Veneers

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultrathin shells placed over your teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. Each custom-made shell is permanently affixed to a tooth, providing a stark cosmetic boost while remaining fully stable.

You can use dental veneers to:

  • Cover discoloration or wear
  • Fill gaps between teeth
  • Length teeth
  • Reduce a gummy smile
  • Reshape teeth
  • Enhance dental symmetry

Key Benefits of Dental Veneers

  • Dramatically restore a tooth
  • Lasts for years
  • Enhances without looking unnatural
  • Pain-free process
  • Boosts confidence in your smile

How to Get Dental Veneers

  • Consultation: First, we conduct a full exam of your teeth. Based on your goals, oral health needs, and budget, we can build a personalized plan for your veneers.
  • Preparation: We will need to first address any tooth decay. Then, we can remove a thin layer of the tooth, which will allow the veneer to fit smoothly.
  • Impressions: We take 3D impressions of the tooth. These renderings are sent to the lab, where our dental technician partners custom-make each veneer.
  • Fitting: After about 2 weeks (depending on how many veneers), you can come in for your fitting. We carefully place each veneer, ensuring you have the look you want before we affix them to your teeth.

Dental Bonding Vs Veneers

When it comes to dental bonding, they do have a better affordability factor. Along with a quick application compared to other cosmetic dental procedures.  Yet, the color matching can’t match that of veneers. Dental bonding too doesn’t have the lasting durability that veneers do. Dental bonding can last several years, veneers decades with proper care and maintenance.

How much do dental veneers cost?

The cost of veneers can vary quite a lot between patients. Each patient receives a personalized quote that factors in the material, size, placement, and other treatment elements. This quote comes with no commitment required, and we provide transparent overviews of each cost factor.

Are dental veneers right for me?

Veneers are ideal for a range of patient concerns, providing a transformative experience that they love. We still take the time to fully consult about your options and provide alternatives when suitable. For example, dental bonding offers a more affordable alternative. Additionally, teeth whitening can prove suitable for patients who want to address only light stains.

FAQ

Getting veneers will usually entail 2 to 3 visits with about 2 weeks between visits. This may mean waiting a bit, but the long-term benefits are well worth taking the time for a proper process. For patients who prefer a same-day solution, we offer options like teeth whitening and dental bonding.
No part of your dental veneer treatment should be painful. However, some sensitivity to temperature is normal at some stages. This is temporary and should resolve once your permanent veneers are placed. The veneers sit firmly over the tooth, so there should be no shifting or discomfort.

Veneers can last a very long time, with most patients getting about 15 years out of a set. With good care, many patients see their veneers last for 20+ years. You will want to ensure you receive quality veneers from an established practice, as low-quality materials may not last as long. Also, keeping up good at-home dental hygiene will help your veneers last for as long as possible.

If your veneers begin to wear down or become damaged, you can absolutely replace them. Your cosmetic dentist will remove the old veneers and order you a new set. The process closely resembles the first time you had veneers.

You can! However, just like with your natural front teeth, you will want to avoid biting down on anything hard. Excessive hard foods can eventually wear down your new smile. Otherwise, you can chew just as you would with your teeth before veneers.

Your veneers should quickly feel like a natural part of your smile. At first, the treated tooth may feel a little extra sensitive to temperatures. Additionally, if you changed your tooth size, you may need a few days to adjust to the difference in your smile. However, you should quickly adapt, and eventually they will feel like normal teeth. No bulkiness, no changes to speech, and no difficulty chewing. Only a bright smile!
Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover veneers since they count as a cosmetic treatment. However, financing options may be available to offer flexible payment plans
