What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of porcelain that are custom designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are bonded to the teeth to improve their appearance by correcting issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignments. Veneers are a cosmetic dental solution that provide a natural look and feel, enhancing the overall smile. They are tailored to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
What are veneers used for?
Veneers are used to improve the appearance of teeth with various cosmetic imperfections. They effectively cover stains and discoloration that teeth whitening cannot address, repair chipped or cracked teeth, and close small gaps between teeth. Veneers can also be used to change the size, shape, or length of teeth, creating a more uniform and symmetrical smile. They are a versatile solution for enhancing the overall aesthetics of the teeth while maintaining a natural look.
How long do veneers last?
Dental veneers typically last between 15 to 20 years, depending on the material used, oral hygiene, and habits such as teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects. Porcelain veneers tend to last longer than composite veneers due to their durability and resistance to staining. Proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and avoiding excessive pressure on the teeth, can help extend the lifespan of veneers, ensuring they remain intact and maintain their aesthetic appeal for many years.
How much do veneers cost?
The cost of veneers varies depending on factors like the materials used and the number of veneers needed. Although veneers can be expensive, many patients consider them a worthwhile investment for their ability to provide a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing improvement to their smile. While veneers are not always covered by insurance, our office accepts CareCredit™ and Alphaeon Credit, which can help make porcelain veneers more budget-friendly.
