Veneers, whitening or crowns?
Choosing the right fix for your smile.
Veneers are one of several ways to improve your smile. Here’s how they compare.
- Color only
Teeth whitening
Brightens your natural enamel. Best when your teeth are healthy and well shaped, just discolored.
- Color and shape
Porcelain veneers
Cover the front of the tooth to change its color, shape and size, with only conservative preparation.
- Strength and shape
Dental crowns
Cover the whole tooth. Best when a tooth is also weak, broken or heavily filled.
Life with veneers
They look natural, and stay that way.
When your veneers are placed, you’ll be pleased to see they look like your natural teeth. A few simple habits help keep them beautiful.
Good to know: Veneers are stain-resistant, but limiting stain-causing foods keeps your smile at its brightest.
- Brush and floss as usual
- Keep up with regular cleanings
- Go easy on coffee and tea
- Limit red wine
- Avoid tobacco
- Wear a night guard if you grind

Kind words from our patients
I know most people hate the dentist but I love it! And it especially helps having such a great dental team that I know I can trust. I love leaving with my teeth feeling clean and well cared for. Dr. Bryan and his assistants (both Jess and Aliya) are so kind and caring.

My experience with Dr. Labin has been nothing but positive! I have been going to him for years and he is very gentle, making sure his patients are comfortable before he starts any procedure. The staff, from the office staff to the dental hygienists, are all professional and go above and beyond.
