What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, ceramic shells that are cemented over the front surfaces of your teeth to cover imperfections. They’re usually made from durable ceramic, such as porcelain, and can be crafted to match or enhance the size, shape, and color of your enamel, creating a flawless smile you can feel proud to show off.

These restorations can treat a single problem or several issues at once, such as chips, cracks, dental discoloration, mild gaps, and slight overcrowding, and can last 15+ years with proper care.

The Process of Getting Veneers

Almost anyone who is unhappy with one or more aspects of their appearance might benefit from this treatment, but you must consult one of our providers to ensure that you’re a good candidate before proceeding. For example, veneers require sufficiently healthy enamel and connective tissues to hold them in place, so we’ll need to treat any pre-existing concerns, such as cavities or gum disease.

Once your mouth is healthy enough, we prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel for the covers to fit correctly. Then, we’ll made digital impressions of your teeth that are then sent to a dental laboratory to begin crafting them. It can take a couple of weeks for them to arrive, so we’ll likely recommend placing temporary veneers to help shield your grin during the wait.

Once your permanent restorations are delivered, we’ll schedule a fitting and make any adjustments as needed before cementing them in place. Finally, we’ll remove any excess bonding material and polish the result to send you home with a smile that practically sparkles.

The Benefits of Veneers

There are several advantages to getting veneers, including:

  • Boost your confidence. Improving your appearance can boost your confidence so you look and feel like the most attractive, self-assured version of yourself.
  • These restorations are known to last a decade or longer with proper care, making them an excellent long-term cosmetic solution.
  • Customizable materials. They’re made from tooth-colored materials that can be made to match your natural enamel for seamless results.
  • Resist damage. They’re coated with a glaze strong enough to help them resist chips, cracks, and stains.
  • Help shield underlying teeth. They can also help protect the underlying teeth from dental discoloration or physical damage.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

Our Norwood office is in-network with Delta Dental and BlueCross BlueShield insurance, but unfortunately, many policies don’t cover the cost of cosmetic services that are meant to improve your looks more than your dental health, including veneers.

However, our compassionate providers believe that everyone deserves to build the healthiest, most beautiful version of their smiles, regardless of their current financial situation. That’s why we also gladly accept flexible payment plans through CareCredit. If your application is approved, you can choose a low- to no-interest option that lets you divide your total invoice into more manageable installments over a designated period, which can be easier on your budget.
