Chipped, stained, uneven, or misshapen teeth? Dental veneers cover the front surfaces of selected teeth to change their visible color, shape, size, or spacing. Contact Dental Faith to discuss dental veneers in Nashville with Dr. M. Paula Fedler.
Veneers are one way to change the appearance of selected teeth. Depending on your concerns and oral health, Dr. Fedler may discuss veneers, whitening, bonding, crowns, or a combination of treatments.
Porcelain veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front surfaces of selected teeth. They may be used to change the visible color, shape, size, or spacing of teeth. Dr. Fedler will examine your teeth, gums, and bite before recommending treatment.
Coffee, wine, and time can stain your teeth. Our professional teeth whitening in Nashville uses ZOOM technology for results you see the same day. We also offer take-home kits for gradual whitening on your schedule.
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to change the appearance of selected chips, small gaps, uneven edges, or other cosmetic concerns. The amount of tooth preparation needed depends on the tooth and the planned treatment.
A tooth-colored crown covers the visible portion of a tooth. It may be recommended when a tooth has more damage, wear, or lost structure than a veneer or bonding can address.
Composite veneers use tooth-colored resin applied and shaped directly on selected teeth. They may require a different amount of tooth preparation and have different care and replacement needs than porcelain veneers.

Veneers Can Change Several Visible Features
Veneers may be used to change the visible color, shape, size, spacing, or alignment of selected teeth. They do not treat every cosmetic concern, and the teeth and gums must be evaluated first.
Porcelain veneers are designed with the surrounding teeth and the patient’s cosmetic goals in mind. Shade and appearance can vary based on the material, lighting, underlying tooth color, and other factors.
Each veneer is planned for the tooth receiving treatment. Dr. Fedler considers the tooth’s shape, position, color, and relationship with the surrounding teeth.
Porcelain veneers usually require more than one appointment. The number and timing of visits depend on tooth preparation, laboratory work, temporary restorations, and any treatment needed first.
Many porcelain veneers require the removal of some enamel. The amount depends on the tooth, veneer type, position, and desired change. Because removed enamel does not grow back, patients should understand this part of treatment before proceeding.
Veneers can chip, crack, loosen, stain, wear, or require replacement. Their lifespan varies based on the material, bite, tooth condition, oral hygiene, grinding, and daily habits.
Not sure where to start? Here is exactly what happens when you come in for a smile makeover in Nashville at Dental Faith.
The cost of dental veneers depends on the material, number of teeth treated, amount of tooth preparation, and laboratory involved.
Veneer Material – Porcelain and composite veneers involve different materials, procedures, and fees.
Number of Teeth – The total cost depends in part on how many teeth are included in the treatment plan.
Condition of the Teeth – Decay, gum disease, damaged restorations, or bite concerns may need to be addressed before cosmetic treatment.
Additional Services – Whitening, bonding, crowns, or other treatment may affect the total cost when included in the same plan.
An examination is needed before Dr. Fedler can recommend veneers and provide an estimate. Dental insurance often treats veneers as cosmetic care, but benefits vary by plan. Contact Dental Faith to ask about current fees and payment options.

Veneers may be included in a cosmetic treatment plan when a patient wants to change the appearance of selected teeth. Depending on the concern, Dr. Fedler may also discuss whitening, bonding, crowns, or an orthodontic referral.
Veneers may be considered for:
✦ Selected chipped or worn teeth
✦ Discoloration that does not respond well to whitening
✦ Changes to visible tooth shape or size
✦ Small spaces between selected teeth
✦ Minor appearance concerns involving tooth position
✦ A more even-looking smile
Veneers are not right for every patient. Dr. Fedler will evaluate the health of the teeth and gums, the amount of enamel present, and the patient’s bite before recommending treatment.
Dental Faith may use photographs, digital scans, impressions, or other records when planning veneer treatment.
Treatment Planning – Dr. Fedler reviews the teeth, gums, bite, and cosmetic concerns before recommending veneers.
Fit and Bite Evaluation – Each veneer is evaluated for fit, contact with nearby teeth, shape, shade, and bite before bonding.
Porcelain Restorations – Porcelain veneers are made by a dental laboratory based on the records and treatment plan provided by the office.
Treatment Options – The amount of tooth preparation depends on the tooth, its position, and the type of veneer being considered.

The cost depends on the veneer material, number of teeth treated, laboratory fees, and whether other dental care is needed first. Dental Faith can provide an estimate after Dr. Fedler examines your teeth and discusses the treatment plan.
The 4-8-10 rule is an informal treatment-planning concept based on the number of teeth visible in a person’s smile. It is not a rule that applies to every patient. The number of veneers considered depends on the smile, cosmetic goals, bite, and condition of the teeth.
Traditional veneers are considered permanent because a small layer of enamel is removed to place them. That enamel does not grow back. Prepless veneers are a less permanent option that requires little to no enamel removal.
Yes. Veneers cover the entire front surface of the tooth, so color and shape are completely refreshed. Deep stains that whitening cannot treat are no problem for veneers.
Patients with untreated gum disease, severe tooth decay, or teeth grinding issues may need those treated first. Patients without enough enamel may need crowns instead. We check everything at your consultation.
Prepless veneers are designed to require little or no removal of tooth structure in selected cases. They are not suitable for every tooth or cosmetic concern and may add thickness to the teeth.
Veneer lifespan varies. Material, bite, grinding, oral hygiene, tooth condition, and daily habits can all affect how long a veneer remains in place.
Look for real before and after photos, strong Google reviews, and experience with smile makeovers. Dental Faith has a five-star rating and has helped hundreds of Nashville patients with porcelain and custom veneers.
Yes. Full-mouth veneers in Nashville are one of the most common treatments we offer. We place veneers across all visible front teeth for a complete, uniform look. Most full-mouth cases finish in two to three visits.
Getting veneers is not painful. We numb the area before any enamel preparation. Some patients feel mild sensitivity for a day or two after placement. Most patients say the process was much easier than they expected.
Call Dental Faith to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. M. Paula Fedler. She can examine your teeth and discuss whether veneers or another cosmetic option may be appropriate.
