Understanding Dental Veneers

If you desire a dramatically improved smile and want a long-lasting solution, veneers could be an excellent choice. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that transform your teeth’s appearance, giving you a stunning smile that boosts your confidence. The best way to find out if veneers are right for you is to schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your individual needs and create a personalized plan for your dazzling new smile!

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: 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: Precise impressions (molds) of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted.

Temporary Veneers: 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.
