Porcelain Veneers in Centennial, CO
Porcelain Veneers in Centennial, CO
Fix the things that bother you. Keep everything that makes your smile yours.
What Veneers Can Fix
Stained or Discolored Teeth
When whitening can't touch it: deep stains, tetracycline, fluorosis.
Chips and Cracks
Front tooth damage that bonding can't fully cover.
Gaps Between Teeth
Close spacing issues without braces or aligners.
Misshapen or Uneven Teeth
One tooth too short, another too narrow. Veneers even things out.
Worn-Down Teeth
Years of grinding or aging. Veneers restore length and shape.
Slightly Crooked (Without Orthodontics)
Minor alignment issues that don't justify 6-12 months of trays.
Veneers vs. Bonding vs. Whitening: Which One?
| Porcelain Veneers | Dental Bonding | Professional Whitening | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Multiple concerns at once: color, shape, chips, gaps | Small chips, minor reshaping, 1-2 teeth | Stains and discoloration only |
| Durability | 10–20 years | 5–10 years | 1–3 years (needs touch-ups) |
| Visits | 2 visits | 1 visit | 1 visit |
| Stain resistant? | Yes, porcelain doesn't stain | No, can discolor over time | N/A, your natural enamel |
| Tooth prep | Thin layer removed | Minimal to none | None |
| Cost | $$$ | $ | $$ |
| When to choose it | You want a lasting, multi-fix solution | You have one small thing to fix | Color is the only issue |
Dr. Baranes always starts with the most conservative option. If bonding or whitening solves the problem, he won't push veneers. But when multiple things need fixing at once, veneers are usually the smartest single investment.
From Consultation to Final Smile: 4 Steps
Free Consultation
Dr. Baranes examines your teeth, listens to what bothers you, and explains what veneers can realistically do. You'll discuss shade, shape, and how many teeth are involved. No cost, no commitment.
Prep & Impressions
A thin layer of enamel is removed (we're talking less than a millimeter). Impressions go to the lab. Temporary veneers cover you in the meantime. You won't walk around with prepped teeth showing.
Custom Fabrication
Your porcelain veneers are handcrafted to match your natural teeth in color, translucency, and shape. This takes about 1-2 weeks. Worth the wait.
Bonding Day
The veneers are placed, adjusted, and permanently bonded. Dr. Baranes checks your bite, fine-tunes the fit, and you walk out with your new smile. That's it.
Who's Designing Your Veneers
Experienced cosmetic dentistry care: aesthetic planning + surgical precision.
Hundreds of veneer cases. Every smile is custom.
If bonding does the job, he says so. No upselling.
Veneers that look perfect but throw off your bite aren't a solution. He checks both.
Veneers are permanent. You're going to live with them for 10, 15, maybe 20 years. So I don't rush the design phase. We talk about what you want, I look at your face, not just your teeth, and we build something that looks like it was always there. That's the difference between good veneers and great ones.

Book My Free Veneers ConsultationVeneer Cost in Centennial: What's Realistic
- Veneers are priced per tooth: how many you need determines the total
- Porcelain lasts 10-20 years, making the per-year cost surprisingly reasonable
- Free consultation includes an itemized quote. You'll know exactly what you're looking at
- Some insurance plans cover veneers partially if there's a functional reason
- 0% financing available: monthly payments instead of one big number
Think of it this way: if you're spending $150 a year on whitening that doesn't really work, veneers might actually save you money long-term, and they fix more than just color.
The prep part sounds intense, but it's genuinely minimal: thinner than a contact lens. Anesthesia keeps you comfortable, and sedation is on the table if you'd rather not feel anything at all.

Will they look fake?
Not if they're done right. Dr. Baranes designs around your face: skin tone, lip shape, how much tooth shows when you smile. The goal is that people notice you look great without being able to pinpoint what changed.
Does getting veneers ruin your natural teeth?
A thin layer of enamel is removed, less than a millimeter. It's permanent, which means the decision is too. But the tooth underneath stays healthy. Dr. Baranes won't prep teeth that don't need it.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
10 to 20 years with normal care. Brush, floss, don't use your teeth as bottle openers. They're durable, but not indestructible.
Can I still eat normally?
Yes. Once they're bonded, they're as strong as natural teeth. Biting into an apple, eating steak: all fine. Just avoid using your front teeth to crack ice or open packages.
How much do veneers cost in Centennial?
It depends on how many teeth are involved. The consultation is free and includes exact pricing. Most patients do 4-8 veneers for the visible smile zone. Financing available, 0% interest.
What's the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain is stronger, more stain-resistant, and looks more natural: it mimics how real enamel reflects light. Composite is cheaper upfront but doesn't last as long and can discolor over time. We use porcelain.
I only need to fix one or two teeth. Is that still worth it?
Absolutely. Not every case is a full smile makeover. One chipped front tooth, one tooth that's a different shade: veneers handle those just as well. Dr. Baranes will match the new ones to your existing teeth so nothing stands out.
What would you fix about your smile?
Free consultation. Honest advice. No pressure to decide on the spot.
