The veneer is a good option if you have a patient that may have cracked or uneven teeth, if you have a patient with some type of discoloration that they don’t like across the smile line. What it does is you’re able to mask or cover those imperfections without manipulating the entire tooth. You’re basically working with the front part of the tooth. When you do a veneer, and with that veneer, you can make everything the same shape, the same color, the same contour, same brightness. That way, when that patient smiles, they’re giving you a nice, even look that they’re comfortable with.
Conceal Imperfections With Dental Veneers in New Orleans
When it comes to enhancing your smile, small changes can make a big impact. That’s certainly the case with dental veneers in New Orleans, thin pieces of porcelain that Dr. John Tripp affixes to the front surfaces of your teeth to hide flaws.
Porcelain veneers are:
- Easy on Your Teeth – Unlike dental crowns, veneers require little modification of your teeth. Dr. Tripp will remove only a small amount of enamel from your teeth to prepare them for the veneers.
- Natural Looking – We use high-quality porcelain because it looks like tooth enamel. We also closely match the shade to your surrounding teeth.
- A Quick Fix for Flaws – Depending on the type of dental veneer you choose, you can get them in as few as two visits to our office. Dr. Tripp will take careful measurements and digital impressions, then send the specifications to a lab. When your veneers arrive, he’ll securely attach them to your teeth and ensure the fit is perfect.
- Durable – With proper care, dental veneers should last at least a decade.

Common Questions About Dental Veneers
Our dedicated team will make sure that your veneers treatment is completely comfortable. We may need to remove a small amount of tooth enamel to place your veneers, but this process will not cause you any pain. We can use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort, plus sedation is available if you’re nervous about your veneers treatment.
Dental veneers from an experienced cosmetic dentist are made to blend in perfectly with your natural smile. Because they are custom-made just for you, they fit perfectly, too. They’re made of thin porcelain that replicates the translucence of real tooth enamel. Yet they’re tough enough to protect the teeth behind them, so any concealed damage won’t worsen as the years go by.
Teeth whitening will not work on dental veneers. For this reason, we encourage you to first whiten your teeth to the desired level of whiteness. Then we can match your teeth veneers to your other teeth. You can keep your teeth bright and attractive with periodic whitening treatments in our office or at home.
