Subtle enhancements. Stunning results. Crafted with precision in Mason City.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to correct stained, chipped, misshapen, or slightly crooked teeth? At Mint Springs Dentistry, porcelain veneers are one of our most popular cosmetic dentistry services—designed to deliver dramatic smile transformations with minimal invasiveness.
Whether you want a small cosmetic upgrade or a full smile makeover, veneers can help you achieve the bright, balanced, and confident smile you’ve always wanted.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel—creating a beautiful, lifelike appearance.
Veneers are bonded permanently to your teeth and can be used to correct:
-
Discolored or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening
-
Chipped or worn-down teeth
-
Gaps between teeth
-
Minor misalignment or uneven teeth
-
Irregularly shaped or sized teeth

What to Expect During the Veneers Process
Your journey to a more confident smile starts with a personalized consultation. During this visit, we’ll talk about your goals, evaluate your smile, and determine whether veneers are the right solution for you.
Here’s what the typical process looks like:
1. Smile Design Consultation
We’ll evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite while discussing your ideal smile. Together, we’ll decide on the shape, shade, and number of veneers.
2. Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front of the teeth to make room for your veneers. Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted.
3. Temporary Veneers
You’ll wear temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being made—allowing you to “test-drive” your new smile.
4. Final Placement
Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Cruz-Orcutt will bond them to your teeth with precision and care, making adjustments as needed to ensure a perfect fit and natural look.

Are Veneers Right for You?
Porcelain veneers are ideal for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve the appearance of their smile. While they’re a cosmetic solution, they can also contribute to better oral health by restoring balance and structure to worn or damaged teeth.
If you grind your teeth or have significant bite issues, Dr. Cruz-Orcutt may recommend alternative or supportive treatments to ensure your veneers last and look their best.
