Dental Veneers in Omaha: The Fastest Way to a Brighter, Straighter Smile

Looking for a dramatic smile makeover without spending years in treatment? Dental veneers Omaha might be exactly what you need. At Regency Dental, Dr. Dan Ellingson, Dr. Kenneth Spanel, and Dr. Brandon Nelson have helped countless patients achieve the confident, camera-ready smiles they’ve always wanted—often in just two visits.

Veneers offer a quick solution for teeth chipped, stained, slightly crooked, or not quite the shape you want. Think of them as a shortcut to the smile you dream about.

What Are Dental Veneers, Really?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth. They’re typically made from porcelain and mimic how natural teeth reflect light. The result? A smile that looks totally natural, not fake or overly perfect.

Here’s what veneers can fix:

Stubborn stains that whitening treatments can’t touch
Chips or cracks from accidents or wear
Gaps between teeth that bother you
Slightly crooked or misaligned teeth
Uneven or worn-down teeth from grinding

The beauty of veneers is their versatility. You can get just one veneer to fix a problem tooth or transform your entire smile with a full set.

The Veneer Process at Regency Dental

Getting dental veneers in Omaha at Regency Dental is straightforward. During your first appointment, your dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel—usually less than a millimeter—to create room for the veneer so your tooth doesn’t look bulky.

Next, they’ll take impressions of your teeth. These impressions go to a dental lab, where skilled technicians craft your custom veneers. While you wait, you’ll wear temporary veneers so that you won’t walk around with sensitive teeth.

When your permanent veneers are ready (usually within a few weeks), you’ll return for your second visit. Your dentist will carefully bond each veneer to your tooth using a special adhesive and curing light. They’ll make any final adjustments to ensure everything feels comfortable and looks amazing.

The team at Regency Dental takes its time during this process because precision matters. Dr. Ellingson, Dr. Spanel, and Dr. Brandon Nelson have years of experience placing veneers, and they understand that small details make a big difference in your final result.

Pre-Treatment Digital Design and Smile Protection

Before preparing your teeth for veneers, we perform a pre-treatment digital design of your new smile—commonly called a “wax up.” This digital mock-up allows you to see and even try on your new smile with a trial fit in the office before tooth preparation occurs. This ensures you love the design and that the aesthetics and bite feel right.

We recommend Zoom whitening before moving forward with your veneers to achieve the brightest, most consistent shade possible. Once we complete your veneers, every patient will receive a custom night guard to protect their new veneers and maintain their investment for years to come.

How Long Do Veneers Actually Last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years—sometimes even longer. That’s a pretty good return on investment for something that transforms your smile daily.

Taking care of veneers isn’t complicated. You’ll brush and floss like normal, though you should avoid using your front teeth as tools to open packages (but you shouldn’t do that anyway). If you grind your teeth at night, a nightguard can protect your veneers from excessive wear.

Regular dental checkups help catch any issues early. The philosophy at Regency Dental centers on preventive care and building long-term relationships with patients, which means they’ll help you maintain your investment for years to come.

Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Options

How do dental veneers in Omaha compare to other treatments? Let’s break it down.

Whitening treatments like Zoom whitening work great for removing surface stains and brightening your natural teeth. Regency Dental offers in-office whitening and sends patients home with custom trays and Zoom gel to continue the process. But whitening can’t fix chips, gaps, or crooked teeth—that’s where veneers shine.

Bonding is another option for minor repairs. It’s less expensive than veneers, but the composite resin material isn’t as durable or stain-resistant as porcelain. Bonding typically lasts 3 to 5 years before needing touch-ups.

Veneers fall somewhere in the middle cost-wise but offer the most dramatic and longest-lasting results. They’re hard to beat when you want to address multiple cosmetic issues at once.

What Does Investing in Dental Veneers Look Like?

Let’s talk money. Veneers are an investment, and costs vary based on how many teeth you’re treating and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, the team at Regency Dental will give you a clear breakdown of costs.

The good news? Many patients find that flexible payment plans make veneers more accessible than they initially thought. Regency Dental works with patients to create payment options that fit different budgets.

Some dental insurance plans cover a portion of veneer costs if there’s a medical reason for the treatment (like a broken tooth). The team can help you understand your coverage and maximize your benefits.
