Dental Veneers
Dental veneers provide an excellent solution if you are looking to enhance your smile. They are a popular cosmetic treatment because of their overall effectiveness and ease of use.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are great if you’re experiencing crowding problems, chipped teeth, worn down teeth or have areas of stained teeth. Veneers are thin shells that are placed on the front surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance—they will hide any noticeable flaws and help the teeth appear straight and even.
The shade of veneers can be adjusted to your tooth color and they are applied with minimal discomfort. Dental veneers are strong and durable and will last for many years before they require replacement or repairs.
Every set of dental veneers is custom-designed based on your needs—so you get the results you want. This means we will make two appointments with you, the first to take impressions of your teeth and the second to apply and adjust the veneers to your teeth.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are incredibly thin shells that are applied on the front surfaces of a person’s teeth. Depending on the style of veneers, the teeth may be prepped first by removing a small amount of enamel. Once installed, the veneers can cover noticeable flaws to make adjustments to alignment. They can also adjust the thickness of them to improve spacing.
They are very easy to apply, requiring preparation of the teeth and then securing in place with a strong dental adhesive.

How long do veneers last?
The lifetime of your veneers depends on a couple of factors – the material they’re made out of and how well they are taken care of. Porcelain veneers typically last 10-20 years while composite veneers last 5-10 years. However, if exceptional care is taken, including brushing, flossing, and maintaining regular checkups, the lifetime can be extended even longer.

What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two main types of dental veneers, composite veneers and porcelain veneers. Composite veneers are manufactured at your dentist office and applied directly to the teeth. Porcelain veneers are made in a laboratory to ensure they fit your teeth and then applied to the tooth’s surface.

What do dental veneers cost?
Veneers typically are not covered by insurance since they are considered a cosmetic procedure. However, costs can range depending on your dentist. As an average, traditional dental veneers range from $925 to $2,500 per tooth and no-prep dental veneers cost around $800 to $2000 per tooth.
