A single imperfection in your smile can affect your confidence in every social interaction and professional opportunity. Whether you’re dealing with chipped teeth, stubborn stains, gaps, or minor alignment issues, these concerns can make you hesitant to smile freely. Cosmetic dentistry offers transformative solutions, and porcelain veneers stand out as one of the most versatile and effective treatments for achieving a flawless smile.
At Sopris Smiles, we understand that patients in Cherry Hills Village seek more than just insurance-based dentistry when considering smile enhancement. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar and our team combine artistic vision with advanced dental technology to create porcelain veneers that look completely natural while addressing multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that bond permanently to the front surfaces of your teeth. These custom-crafted restorations typically measure between 0.5 and 0.7 millimeters thick, roughly the thickness of a contact lens, yet they provide remarkable strength and durability when properly placed.
The porcelain material closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, creating results that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. High-quality dental porcelain resists staining better than natural teeth, meaning your new smile may actually stay brighter longer than your original teeth would have.
Unlike composite bonding or other temporary solutions, porcelain veneers offer a permanent transformation that can last 10-20 years with proper care. The biocompatible material integrates well with your natural tooth structure, and the smooth surface resists plaque accumulation better than some other restorative materials.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
Porcelain veneers can simultaneously address multiple aesthetic issues, making them an efficient choice for comprehensive smile makeovers. Discolored teeth that don’t respond well to professional whitening often see dramatic improvement with veneers, particularly teeth stained by medications, genetics, or trauma.
Chipped or cracked teeth receive both cosmetic improvement and structural protection with veneer placement. The porcelain shell covers the damaged area while strengthening the remaining tooth structure. Minor gaps between teeth can be closed by creating slightly wider veneers, eliminating the need for orthodontic treatment in some cases.
Shape irregularities, including teeth that appear too small, too large, or asymmetrical, can be corrected to create a more balanced and attractive smile line. Veneers can even address minor alignment issues, making crooked teeth appear straight without the time commitment of traditional orthodontics.
Our veneer treatment process begins with comprehensive digital imaging that allows us to plan your results with precision. Using advanced technology, we capture detailed images of your teeth and facial structure to design veneers that complement your unique features.
Digital smile design software enables us to show you potential results before treatment begins, allowing you to participate actively in planning your new smile. We can adjust the size, shape, and color of your proposed veneers until you’re completely satisfied with the planned outcome.
Our CEREC digital scanning technology eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions, instead creating precise 3D models of your teeth digitally. This accuracy ensures your veneers fit perfectly and feel comfortable from the moment they’re placed.

The veneer process typically requires two to three appointments, depending on the complexity of your case and the number of teeth being treated. During your initial consultation, we evaluate your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals, creating a personalized treatment plan.
At the preparation appointment, we carefully remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of each tooth receiving a veneer. This step ensures the veneers won’t make your teeth appear bulky while creating the ideal surface for bonding. Local anesthetic keeps you comfortable during this process, though some patients may opt for our Solea laser technology for anesthetic-free treatment.
Temporary veneers protect your prepared teeth while our dental laboratory crafts your permanent restorations. These temporaries give you a preview of your new smile and allow you to experience the feel of veneers before your final placement appointment.
The final appointment involves the careful placement and bonding of your custom veneers. We begin by checking the fit and appearance of each veneer, making any necessary adjustments to ensure perfection. The color match is verified under different lighting conditions to guarantee natural-looking results.
The bonding process requires meticulous attention to detail, as proper adhesion determines the longevity of your veneers. We prepare both the veneer surface and your tooth surface with special conditioning agents that promote strong, durable bonding. Light-activated cement creates an incredibly strong bond between the porcelain and your natural tooth.
Final shaping and polishing complete the process, ensuring your new veneers feel smooth and comfortable. We check your bite to confirm proper alignment and make any needed adjustments before you leave our office.
Porcelain veneers require similar care to your natural teeth, with some additional considerations to maximize their lifespan. Regular brushing and flossing remain essential, though we may recommend specific products that are particularly gentle on porcelain surfaces.
Professional cleanings every six months allow us to monitor your veneers and address any concerns before they become problems. While porcelain resists staining, the edges where veneers meet natural teeth can still accumulate discoloration without proper care.
Avoiding habits like nail biting, ice chewing, or using teeth as tools helps protect your investment. While veneers are remarkably strong, they can chip or crack under excessive force, just like natural teeth would.
At Sopris Smiles, we believe porcelain veneers represent an investment in your confidence and quality of life. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar has logged over 100 hours of continuing education and maintains membership in prestigious organizations, including the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Colorado Dental Association, the Metro Denver Dental Society, and the American Dental Association.
