Transform Your Smile with Custom Porcelain Veneers
At Family Dental Care, we provide custom dental veneers designed to enhance the shape, color, and overall appearance of your smile. Patients in Merrillville, IN, and surrounding regions choose veneers to address cosmetic concerns while maintaining a natural look that complements their facial features.
Whether you are dealing with chipped enamel, stubborn discoloration, minor gaps, or uneven teeth, veneers offer a durable and highly aesthetic solution tailored specifically to you.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells made from porcelain or high-quality ceramic materials. They are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
Veneers can correct:
- Deep staining that does not respond to whitening
- Small spaces between teeth
- Minor misalignment
- Worn or uneven edges
- Irregular tooth shapes
- Small chips or surface cracks
Unlike removable cosmetic options, veneers are permanently bonded and designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
If your concerns involve more extensive alignment issues, we may recommend Clear Aligners or Ceramic Braces before placing veneers for optimal long-term results.
The Veneers Process
Your veneer treatment is carefully planned to achieve balanced, symmetrical results.
- Consultation and smile evaluation
- Digital imaging and shade selection
- Minimal enamel preparation
- Custom fabrication of veneers
- Final bonding and adjustments
The result is a polished, uniform smile that still looks natural in everyday settings.
When necessary, underlying issues such as decay or structural damage may be treated first through Dental Fillings or Dental Crowns to ensure long-term stability.
Are Veneers Right for You?
Veneers are ideal for patients seeking cosmetic enhancement without extensive restorative procedures. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have healthy gums and sufficient enamel
- Practice consistent oral hygiene
- Want a long-lasting cosmetic improvement
- Prefer a conservative alternative to full-coverage restorations
Patients missing teeth may instead benefit from Dental Implants or Dental Bridges. During your consultation, we will discuss all available options so you can make an informed decision.

The process is typically comfortable. Local anesthesia may be used during preparation to ensure minimal sensitivity.
