What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers and Lumineers are very thin pieces of porcelain that we attach to the outward-facing surfaces of the teeth. Their job is to hide cosmetic imperfections. Veneers can be used to address issues like:
- Chips and cracks
- Small gaps between the teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Discoloration
- Minor misalignment
- And more
The size, shape, and color of veneers are all carefully designed to complement your unique facial features, as well as suit your personal preferences. Veneers are also very durable and resistant to stains; for many patients, they last 15 – 20 years or longer.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The process of getting veneers typically takes at least two appointments. During the first appointment, we must prepare your teeth. Typically, this involves removing a sliver of enamel (with Lumineers, little to no enamel removal is required). This step helps to ensure that the veneers will not look bulky or unnatural. Once your teeth are ready, we take impressions of them so we can design your veneers.
You will wear temporary veneers while a dental laboratory fabricates your permanent ones. Once they are sent back to our office, we will verify that they meet our expectations before we attach them to your teeth.
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers offer some noteworthy benefits:
- Stain resistance. Veneers are usually made of porcelain, a nonporous material. Since pigments slide right off it, you can expect your veneers to retain their original color for many years.
- Veneers are strong enough to withstand normal and reasonable eating habits.
- Easy maintenance. Taking good care of veneers is not complicated or time consuming. Thorough oral hygiene habits and regular dental visits are both important! (Be sure to use a minimally abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching your veneers.)
- Natural appearance. Dental porcelain is almost indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel; you will not have to worry about looking like you “have had some work done.”
- You may choose to get just one veneer or a full set of 6 – 8 veneers or more. You can also provide us with input on the shape, size, and color that you would like your veneers to have.
- With proper care, many people find that their veneers last for decades.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
The cost of veneers depends on a few factors, including how many of them you get and whether you need any preparatory procedures, such as teeth whitening, fillings, or gum disease treatment. During your consultation, we can provide a detailed cost estimate. Although veneers tend to have a higher price than other cosmetic treatments, they can be viewed as a smart use of funds due to their longevity.
