All too often, patients assume that their dream smile is simply out of reach. That’s not the case! In fact, several cosmetic dental services today can fix a number of dental problems at once. Veneers are a great example of that because they can conceal gaps, chips, stains, and the like. Plus, you won’t need to commit to a 6+ month-long treatment plan; the entire process of transforming your smile can be done in as little as two visits to our office. Want to learn more? Then get in touch with us to schedule a consultation or read on!
Since veneers are widely loved by people in the public eye, like movie stars and social media influencers, you’ve probably seen them countless times. But what exactly are they? In short, high-quality dental materials like porcelain are made into thin shells that are about the width of a fingernail. Since the size, shape, and shade are completely customizable, they can conceal a wide range of dental imperfections with ease, including permanent discoloration.
The very first step is your consultation with Dr. Mahler, which is when he will sit down with you to discuss your dental history, oral health, and smile goals. If he determines that you’re a good candidate for veneers, then a custom treatment plan will be made, and your teeth will be “prepped” (a sliver of enamel is removed). While the lab artisans are working on your veneers, we will provide you with temporary ones and share some helpful information on how to care for them. As soon as they are ready, we’ll call you back into our office to secure your final veneers in place.
If you’re wondering why patients and professionals alike love veneers, here are a few reasons:
The cost of veneers varies because each patient’s aesthetic goals vary! In other words, the only way we can provide you with an accurate estimate of the price is by learning about your unique dental needs and smile goals at your consultation. From there, we can create your custom treatment plan, give you a number, and answer any questions you have. Of course, we will also review the financial solutions available to make the price more budget-friendly, including CareCredit.
Our patients’ satisfaction is our top priority. From routine checkups to advanced dental care, we make sure every smile leaves our office healthier and happier.
I walked in to see the dentist for a consultation. I thought I would be turned back due to not having an appointment. Amazingly, the doctor welcomed me, examined me in a professional and friendly way. Frankly, he took the time to check my teeth and explained in details his... read more

Dr Mahler has been my dentist for over 30 years. Simple cleaning this time. He had done a crown and filled cavities. I have brought family and friends to him. Personable and lets you know what needs to be done . I highly recommend him.
312 Smile is the best, they are definitely 5 star, they always take good care of their patients dental needs. 😊
Great expertise. A 1 in a million phenomenon. The destroyer of TMJ. Other dentists tremble at the sound of the name doctor Mahler (and I’m not talking about the weight loss doctor in Lockport) because they know they cannot compete no matter how hard they try.
When I first arrived at Smile312, my mouth was in complete disarray—I honestly didn’t even know where to begin. That all changed when I met Dr. Mohler. From our very first interaction, he established a sense of trust and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. He took the time... read more
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The care I receive is exceptional and the interest regarding my overall health is comforting and reassuring that I am being listened to not just regarding my dental health.
We were seen promptly. The receptionist was pleasant and efficient. Dr Mahler was exceedingly personable and thorough and explained everything in detail. The office was organized and clean with very modern equipment. All aspects of the visit were first rate
