Porcelain veneers are a testament to how minimal intervention can completely transform your look. These dental facades are so simple. They’re just thin layers attached to the front of your teeth to change their appearance. Yet they do so much. At Simply Dentistry, our veneers are perfect for correcting issues like chipped teeth, discoloration, gaps, or misalignments. Short teeth, stained teeth, gaps between teeth—porcelain veneers are the answer.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are custom-designed to fit perfectly over the front of your teeth, offering a transformative solution for various dental imperfections. They are crafted to match the natural color and appearance of your untreated teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result. You can also opt to place these facades over an entire arch or your whole smile for a smile makeover. Long-lasting and resistant to stains, porcelain veneers are a popular choice for those looking to restore confidence in their smile with a minimally invasive procedure.
After a consultation to assess your dental health and discuss what you want out of our cosmetic dentistry services, we prepare your teeth for veneer application. First, Dr. Christina Chen gently removes a very thin layer of the tooth enamel to make space for the veneer. This is done under local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Impressions of your teeth are then taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted to fit snugly over each tooth. In the interim, we make sure you get temporary veneers to protect your teeth and your confidence.
Once your porcelain veneers are ready, it’s time for your fitting. Before permanently bonding the veneers, we temporarily place them to check their fit and appearance. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure the veneers perfectly match the shape and color you want. Finally, the veneers are bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive, which is then hardened with a curing light. This bonding process allows your dental veneers to function much like your natural teeth. After a final polish and adjustment, your smile transformation is complete, leaving you with a beautifully enhanced appearance.
Our patients at Simply Dentistry choose porcelain veneers for several compelling reasons:
Veneers dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile right away.
They require minimal tooth alteration, preserving the natural structure of your teeth while ensuring a comfortable fit.
The material used in porcelain veneers resists stains, maintaining a bright, white smile for longer periods.
With proper care, porcelain veneers are a long-lasting solution, enduring for many years.
Each veneer is tailored to match your natural teeth as well as your aesthetic goals.
Veneers effectively correct a wide range of dental issues for a more symmetrical finished look.
A beautiful smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem and impact your overall quality of life positively.
The price you pay depends on factors like many veneers you get and whether you need care beforehand. For instance, to make sure we attach veneers to healthy teeth and gums, we may need to treat underlying issues like cracked teeth or gum disease. You could be looking at $1,000 per tooth for the veneers themselves.
However, Simply Dentistry is partnered with CareCredit® to help you create flexible and affordable payment plans. We also have other finance and insurance assistance, so check with us about how to get porcelain veneers on your budget!
