Common Questions About Dental Veneers
How are dental veneers applied?
Depending on your situation, your dentist may need to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to make room for your veneers. We'll take impressions and have your new veneers crafted to exact specifications. When they come in, you'll return to our office where our team will cement the veneers into place.
Do dental veneers look natural?
Your dentist will ensure your veneers look completely lifelike so that others will never guess you've had work done. In the skilled hands of your dentist, veneers will complement your smile and give you a beautiful but natural new look. You can count on our team for the best in veneers care.
Does dental insurance cover veneers?
In general, dental insurance will not cover the cost of veneers if they are placed strictly for cosmetic purposes. If a veneer is needed to strengthen a damaged tooth and prevent further damage, your insurance may cover a portion of your veneers treatment.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Getting veneers shouldn't hurt. Our team will make sure that your veneers treatment is comfortable. Your dentist may need to remove a small amount of tooth enamel to place your veneers, but the process will not cause you any pain. We can use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort, plus sedation is available if you're nervous about your veneers treatment.
How long do dental veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 years or longer with proper care. Composite veneers have a shorter lifespan, usually five to seven years, but can be repaired or replaced more easily. Brushing and flossing daily, avoiding habits like nail biting or chewing ice, and attending regular dental exams all help extend the life of your veneers.
What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are stronger and more resistant to chips and staining. They are also slightly translucent like natural tooth enamel, so they have a very lifelike appearance. Composite veneers are applied in a single visit, cost less, and can be repaired easily if damaged. Porcelain offers greater durability, while composite offers speed and a lower upfront cost.
How do I care for dental veneers after placement?
Caring for veneers requires no special maintenance beyond your normal oral hygiene routine. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and attending regular dental cleanings are all it takes to keep them in good shape. Avoiding habits like chewing on hard objects, biting your nails, or using your teeth to open packaging helps protect your veneers from unnecessary damage.
Can dental veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can improve the appearance of mildly crooked or uneven teeth by covering them with a more uniform shape. However, they do not physically move your teeth the way orthodontic treatment does. For more significant misalignment, orthodontics may be a better starting point. In some cases, combining orthodontics with veneers produces the most complete result.
