What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells (about the thickness of a contact lens) designed to fit seamlessly over the front surfaces of your teeth. When crafted and placed by a skilled cosmetic dentist, veneers can dramatically elevate the harmony and balance of your entire face, creating a smile that enhances your unique features.
These thin, durable porcelain shells can address:
- Stains and deep discoloration
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Uneven or worn enamel
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Mild misalignment or irregular shapes
While many dentists offer veneers, few possess the artistic training and experience required to consistently deliver beautiful, long-lasting results. In addition to being renowned for their precision and artistry when treating first-time patients, Dr. Moore and Dr. Murray have helped hundreds of patients correct unsatisfactory veneers placed elsewhere. Don’t settle for a mediocre result that leads to frustration or costly revisions; start with a team that gets it right the first time!

What Types of Veneers Are Available?
Dr. Moore and Dr. Murray offer several advanced veneer options:
No-Prep Veneers
Many of our patients are eligible for no-prep veneers, an ultra-conservative approach that requires no modification of your natural enamel. Thanks to our on-site dental lab, state-of-the-art technology, and a team of highly skilled ceramic technicians, we can deliver lifelike results with exceptional precision and efficiency.
E-max Porcelain Veneers
E-max veneers are crafted from a high-strength, translucent porcelain material known for its beauty and durability. These restorations can offer a refined, natural-looking appearance and are frequently ideal for patients seeking a celebrity-inspired smile makeover.
Lumineers®
As thin as a contact lens, Lumineers® require little to no tooth preparation and can be placed comfortably with minimal discomfort. Made from Cerinate® porcelain (a material reinforced with volcanic rock), Lumineers® are strong, stain-resistant, and incredibly lifelike. When properly cared for, they can last 20 years or more.
As a Certified Lumineers® Dentist, Dr. Moore has helped countless patients achieve stunning, white, symmetrical smiles with Lumineers® since 2006.
What Does the Porcelain Veneers Procedure Involve?
At Cosmetic Dental Associates, we’ve streamlined the porcelain veneer process to be as efficient, comfortable, and effective as possible. Our on-site dental lab allows us to precisely shape and shade each dental veneer before it is applied to your tooth for a remarkably natural look.
We specialize in no-prep and minimal-prep veneers, which means we aim to preserve as much of your healthy enamel as possible. In many cases, our ultra-thin veneers can be placed with little to no tooth alteration; however, for patients with specific smile concerns or structural needs, a small amount of enamel reshaping may be recommended for the best fit and aesthetic outcome.
Enjoy a stunning, confident look with same-day results!
Step-by-Step Overview of the Veneer Process
- Veneers consultation. We begin with a comprehensive consultation of your overall oral health and what your goals are for your smile. During this time, we will also address any questions and concerns you have about veneers.
- Tooth preparation (if needed) and mold. If minimal prep is required, we gently reshape the outer surface of the tooth to create space for the veneer. (In no-prep cases, this step is skipped). We then take a mold or impression of your teeth.
- Custom veneer fabrication. Your veneers are crafted right here in our lab by ceramic technicians using premium materials.
- Veneer placement. Once your veneers are ready, we bond them securely to your teeth. We make final adjustments for shape, shade, and comfort, then polish your new smile to perfection.
If you’re interested in a more comprehensive smile enhancement, your treatment may be included in a customized smile makeover alongside procedures like teeth whitening or gum reshaping.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?
The cost of veneers in San Antonio can range widely due to several factors, such as the quality of the material being used, the number of teeth treated, whether or not the office has its own lab, and the experience and expertise of the doctor administering the treatment.
It’s important to remember that while veneers are an investment, choosing a dentist based on the lowest price will likely not yield the best results. With this in mind, picking the dentist that charges the most won’t guarantee the best result either, as we have redone smile makeovers wherein the other cosmetic dentist charged more per tooth. At our practice, we strive to provide the highest quality of work at a reasonable cost, positioning ourselves perfectly within that “sweet spot” where quality meets value.
Because porcelain veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, they are usually not covered by insurance. That said, our dentists aim to make this transformative treatment accessible to everyone. For this reason, we accept major credit cards and even offer flexible financing options through trusted third-party providers like CareCredit®, which can allow eligible patients to pay for their care in monthly installments.
