.
How do I clean veneers?
Brush and floss as usual with a non-abrasive toothpaste. See How Do You Clean Your Teeth Under Veneers? for details.
