Dental Veneers in Kalispell, MT

Transform Your Smile with Custom Veneers from Montana Dental Works

At Montana Dental Works, we believe your smile is more than just teeth — it’s a reflection of your confidence, your personality, and the moments that bring you joy. When you love your smile, you share it more freely, and that can change the way you feel in everyday life.

​

If your teeth are chipped, stained, uneven, or slightly misaligned, dental veneers can be a truly life-changing solution. These thin, custom-made coverings are designed to transform your smile while still looking and feeling completely natural. Here in our Kalispell office, we approach veneers as both a science and an art. Our team uses advanced digital technology to design each veneer with precision, while applying an artistic eye to ensure the shape, shade, and proportions perfectly match your facial features and natural smile. We take the time to listen to what you want, explain every step of the process, and craft results that not only look beautiful on day one but remain comfortable and durable for years to come.

​

Because we’re locally owned and deeply connected to the Flathead Valley community, your treatment is always personal. You’ll see the same friendly faces each visit, and we’ll be here to celebrate with you the first time you see your new smile in the mirror.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance. They are custom-designed for your face shape, smile line, and personal preferences, ensuring a result that’s as unique as you are.

​

Reasons to Consider Veneers

You may be a great candidate for veneers if you want to:

  • Cover deep stains that whitening can’t remove

  • Close gaps between teeth without orthodontics

  • Correct minor misalignments for a straighter look

  • Restore worn or chipped teeth

  • Improve tooth shape and size for better balance

 

Types of Dental Veneers We Offer

At Montana Dental Works, we understand that every smile is unique — and so are your goals. That’s why we offer multiple types of veneers, each designed to match your needs, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you’re looking for the ultimate in durability, a same-day transformation, or a minimally invasive option, we have the right solution for you.

Porcelain Veneers

Our porcelain veneers are crafted from premium, medical-grade ceramic that delivers the most natural and long-lasting results.

​

Key Features:

  • Exceptional Durability – Porcelain veneers are strong enough to handle daily biting and chewing while maintaining their beauty for 10–15 years or more with proper care.

  • Lifelike Translucency – The ceramic mimics the way natural enamel reflects light, ensuring your smile looks authentic.

  • Stain Resistance – Resistant to coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco stains, keeping your smile bright longer.

  • Customized Fit – Each veneer is designed for your exact tooth shape and smile line, requiring only minimal reshaping of the natural tooth for a seamless fit.

 

Best For:
Patients looking for a premium, long-term investment in their smile who want the most natural appearance possible.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are an affordable and versatile option for improving your smile, crafted from a tooth-colored resin that’s artistically sculpted directly onto your teeth.

​

Key Features:

  • More Budget-Friendly – Typically less expensive than porcelain veneers, making them a great choice for those seeking a cost-conscious solution.

  • Quick Results – Many cases can be completed in just one visit, meaning you can walk out the same day with a new smile.

  • Easily Repairable – If damaged, composite veneers can often be repaired without replacing the entire veneer.

  • Custom Shading & Shaping – The resin is color-matched to your existing teeth and shaped to achieve a natural look.

 

Best For:
Patients seeking a more affordable option or those who want faster results without the need for a dental lab.

The Veneer Process at Montana Dental Works

Our veneer process is designed to be comfortable, precise, and tailored to your vision for your smile. From your very first consultation to the moment you see your finished results, we focus on making every step easy to understand and stress-free.

​

Step 1. Consultation & Smile Design

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Dan McAllister, Dr. Sarah Fontana, or Dr. Riley Hanson. We’ll:

  • Discuss your smile goals in detail.

  • Evaluate your oral health to ensure veneers are the right choice for you.

  • Use Digital Smile Design and 3Shape scanning technology to create a digital preview of your new smile—so you can see your transformation before it even begins.

 

Step 2. Tooth Preparation (For Porcelain Veneers)

For porcelain veneers, a very small layer of enamel is gently reshaped to make room for your custom veneers. This is done with precision to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. For minimal-prep or no-prep veneers, this step is minimal or skipped entirely.

​

Step 3. Impressions & Custom Fabrication

Instead of messy traditional molds, we use digital impressions for accuracy and comfort. Your scans are sent to our advanced dental lab, where your veneers are precision-crafted using premium materials for a natural, long-lasting result.

​

Step 4. Temporary Veneers (If Needed)

If you’re receiving porcelain veneers, we may place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth and let you “test drive” your new smile while the lab works on your final set.

​

Step 5. Final Bonding & Perfecting Your Smile

Once your custom veneers arrive, we’ll carefully check the fit, color, and shape to ensure they match your smile design. Using advanced bonding technology, your veneers are permanently attached, polished, and refined until they look flawless.

​

Step 6. The Reveal

This is our favorite part—handing you the mirror so you can see your new smile for the first time. Most patients say it’s life-changing, and we love being a part of that moment.

Veneer Financing and Cost

Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and we want you to feel proud of yours. That’s why we’re open and upfront about what veneers cost and the options you have to make them fit comfortably into your budget.

​

The price will depend on the type of veneers you choose and how many teeth we’re treating, but here’s a general idea:

  • Porcelain Veneers: $1,200–$1,800 per tooth

  • Composite Veneers: $400–$800 per tooth

When you come in for your consultation, Dr. Dan McAllister, Dr. Sarah Fontana, or Dr. Riley Hanson will sit down with you, talk about your goals, and walk you through a customized treatment plan. You’ll get a clear estimate before we begin—no surprises.

​

Will My Insurance Help With the Cost?

For most people, veneers are considered a cosmetic treatment, so insurance typically doesn’t cover them. But there are some exceptions—if you need a veneer to repair a tooth after an accident or injury, for example, your plan might help cover part of it.

We’re happy to check your benefits for you and explain exactly what’s covered. You’ll always know your options before making a decision.

​

Making Veneers More Affordable

We believe cost should never stand in the way of a confident smile. That’s why we offer CareCredit® financing, which lets you:

  • Break payments into small, budget-friendly monthly amounts

  • Choose from 0% interest options (for qualifying applicants)

  • Start your treatment now and pay over time

If you’re interested, we’ll even help you apply before you leave the office so you can start your smile makeover right away.
