What are Dental Veneers?
- The Basics: Veneers are ultra-thin, durable shells made of tooth-colored porcelain. They bond permanently to the front surface of your teeth, creating a beautiful new smile.
- What They Can Fix: Veneers are incredibly versatile, addressing a wide range of cosmetic concerns:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Deep stains that don’t respond to whitening
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor misalignments
- Unevenly shaped teeth
The Veneer Process
Consultation:Â It all starts with a discussion of your smile goals and a thorough dental evaluation to ensure veneers are right for you.
Tooth Preparation: Dr. Rose will minimally reshape the surface of your tooth to prepare it for the veneer.
Impressions:Â Precise impressions (molds) of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted.
Temporary Veneers:Â You may receive temporary veneers to wear while your permanent ones are being made.
Final Bonding: At your next appointment, your dentist will check the fit and color of your veneers, then bond them securely to your teeth.
Veneers are considered a cosmetic dental procedure and are not typically covered by most insurance policies. As you shop for your veneers, remember that factors affecting the price include:
- The dentist’s expertise
- Materials used
- Number of teeth being treated
Is a Smile Makeover with Veneers Right For You? With proper care, veneers can last for many years. Be sure to maintain excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
