If you’re self-conscious about stained, chipped, or uneven teeth, veneers may be the perfect solution to give you the confident smile you’ve always wanted. At Cox Family Dentistry, we offer high-quality, custom veneers in Sikeston, MO to help you achieve a brighter, more balanced smile—quickly and comfortably.
Dr. Sam Cox takes a personalized approach to cosmetic dentistry, combining advanced techniques with artistic attention to detail. Whether you’re looking to fix a single tooth or completely refresh your smile, we’re here to help you love the way your teeth look and feel.
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells—usually made of porcelain or composite—that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, offering long-lasting improvements in both shape and color.
Porcelain veneers are especially popular because they are highly durable, stain-resistant, and reflect light similarly to natural enamel.
Choosing veneers at Cox Family Dentistry offers several advantages:
Our goal is to create a result that looks natural—not overdone—so you can feel confident whether you’re at work, out with friends, or smiling for photos.
Your smile transformation begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Cox, who will evaluate your teeth, listen to your goals, and walk you through your options. If veneers are right for you, here’s how the process typically works:
We’ll take digital images and impressions of your teeth and discuss the shade, shape, and overall look you want to achieve.
A very small amount of enamel (often less than 1 millimeter) is gently removed to make room for the veneer. This ensures a seamless fit and natural appearance.
You may receive temporary veneers while your permanent ones are custom-made in a dental lab.
Once your custom veneers are ready, Dr. Cox will check their fit and appearance before bonding them in place with precision and care.
The result is a comfortable, polished, and long-lasting smile makeover.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more. Composite veneers may have a shorter lifespan but still offer great results for several years.
To keep your veneers looking their best:
We’ll keep an eye on your veneers at each visit to make sure they stay strong and beautiful.
Veneers are a great option for many adults who want to improve their smile. However, they aren’t right for everyone. Patients with severe tooth decay, gum disease, or untreated bite issues may need to address those concerns first.
Dr. Cox will evaluate your oral health and help you determine whether veneers—or another cosmetic option—will best meet your needs.
