Transform your smile
with custom veneers

Chipped, stained, or uneven teeth can hold you back, but the fix doesn’t have to feel complicated. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth, covering what bothers you and leaving the rest alone. At Saint City Dental, we customize every set to reflect your natural appearance, not hide it.

We’re on West 7th, a few minutes from Highland Park and Macalester-Groveland. Before anything gets prepped, you’ll know what our St. Paul veneers can do for your teeth and what they can’t.

Common questions about
St. Paul veneers

K
L

Are veneers permanent?

Usually, yes, and it’s worth knowing that before you start. Traditional veneers need a thin layer of enamel removed, and enamel doesn’t grow back. No-prep veneers are the exception.

Are no-prep veneers an option?

Sometimes, and it depends on the shape and position of your teeth. No-prep veneers are ultra-thin and need little or no enamel reduction. We’ll assess whether you’re a candidate.

Do St. Paul veneers look natural?

They should, and that’s the whole point of the design work. We match shape, shade, and symmetry to your face, and you can preview the design digitally before we start.

How long does treatment take?

Most cases take two visits, though some can be finished in one with same-day CEREC milling. Complex cases run longer, and we’ll say so up front.

Do veneers hurt?

Prep is done with local anesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel it, and mild sensitivity afterward is normal. Nitrous oxide is available if the appointment makes you anxious.

What veneers
can fix

Veneers work best on front teeth that bother you but are structurally sound. They’re a good match for:

  • Deep stains that whitening can’t lift
  • Chipped edges and enamel worn thin over time
  • Small gaps you’d rather not close with braces
  • Teeth that sit slightly crooked or rotated
  • Teeth that look short or uneven beside their neighbors
  • Teeth that are oddly shaped or undersized

If a tooth is cracked, decayed, or heavily filled, we’ll talk about a crown instead.

Are you a
good candidate?

Veneers ask a few things of your teeth before we start planning a case.

  • Healthy gums and no active decay
  • Enough enamel left to bond to
  • A bite that isn’t steadily wearing your teeth down
  • Clenching under control, or a nightguard in place to manage it
  • Goals for the finished look that we’ve talked through together

If you grind at night, we’ll sort that out before any veneers go on. We never pressure you into treatment, and waiting is always a fine answer.

What to expect with
veneers

Here’s how a veneer case usually runs, from the first appointment to the finished smile.

  • A design consultation to plan the look you want
  • Digital scans instead of goopy impressions
  • A digital smile preview, plus a trial smile in many cases
  • Minimal enamel reduction where the case requires it
  • Same-day milling here, or a lab-crafted set, depending on the case
  • Final veneers bonded, polished, and checked against your bite

How long veneers last,
and how to care for them

Porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer, while composite tends to run shorter. What you do at home matters as much as the material.

  • Brush and floss the way you always have
  • Keep your regular cleanings so we can check the margins
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind or clench
  • Skip chewing ice, pen caps, and fingernails
  • Remember that veneers don’t whiten, so the teeth around them can shift shade

Dr. Cassi and Saint City Dental are one of the best in the business! I was greeted with friendly smiles from their excellent staff and had a very short wait until they brought me back for my appointment. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends.

I get quite nervous at the dentist (had bad experiences as a kid), but Dr. Rachel & Kelly help keep my mind off things. They are so gentle and kind…the best team around!

- Bonnie M.

Been coming to this dentist for 8 years, and I love them. I recently had my first dental issue of my adult life and really felt heard. I had mouth pain after a cavity was filled, and the practice listened and tried to help me. It was such a relief to be heard and helped when I was in pain.

- Sarah B.

“I highly recommend this dental practice. They are professional, calm, kind, and practical. I have worked with a variety of hygienists and dentists, and my visits have all been high-quality. It is clear folks here lead with integrity and put the best interest of their patients first.”
