What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are sometimes thought of as an “all in one” cosmetic treatment. They are thin shells, sometimes called sheaths, that we attach to the outward-facing surface of the teeth. Their job is to hide cosmetic imperfections, such as chips, cracks, discoloration, small gaps between the teeth, and more.
Veneers are custom-made for each patient, so they look incredibly natural. They are usually made of porcelain, a highly durable and stain-resistant material that has a long history of success in dental applications. With proper care, veneers have the potential to last for 15 – 20 years or longer.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The veneers process requires at least two appointments.
During the first appointment, we will prepare your teeth by removing a sliver of enamel from them. This step is important because it helps the veneers to adhere well to the teeth and supports a natural, non-bulky appearance. Then, we will take impressions of the teeth so we can design the veneers for your unique smile.
You will wear temporary veneers while a laboratory prepares your permanent ones. Once they are ready, we will verify that they live up to our expectations before we attach them to your teeth. Then, you can go off and start to enjoy your fabulous new look!
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers offer some remarkable benefits that can appeal to a broad range of patients:
- Natural, lifelike appearance: Veneers are carefully crafted to mimic the translucency and color of natural teeth, resulting in a realistic and attractive smile.
- Durability and longevity: Made from high-quality porcelain, veneers are designed to withstand daily wear and can last for up to 15 – 20 years with proper care.
- Stain resistance: Porcelain is non-porous, making it highly resistant to staining from common sources such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Your veneers should maintain their bright color for years.
- Versatility: Veneers can address a variety of issues, including chips, cracks, discoloration, minor gaps, and slight misalignment. They provide a comprehensive solution for almost any imperfection.
- Minimally invasive procedure: The placement of veneers generally requires only minor alteration of tooth enamel, preserving more of the natural tooth structure than some alternatives.
- Customization: If you wish to accomplish anything specific with your veneers, let us know. For example, you may want your teeth to be a certain color, size, or shape.
- Boost in confidence: The improved aesthetics provided by veneers can enhance self-esteem, encourage more frequent smiling, and possibly endow you with more youthful energy.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
The price of veneers depends on how many of them you get and other factors. Overall, they tend to be one of the higher-priced cosmetic dentistry options. However, they are also a great value because they can accomplish so much and last for so long! Even though insurance does not typically cover them, there might be other provisions you can use to make them more affordable.
