Dental veneers are a great choice for enhancing your smile, offering a simple yet highly effective cosmetic treatment.
Dental Veneers in Wichita, KS
Dental veneers are a great option for improving teeth that are chipped, crowded, worn, or stained. These thin shells are placed on the front of your teeth to hide flaws and enhance your smile. They can be matched to your natural shade, are durable, and usually last for years before needing repair or replacement.
At Humlicek Family Dental, we custom design veneers to fit your unique needs and goals. The process typically involves two visits—the first to take scans of your teeth and the second to place and adjust the veneers for a precise, comfortable fit. Call our office or schedule your consultation online today.

What are veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth. In some cases, a small amount of enamel is removed to ensure a proper fit. Veneers conceal imperfections, improve alignment, and can add thickness to close gaps. The process is straightforward: teeth are prepared, and the veneers are securely attached with a strong dental adhesive.

What is the difference between porcelain veneers and composite veneers?
The two main types of dental veneers are porcelain and composite, both effective for enhancing your smile. Composite veneers are created in-office with tooth-colored resin, making them a quicker and more affordable option for covering minor cosmetic issues.
Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a lab and designed to fit precisely over your teeth. They are more durable, provide a natural appearance, and are better suited for correcting severe discoloration or misalignment, though they take longer to complete than composite veneers.

How much do dental veneers cost?
Because veneers are considered a cosmetic treatment, they are usually not covered by insurance. Costs can vary based on each patient’s needs, but traditional veneers typically range from $925 to $2,500 per tooth, while no-prep options are slightly less, averaging $800 to $2,000 per tooth.

Veneers vs. crowns—what’s the difference?
Veneers and crowns both improve the look of chipped, stained, or crooked teeth, but they differ in coverage. Veneers are thin shells that cover only the front of the tooth, while crowns are thicker and cover the entire surface, adding extra strength to damaged teeth. Veneers are less invasive, while crowns provide more support.
Both options can give you a bright, natural-looking smile. If you’re unsure which is best for you, contact our office to schedule a consultation.
