Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and chips, discoloration, gaps, or uneven teeth can quietly affect your confidence every day. Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front of your teeth to create a beautifully natural-looking smile that lasts 15 or more years with proper care. Whether you are in your 20s or ready for a meaningful change later in life, porcelain veneers are one of the most transformative options in cosmetic dentistry available today.
At LALUME Dental Studio, every veneer treatment begins with a conversation, not a sales pitch
Dr. Saad evaluates each patient individually to determine the most conservative veneer option for their unique smile goals, tooth structure, and candidacy.
Our approach always prioritizes preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, selecting the least invasive technique that still delivers stunning results.
Using advanced digital scans and precision fabrication, we create veneers that look and feel completely natural and last 15 years or more.
Veneers are custom-made restorations designed to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, instantly transforming the size, shape, color, and symmetry of your smile. Research published by the National Institutes of Health confirms that porcelain laminate veneers are among the most effective treatments in modern cosmetic dentistry.

Veneers are a permanent treatment, and no type of veneer is reversible. That is exactly why the consultation process at LALUME Dental Studio is so important, as Dr. Shahira Saad takes the time to evaluate your smile, your bite, and your goals before recommending anything.
Traditional porcelain veneers involve a minimal polishing of the enamel surface to ensure a seamless, flush fit. They are a tried-and-true solution for patients who need more dramatic corrections and are crafted to blend beautifully with surrounding teeth.
No-prep veneers require no alteration to the tooth's natural structure. Because the fabrication process is more technique-sensitive and requires more refined material to achieve a natural result, no-prep veneers are actually priced higher than traditional veneers. Not every patient is a candidate for this option, which is why Dr. Saad assesses each case thoroughly before recommending it.
Composite veneers are crafted from BPA-free resin and applied directly to the tooth surface in a single appointment. While they may not offer the same longevity as porcelain, they can be a wonderful starting point for certain smile goals.
Many veneer cases involve a combination of all three types, because every smile is unique. Dr. Saad's goal is always to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while delivering the aesthetic results you are after. By choosing smile design at LALUME, you can feel confident that the most conservative approach possible will always be used.
Porcelain and no-prep porcelain veneers at LALUME Dental Studio range from $2,250 to $2,500 per tooth, while composite veneers are $1,000 per tooth. Keep in mind that dentists typically charge significantly more when a single tooth is treated in isolation, because achieving a precise color match for just one tooth is considerably more difficult and often requires multiple attempts.
LALUME is not a fee-for-service office. We accept most PPO insurance plans, though veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure and are not covered by insurance. To help make your smile goals more accessible, we offer financing through Cherry Financing and CareCredit, with 0% interest options available for up to 12 months and extended plans available up to 24 months.

Veneers, both porcelain and no-prep, may last 15 or more years with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular cleanings, and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth all contribute to the longevity of your restorations.
No. No type of veneer, including no-prep veneers, is reversible. Once bonded to your teeth, they are a permanent change, which is why Dr. Saad conducts a thorough evaluation before recommending any type of veneer.
Veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure and are not covered by insurance. LALUME accepts most PPO plans for other services, and we offer financing through Cherry Financing and CareCredit to help make your investment more manageable.
The type of veneer used is always determined by Dr. Saad based on your individual candidacy, tooth structure, and smile goals. Not every patient is a candidate for no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, and some cases may involve a combination of veneer types. You can always trust that the most conservative option will be recommended.
It begins with a smile design consultation where Dr. Saad evaluates your teeth, bite, and goals. Digital scans are taken to plan your case with precision, and your custom veneers are then fabricated and bonded at a final appointment.
Brush twice daily with a remineralizing toothpaste, floss daily, and come in for regular professional cleanings. Avoid biting packaging or hard objects with your teeth, and ask Dr. Saad whether a nightguard may help protect your investment.
