What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are small, thin sheaths of porcelain or ceramic that are used to hide cosmetic flaws found on the surfaces of teeth. Whether it is chips, cracks, stains, or minor gaps, these restorations are custom-made to transform appearances.
Used for decades to change the way a smile looks, Hollywood’s elite first used them in film. Although removable and bulkier than those made today, they were deemed only attainable by the rich and famous. Over the years, though, advancements in dentistry led to a thinner restoration that is more attractive and attainable.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The veneer process requires several steps. After meeting with a member of our team to discuss your eligibility, we will begin by discussing the desired shade of your new teeth. Using a shade guide, we will make notes about the chosen color so that the information can be sent to lab technicians.
We will then remove a small portion of tooth enamel from each tooth so that a bonding agent can properly adhere once the veneer is ready to be put in place.
We will take impressions of your smile so that lab technicians can begin to fabricate your new teeth, and we’ll fit you with temporary veneers that you will need to wear in the meantime.
Once your finalized veneers are ready, you will return to our office to have your temporary veneers removed and your permanent ones carefully put into place. A final polish will allow you to walk away with a beautiful smile.
The Benefits of Veneers
Many great benefits come with choosing veneers to hide your cosmetic imperfections. Many patients are worried that others will notice; however, the materials used today are far more natural in appearance, leaving you to feel more comfortable about your new and improved smile.
Some of the benefits you can expect include:
- Restorations that look and feel natural
- Enhanced appearance that allows you to look and feel younger
- Stain-resistant veneers
- Teeth that are known to last up to a decade or more
- A simple process that requires only two appointments
- Great stability and durability that can withstand daily wear and tear
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
The cost of veneers is different for each person. There are countless factors that our team at Grand Dental – Sycamore must consider before formulating an estimate. This is why it is necessary to have a consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists. While veneers might be the kind of treatment you prefer, you may find other options can accomplish the same result. Talking this over with our team and determining your budget is what you can expect when it comes to your appointment. If a full transformation is what you’re looking for, we can help you achieve it with veneers.
Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?
There are many cosmetic options available at Grand Dental – Sycamore. Below, you will find a list of those that you can choose from when looking to change the appearance of your smile:
- Veneers: Capable of transforming the size, shape, and shade of teeth, veneers are custom-made to cover imperfections and can last 10+ years. Although more expensive because of their permanency and longevity, they do produce beautiful results.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations: As decay and damage can plague smiles, so can stains and small chips. If metal-free dental restoration is what you desire, investing in one or two might be feasible, but more than that will cause your bill to increase significantly.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: As a reversible form of cosmetic treatment, the use of composite resin, which is matched to your natural tooth enamel shade, allows for a less expensive and faster form of treatment that can last several years.
- Teeth Whitening: Using take-home whitening kits that allow for greater convenience and longer-lasting results, teeth whitening from our office may be more expensive than store-bought varieties, but the brightness of your teeth will prove that it is worth the investment.
- Gum Recontouring: Permanent in its ability to remove excess gum tissue that will not grow back, gum recontouring is a costlier procedure; however, in the long run, you never have to worry about needing it again.
How to Make Veneers Affordable
If you are planning to use your dental insurance to pay for your veneers, you’ll be disappointed to learn that most companies do not provide coverage for this type of treatment. As a non-medical solution, it is not something you can expect your insurer to pay for.
However, at Grand Dental – Sycamore, we offer an in-house membership plan that makes it easy to enroll. By paying a low fee each year, you can receive valuable discounts on various services offered by our dental team.
There is also the option of enrolling in a low-interest or zero-interest payment plan through CareCredit, which promises no surprise fees and allows you to pay off your treatment over time.
