Transform your smile with porcelain and composite veneers from Clio Dental in Houston Heights - custom designed for natural beauty, strength, and lasting confidence.
Porcelain & Composite Veneers in Houston Heights
Porcelain and composite veneers are ultra‑thin, custom‑crafted coverings that bond to the front of your teeth to transform your smile’s color, shape, and symmetry. They are ideal for masking stains, chips, gaps, worn edges, and minor misalignment — giving you a brighter, more balanced smile with long‑lasting results.
At Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights, Dr. Rouhani designs veneers with a meticulous, artistic approach and modern digital planning. Porcelain veneers offer exceptional durability and stain resistance, while composite veneers provide a more affordable, conservative option that can often be completed in a single visit. Together, these choices allow us to tailor your treatment to your goals, budget, and desired timeline.

How the Veneers Process Works
What veneers can fix
Veneers at Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite that bond to the front of your teeth to change their color, shape and symmetry. Dr. Sanaz Rouhani, DDS, FAGD, plans every case from an iTero 3D scan and lets you preview your new smile with a temporary mock-up before anything is final, so the result looks natural, never over-done.
Stubborn discoloration
Stains that do not respond to whitening, including discoloration from medication.
Chips and cracks
Small chips, cracks and worn or uneven edges.
Gaps
Small spaces between front teeth.
Shape and symmetry
Teeth that are misshapen, short or mildly crooked.
Porcelain vs. composite veneers
Dr. Rouhani talks through your goals and lifestyle at the consultation and helps you choose the material that fits.
What happens, step by step
Smile design consultation
You talk through what you want to change, how natural you want the result to look, and your timeline. Dr. Rouhani checks that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for veneers.
iTero digital scan
The iTero scanner captures a precise 3D model of your teeth, with no messy impressions.
Your preview
A temporary mock-up lets you see and feel your new smile before final placement, so shape and length can be adjusted to suit your face.
Bonding and polishing
Your veneers are bonded carefully and polished to a natural shine. Composite veneers are often shaped and bonded in the same visit.
Porcelain veneers: what the appointments look like
After your consultation, porcelain veneers typically take two quick appointments. At the first, Dr. Rouhani cleans and numbs your teeth, removes a very thin layer of enamel so the veneers sit perfectly in your smile, takes a 3D scan and fits a set of temporary veneers. Your veneers are then designed with computer software from your scan and built by an experienced technician at our dental lab partner, which usually takes about 2-3 weeks. At the final visit, Dr. Rouhani checks the fit, makes any last adjustments, bonds each veneer in place with permanent dental cement and polishes your new smile.
Thinking about whitening too?
Veneers do not change color with whitening, so if you want brighter natural teeth alongside your veneers, whitening usually comes first and the veneers are matched to your new shade. See professional teeth whitening.
Caring for your veneers
Brush twice a day, floss once a day, and see Dr. Rouhani for a check-up every six months. You can treat them just like your natural teeth.
Porcelain is nonporous and nearly impervious to stains, so tea, coffee and soda will not stain your veneers.
Avoid biting hard objects and using your teeth as tools, which protects the bond.
If you grind or clench at night, a custom nightguard protects your investment.
Ways to pay for veneers
Veneers are usually considered cosmetic, so insurance often does not cover them. Your consultation gives you your exact plan and fee. To make it manageable:
Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon, Sunbit and CareCredit. See payment plans and financing.
The Clio Care Plan, the practice's in-house membership, includes 15% off procedures. See the dental membership plan.

Veneers questions, answered
How long do veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years, and some patients keep their new smiles even longer. That makes veneers the longest-lasting way to restore your smile. Composite veneers usually last less time but are easy to repair if they chip.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Veneers are minimally invasive: little to no natural tooth structure needs to be removed, depending on the case and the material. Dr. Rouhani explains exactly what your plan involves at the consultation.
Can I see what my veneers will look like first?
Yes. After an iTero 3D scan, a temporary mock-up lets you preview your new smile before final placement.
Porcelain or composite: which is better?
Porcelain is the most durable and stain-resistant option. Composite is more affordable, can often be done in one visit and is easy to repair. The right choice depends on your goals, lifestyle and budget.
How long does it take to get porcelain veneers?
After your consultation, typically two quick appointments: tooth preparation, when a 3D scan is taken and temporary veneers are placed, then final placement once your veneers come back from the dental lab partner, usually about 2-3 weeks later.
Will my veneers stain?
Porcelain is nonporous and nearly impervious to stains, so tea, coffee and soda will not stain your veneers.
Can veneers be whitened?
No. Veneers keep the shade they are made in, so if you want whiter natural teeth, whitening is usually done first and the veneers are matched to it.
Does insurance cover veneers?
Veneers are usually considered cosmetic, so most insurance plans do not cover them. Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon, Sunbit and CareCredit is available, and the Clio Care Plan includes 15% off procedures.
How do I care for veneers?
Brush, floss and keep your regular check-ups. Avoid biting hard objects, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
