What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells that are attached to the front of your teeth. They make your teeth look natural and consistent for a look that you won’t want to hide. Veneers are a permanent attachment. They are custom-made for your teeth, so that they look completely normal inside your mouth. The intended effect is meant to improve your teeth’s appearance.
What Types of Cosmetic Dental Concerns Can Veneers Treat?
Dental veneers are designed to correct or hide certain problems, including:
- stained or discolored teeth
- chipped teeth
- crooked teeth
- gaps between teeth
- worn-down teeth
Quite often, people turn to dental veneers when other cosmetic procedures, such as whitening or braces, don’t do the job.
At 4th Street Dental Studio, we provide our patients with high-quality porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are strong, very thin, and can be color-matched to the exact shade you need to match the rest of your teeth.
How Do Veneers Work?
Before we apply the porcelain veneers, the dentist first gives your teeth a thorough exam to ensure you are a good candidate for this procedure. The exam will include a professional diagnosis and a treatment plan. We will always explain every aspect of your diagnosis and plan, so you can make an informed decision regarding your teeth.
When we’re ready to go ahead with the veneers, we need to prepare your teeth. This usually involves reshaping the teeth slightly, so the veneer will fit. We will also gently remove the enamel on the surface of your teeth. Then, an impression of your teeth will be created and sent to a dental lab where your new veneer will be fabricated. Temporary veneers will be applied while you wait for the permanent ones to be created.
Once the veneers are ready, the dentist will permanently bond them to your natural teeth , making sure it is in the exact position for the best appearance possible.
How Do You Care for Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are designed to be strong and durable. It is still important to take good care of them, so they will last many years. Reduce the risk of damaging your veneers by not biting down on very hard foods or objects. You should continue to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would, using a toothpaste that is non-abrasive. Dental veneers are designed to be stain-resistant, but you should still rinse or brush after drinking dark liquids, such as coffee, tea, or red wine.
Keep going to your dentist for regular exams and cleanings. This is important for the overall health of all your teeth, and your dentist can make sure the veneers are in good shape.
Cosmetic Veneers Cost
The cost of porcelain veneers can cost between $900 and $2,500, but that cost may vary depending on various factors. Most dental insurance policies do not cover cosmetic procedures, including veneers. Although this may seem like an expensive procedure, remember that porcelain veneers are designed to last 10-15 years, and sometimes they last even longer.
