porcelain dental veneers

in South Texas

highlight your natural beauty

If you have cosmetic concerns about your teeth, porcelain veneers can be a powerful way to transform your smile, but only when the foundation is right.

At Orchard Dental Associates, we focus on proper function first. When your bite is balanced and healthy, we can often place veneers with little to no prep on your natural teeth. That means less invasive treatment and a result that looks great, feels natural, and lasts.

Dr. Orchard brings a lifelong background in art to every smile he designs. He pays close attention to the shape, shade, and detail of each veneer to ensure it fits your facial structure, your personality, and your bite. It’s not just cosmetic. It’s personally crafted dental art built to function long term and designed to fit you perfectly.

STEP #1

A Quick Fix vs Life Time Fix

We get it, if you're unhappy with your smile, it’s tempting to want a quick fix. Veneers can seem like an easy way to get straight, white teeth fast. But at Orchard Dental Associates, we encourage you to take the time to do it right, because a fast fix often doesn’t last.

Dr. Orchard’s approach starts with function first. That means making sure your teeth come together properly from all angles, creating a healthy, stable bite. When your bite is aligned, your veneers not only look better, they last longer. It also allows Dr. Orchard to be incredibly conservative, often removing little or no natural tooth structure at all. That’s the ideal: a natural, minimally invasive solution that holds up over time.

In cases where orthodontics isn’t an option or a patient prefers not to go that route, we will still deliver beautiful results.

STEP #3

Final Bonding

When you come in for your second visit, each veneer is tried on individually to ensure a perfect fit. Often with no or minimal prep. Once everything looks and feels just right, your veneers are permanently placed.

Because nothing is sent to an outside lab, turnaround is faster and quality is fully in our control. This also allows us to offer a 10 year warranty with our veneers, as long as you take proper care of them by doing regular hygiene visits every 6 months. This isn’t a rushed, outsourced process, it’s personalized dental artistry, crafted start to finish under one roof.

STEP #2

Design With YOU in Mind

Once we’ve ensured your bite is functioning properly, we move into the design phase, where precision and artistry come together. Instead of using messy impression trays, we take a digital scan of your mouth using our PrimeScan. It’s fast, comfortable, and incredibly accurate. From there, Dr. Orchard personally designs your new smile.

Every veneer is crafted right here in our office. Dr. Orchard handles each step himself, from digital design to custom shading and glazing. Using in house ovens, he fires the ceramic with the exact colors and glazes needed to match your smile. Then, using 3D printed models made from your PrimeScan, he fine tunes the entire case before you ever return to the chair.

Veneers

Faq

What are porcelain veneers and how do they work?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They’re used to fix discoloration, chips, gaps, or uneven shapes, without braces or whitening.

Do veneers ruin your natural teeth?

Not when done properly, veneers should not harm your teeth. At Orchard Dental Associates, we focus on function first, so we can often place veneers with minimal prep of your natural tooth structure.

How long do dental veneers last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or more. We design every case for durability, comfort, and long term results.

What’s the difference between veneers and crowns?

Veneers only cover the front of the tooth and are used for cosmetic improvements, while crowns cover the whole tooth and are typically used to restore strength or structure.

Are veneers painful to get?

Not at our office. With modern technology and a conservative prep approach, most patients experience little to no discomfort. Many don’t need anesthetic at all.

How do I know if I need veneers or just whitening?

Great question. Many patients come in asking for veneers, but after an honest consultation, they discover that simple whitening or clear aligners are all they need. We’ll help you choose the most effective, least invasive path to the smile you want.
