What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells made from porcelain or another ceramic material, and they are designed to mimic the color, luster, and texture of natural enamel. These devices can be cemented over troubled teeth to conceal a wide range of issues such as stains, cracks, gaps, chips, and misshapenness, and they can last for fifteen years or more if they receive excellent care. Veneers are also resistant to stains, and they are strong enough to withstand the pressure of normal chewing.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The process of receiving veneers always begins with a consultation at our Falmouth office so one of our dentists can make sure you can receive the treatment effectively and safely. If you have gum disease or tooth decay, these issues will have to be addressed with appropriate restorative treatments before you can receive veneers. When you are cleared for the treatment, you’ll come to our office so we can prepare your teeth and place your appliances. We’ll start by administering an appropriate anesthetic and removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth being treated. After this, we will take detailed measurements of your smile and use this data to craft lifelike restorations for you. When these are ready, we’ll cement them in place, make any final adjustments, and send you on your way to greet the world with your gorgeous new grin.
The Benefits of Veneers
Veneers offer a range of benefits that make them a superior cosmetic dental option for many patients. These include:
- The versatility to address many severe dental stains with a single treatment.
- Stain-resistant materials help ensure the appliances stay beautiful for as long as possible.
- Results can last fifteen years or more with excellent care.
- Each device is carefully customized to ensure a comfortable fit and a beautiful smile.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Veneers are usually classified as an elective cosmetic procedure, so they don’t typically receive any insurance coverage. However, your policy may pay for part of the treatment if it is used to repair a tooth damaged by injury or decay. We also offer flexible financing options from CareCredit, a trusted third-party financier that can break your bill into easy monthly installments.
