Many people want a brighter smile, and veneers offer a reliable solution for those looking to enhance their dental aesthetics. As a veneer dentist, I understand that considering veneers goes beyond wanting a cosmetic makeover; it’s about improving your confidence and quality of life. There are many ways to enhance the look of your teeth, but their results can vary, and some may fade over time. Dental veneers can be a form of permanent teeth whitening and address other cosmetic issues, all while remaining affordable.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are more than just a “new coat of paint” for your teeth. These thin, custom-made shells attach to the front surface of your teeth and will cover any blemishes or imperfections. They are primarily made from natural-looking porcelain and are known for their durability and stain-resistant properties. These qualities make veneers an excellent choice for permanent teeth whitening. Unlike temporary whitening solutions that require regular touch-ups, veneers offer a long-term solution to discolored or stained teeth. Porcelain veneers can last 15 years or more if properly taken care of.
Besides giving you a brighter smile, veneers can correct chips, gaps, and misalignments, providing a comprehensive solution for several cosmetic issues. Their custom-made nature means that veneers can blend with your natural teeth, creating a more harmonious smile.
It’s important to note that to have veneers sit flush with the rest of your teeth, we must remove some tooth enamel. This removal makes veneers a non-reversible decision.
In addition to veneers, we also offer dental laminates, essentially thinner versions of veneers that require little to no enamel removal. However, dental laminates don’t share the same durability as veneers and may need to be replaced more frequently. If you’re looking for a permanent way to alter your smile, porcelain veneers are the way to go.
How Veneers Transform Your Teeth
Selecting the right veneer dentist is crucial for achieving the best results. The process starts with a detailed consultation, where Dr. Aristodemo will assess your dental health and discuss your cosmetic goals. This initial step is important for creating a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs and preferences.
The procedure for getting veneers involves preparing the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. This is necessary to ensure the veneers fit seamlessly and look natural. We will use a local anesthetic, and Dr. Aristodemo’s practiced hand makes this a painless process. After this, impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a lab, where they make your custom veneers. While this process occurs, we’ll attach temporary veneers to your teeth. Once ready, we’ll remove the temporary veneers and bond the custom veneers to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile.
How Much Does Permanent Teeth Whitening Cost?
One common concern about veneers is their cost. It’s important to view veneers as an investment in your self-esteem and oral health. While insurance doesn’t often cover veneers, the dental office team can assist you in understanding your insurance benefits. To help make this investment more manageable, we’ve partnered with multiple financing companies to offer payment plans that fit various budgets. Additionally, we offer an in-house discount plan, making necessary dental work more affordable.
