Veneers are the most dramatic cosmetic option we offer. Thin custom shells of porcelain or composite, bonded to the front of your teeth, that change the shape, size, color, and overall look of your smile in a way nothing else quite matches. At Two Rivers Dental Group in Springfield, OR, Dr. Matthew Collins designs every veneer case around your face, your tone, and your goals. The result should look like the best version of your own smile, not someone else's.
Veneers should look like your teeth, just better. If someone can tell they're veneers, the case wasn't designed right.

Two Veneer Materials
Both materials make excellent veneers. The right choice depends on your goals, your budget, and how dramatic a change you want. Here's the honest comparison.
Premium ceramic shells custom-fabricated by a dental lab. Highly natural appearance with the longest lifespan of any veneer option.
Tooth-colored composite resin sculpted directly onto your teeth in our office. Same-day cosmetic option at a more accessible price point.
Honest Expectations
Veneers are powerful, but they're not the answer to every smile concern. Here's a clear breakdown of when veneers make sense and when another treatment is the better call.
The Veneer Process
Porcelain veneers come together over three visits across two to three weeks. Composite veneers are typically completed in a single visit. Here's what each phase looks like.
You sit down with Dr. Collins and we talk through what you want to change. We take photos, digital impressions, and a 3D scan of your teeth. Then we design a preview of your future smile so you can approve the look before any work starts.
Dr. Collins gently reshapes the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. The amount removed is minimal, often less than a millimeter. Temporary veneers are placed so you have a beautiful smile while your custom veneers are crafted at the lab.
Two to three weeks later, your custom veneers arrive from the lab. Dr. Collins removes the temporaries, checks the fit and color of each final veneer, and bonds them in place permanently. You walk out with your finished smile.
The Real Investment
Veneers are a real investment. Most patients change between four and eight teeth, depending on how wide their smile is. Cost varies based on the material chosen, the number of teeth involved, and any restorative work needed first. We provide written estimates after your smile consultation, so there are no surprises. Two Rivers Dental Group offers flexible payment options to make veneers more accessible. Visit our patient resources page for more details.
