Porcelain veneers are thin, durable covers that are carefully bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Designed to mimic the look of natural enamel, they are ideal for repairing chipped, stained, or uneven teeth and for closing small gaps.
If you are looking to fully customize the appearance of your teeth, veneers may be the best option to achieve your perfect smile.
While there are many ways to improve the appearance of your smile, veneers offer the unique ability to completely transform your look with just one treatment. Whether you want a small fix or a full smile makeover, veneers provide a fast and lasting result.
Whiter, Brighter, and Longer Lasting
Veneers are color matched to your natural teeth or can be used to enhance your smile with a brighter shade. The results last significantly longer than regular whitening treatments.
Less Invasive than Crowns
Modern veneers often require very little preparation. In many cases, only a small amount of enamel is removed, making this a more conservative option compared to dental crowns.
Choosing veneers is about more than just changing your appearance. It is about restoring confidence in your smile and improving how you feel about yourself in everyday situations.
Think about the times you have held back from smiling in photos, hesitated to laugh, or felt self conscious at events or interviews. Veneers can help you feel comfortable and proud of your smile in moments like these:
We will work closely with you to design a smile that reflects your personality and makes you excited to show it off.
The first step is a consultation. We will talk with you about your goals, examine your oral health, and explore treatment options. If veneers are the right fit, we will guide you through the next steps to help you achieve the results you want.
We begin by listening to your goals and concerns. We will examine your teeth and gums to ensure that you have a healthy foundation. If other treatment is needed before your veneers, we will let you know.
Apply a cold compress to the area. You may be able to take the edge off your pain by taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (ex. Tylenol) or ibuprofen (ex. Advil). Always follow the advice of your doctor and read the instructions on the bottle when taking any medication. Make a note of what medication, how much and the time it was taken so you can let us know when you come in.
Time is of the essence, we may be able to restore your natural tooth! If a whole tooth has been knocked out –and is reasonably clean– quickly and gently reinsert the tooth into its socket. If you can’t because you’re unsure or it hurts then save the tooth in a cup of milk. Make sure to call us Immediately. A knocked-out tooth is more likely to be saved if treated within the hour.
Rinse your mouth with warm water to wash away smaller fragments. If you are bleeding, hold a piece of sterile gauze on the area until bleeding stops. You may use a cold compress to relieve some of the pain and swelling. Call us immediately. We will work quickly to relieve your pain, heal your injury, and restore your tooth.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
The cost of veneers varies based on the number of teeth involved and the complexity of your treatment. With dental insurance, the out of pocket cost per veneer is typically between $200 and $600. Without insurance, the average cost ranges from $800 to $1200 or more.
Each smile is unique, so we recommend a consultation to provide an accurate quote. If you have insurance, we are happy to provide a breakdown for you to submit to your provider.
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are strong, natural in appearance, and highly resistant to stains.
This depends on your smile goals. Some patients choose veneers for just a few visible teeth, while others opt for a full smile transformation.
Veneers are permanently bonded and designed to last. With good brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits, they can last between 10 and 15 years or more.
Care for veneers the same way you would care for natural teeth. Use a soft toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and rinse with mouthwash. Avoid sugary or acidic foods after brushing, especially at night. Keep up with regular cleanings every six months.
