Porcelain Veneers in Owasso, OK
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored material that cover the front surface of your teeth to dramatically improve their appearance. At Dental Solutions, Dr. Mark Curtis uses veneers to change the color, shape, size, or length of teeth, creating a bright, natural-looking smile. Veneers are an excellent choice for discoloration that whitening can’t fix, chipped or worn teeth, or teeth you’re simply unhappy with.
Book OnlineWho Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?
Veneers may be right for you if you have:
- Deep stains or discoloration that don’t respond to teeth whitening
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Teeth that are uneven, misshapen, or unusually small
- Mildly crooked teeth when orthodontic treatment isn’t preferred
Good candidates have healthy teeth and gums. If you have active decay or gum disease, we’ll treat those concerns first.
The Veneer Process
Your veneer journey begins with a consultation where Dr. Curtis listens to your goals and examines your smile. To prepare your teeth, a very thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the front surface so the veneers sit naturally. We then capture precise digital impressions using our Sirona scanner, and your custom veneers are crafted to match your desired shade and shape. Once ready, the veneers are bonded securely to your teeth and polished for a flawless finish.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain is durable, stain-resistant, and reflects light much like natural enamel, giving veneers a lifelike appearance. With proper care, veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Other Cosmetic Options
For smaller repairs, dental bonding may be a more conservative choice, and for alignment issues, Invisalign can straighten teeth before cosmetic work. Explore all of our cosmetic dentistry services or call (918) 272-5387 to schedule your veneer consultation.

How long do veneers last?
