What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a type of dental veneer composed of a thin layer of durable ceramic. These custom-made shells are attached to the front surface of your existing teeth to conceal unwanted dental concerns and create an overall more uniform smile. The porcelain material is color-matched to your surrounding teeth and carefully shaped to ensure the most natural-looking results.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Treat?
Porcelain veneers can be highly beneficial for patients with varying cosmetic dental needs. Common concerns that can be treated with veneers include:
- Tooth chips or cracks
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild misalignment
- Stains or discoloration
- Uneven or short teeth
During your appointment, our experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Argina Kudaverdian, will determine if porcelain veneers are the most appropriate option for your dental needs. In some cases, an alternative like porcelain crowns or teeth whitening may be recommended.
What Does the Porcelain Veneers Process Involve?
The porcelain veneer treatment process can typically be completed in two to three dental appointments. During your first appointment, impressions are taken of your teeth to create a wax-up of the final veneers, after having a discussion of what your needs and expectations are. Once the wax-up design is tried on and approved, we go ahead and prepare the teeth at the next appointment and take a final impression to send to the lab. The lab creates a custom set of veneers that match your natural shape and color of your existing teeth. The preparation appointment involves removing a thin layer of your enamel to create space for the new veneers. Once this is complete, your porcelain veneers can be securely attached or bonded to your teeth in the final appointment. With proper care, you can expect your veneers to last for many years.
“ I love this place! Super friendly staff, very clean nice environment, and huge parking lot for easy access. I really enjoy visiting for my check ups because they leave my teeth feeling super clean! Everyone here always makes me feel comfortable and welcome during my stay by offering water, putting on Netflix, and just chatting. I also recently just got veneers here and I'm so in love! Dr. Argina listened to exactly what I wanted and took her time making sure everything was absolutely perfect during my visits. I asked for a natural look, very subtle and that's what I got! Even the color match was perfect. I noticed the enhancement in my face and I couldn't be happier. This is one of those dentist offices you go to once and keep going for years.”
How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?
A single porcelain veneer can cost anywhere from $900 to $3,000, depending on several factors. The details of your treatment plan — such as the veneer material and how many veneers you are receiving — as well as the expertise of your dentist and geographic area of their practice can all influence how much you can expect to pay. The best way to learn how much your veneer treatment will cost is to schedule a consultation with an experienced dentist.
