How Tacoma veneers come together at Dentistry NW
Your veneers move through four stages, and Dr. Smith sets your timeline at your consultation.
- 1
Consultation and wax-up preview
You tell Dr. Smith what you'd like to change. He then shows you a wax-up, a physical preview of the proposed changes, so you can picture the result before treatment begins.
- 2
Your cost breakdown
Dentistry NW prices veneers per veneer. At your consultation, you get a detailed cost breakdown, so you know the number before you decide.
- 3
Custom veneers from a trusted lab
Dr. Smith works with a trusted dental lab for a precise fit and color match. The lab crafts your veneers in porcelain when possible, for durability and natural translucency.
- 4
Your new smile
Dr. Smith bonds your finished veneers to your teeth at Dentistry NW, in the same office where you get your cleanings and checkups.
Veneers, bonding,
whitening, or aligners
Veneers aren't the only way to a smile you like, and Dr. Smith helps you pick the smallest step that gets you there. Dentistry NW offers all four in one office.
Composite bonding
In one Smile Gallery case, bonding reshaped a patient's front teeth without crowns, veneers, or braces.
Teeth whitening
Brightens your natural teeth when color is the only thing that bothers you.
SureSmile clear aligners
Straighten crooked teeth before any cosmetic work.
You can compare these with crown lengthening and the rest of the practice's care on the full list of services.

Tacoma veneers:
your questions answered
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that a dentist bonds to the front of your teeth to change their shape, color, size, or spacing. At Dentistry NW, a trusted dental lab crafts each veneer, in porcelain when possible.
How much do Tacoma veneers cost?
Dentistry NW prices veneers per veneer, so your cost depends on how many teeth you change. Dr. Smith gives you a detailed cost breakdown at your consultation. CareCredit and Cherry financing can spread the cost over time.
How long does the veneer process take?
Dr. Smith sets your timeline at your consultation, because it depends on how many veneers you get. The process runs in order: consultation and wax-up preview, cost breakdown, lab crafting, then bonding at Dentistry NW.
Will my veneers look natural?
Dentistry NW uses porcelain when possible because porcelain has a natural translucency. Dr. Smith works with a trusted dental lab for a precise fit and color match, and the wax-up preview lets you see the proposed shape first.
Can I see what my veneers will look like before treatment?
Yes. Dr. Smith shows you a wax-up, a physical preview of the proposed changes, before treatment begins.
Do veneers hurt?
Dentistry NW offers nitrous oxide for patients who feel anxious about dental work. Dr. Smith walks you through each step at your consultation, and patients describe a team that emphasizes pain and anxiety management.
Can I get veneers on just one or two teeth?
Yes. Veneers don't have to cover your whole smile, and Dentistry NW prices them per veneer. In one Smile Gallery case, veneers narrowed the space between a patient's two front teeth while keeping the character of his smile.
I'm not sure I need veneers. What else could work?
Dr. Smith tells you at your consultation whether bonding, whitening, or SureSmile clear aligners would get you there with less treatment. Dentistry NW offers all of them in the same Tacoma office, and the team doesn't recommend treatment you don't need.
