Dental Veneers in Rapid City, SD

Enhance Your Smile with Custom Veneers

If you’re unhappy with the shape, color, or spacing of your teeth, dental veneers can offer a long-lasting solution that transforms your smile in just a few visits. At Rapid City Smiles Implant & Family Dentistry, we offer a full range of custom veneers—including porcelain, Lumineers, composite resin, CEREC veneers, and zirconia—to help you achieve the look you want with natural, durable results.

Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are bonded to the front of teeth to correct imperfections. They are ideal for covering chips, closing gaps, correcting discoloration, and even improving minor misalignment—all without braces.

Types of Veneers We Offer

We provide several veneer options to suit different cosmetic goals, timelines, and budgets:

Porcelain Veneers: Durable and highly aesthetic, porcelain veneers resist staining and provide a lifelike translucency that mimics natural enamel. These are ideal for patients seeking the longest-lasting, most natural-looking results.
Lumineers: A no-prep alternative to traditional porcelain veneers. Lumineers are ultra-thin and often require little to no enamel removal. Great for those who want a reversible option with minimal alteration to the natural tooth.
Composite Resin Veneers: Made from the same material as tooth-colored fillings, composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth surface. This option is more affordable and can often be completed in one visit.
CEREC Veneers: Designed and created in-house using our CEREC same-day technology, these veneers are custom-milled from ceramic and bonded during the same appointment—ideal for patients seeking quick results.
Zirconia Veneers: Known for their strength and durability, zirconia veneers are an excellent option for patients with heavy bites or who want a long-term, stain-resistant solution that also looks beautiful.

During your consultation, Dr. Dan Graves will discuss your goals and help you choose the best material based on your smile design, lifestyle, and budget.

What Veneers Can Fix

Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution that can address a variety of concerns, including:

Stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
Chipped or worn-down teeth
Gaps between teeth
Mildly crooked or misaligned teeth
Teeth that are uneven in size or shape

If you’re considering a full smile makeover, veneers may be combined with other services like clear aligners or dental crowns for a comprehensive transformation.

The Veneers Process at Rapid City Smiles

Consultation and Digital Imaging: We start with a smile evaluation and digital scan to map out your veneer design.
Tooth Preparation (if needed): Depending on the veneer type, a small amount of enamel may be removed. For options like Lumineers, this step may be skipped.
Impressions and Fabrication: We take digital impressions using Medit scanning technology, and your veneers are custom-crafted to match your smile.
Temporary Veneers (if applicable): If lab work is required, temporary veneers may be placed while your final restorations are being made.
Final Bonding: Once your veneers are ready, we bond them to your teeth and make final adjustments to ensure comfort and aesthetic alignment.

Patients who opt for CEREC veneers can skip the lab wait and leave the same day with their final restorations.

Dental Veneers FAQs

How long do veneers last?: Porcelain and zirconia veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care. Composite veneers may need to be replaced or repaired sooner.
Will my teeth be shaved down?: Minimal enamel is removed with traditional veneers. For no-prep options like Lumineers, little to no reduction is necessary.
Are veneers permanent?: Veneers are a long-term solution. Once enamel is removed, the process is not reversible. Lumineers may be a reversible option.
Do veneers stain like natural teeth?: Porcelain and zirconia veneers resist staining much better than natural enamel. Composite veneers may stain over time but can be polished.
Are veneers covered by insurance?: Veneers are considered cosmetic, so most insurance plans do not cover them. We offer flexible financing options to make your treatment affordable.
