What are dental veneers?
Veneers are porcelain facings that are placed on top of somebody's teeth to correct shape, color, size, and positioning.
What is the difference between a dental veneer and a dental crown?
The difference between a dental veneer and a dental crown is that the veneer covers the tooth partially, about 3/4 of the tooth, versus a crown, which covers the whole tooth.
What is the process for getting veneers?
- The patient is brought in and then anesthetized, and the teeth that will have the veneers are roughened off, basically removing about a millimeter of the surface.
- An impression is taken, and then temporary veneers are placed for about two weeks.
- The patient comes back, and the final veneers are cemented in.
Will my dental veneers match the color of my teeth?
The veneers will match the color of your teeth, along with the cement that is used.
What is the difference between a porcelain veneer and a composite veneer?
A porcelain veneer is done by a lab versus a composite veneer, which is done in the office by the dentist using composite resin material.
How do you take care of dental veneers?
You need to take care of your dental veneers as you would your normal teeth. You need to be careful. If somebody plays sports, they need to wear a sports guard to prevent any physical force or impact on those veneers.
How much do dental veneers cost?
Veneers have a price range from office to office. It depends on the number of veneers and also where they're done and where the doctor is located.
Do you have financing options for veneers?
Absolutely. We have different financing options for patients at Premier Smiles to provide them with the ability to get their veneers done.
Does insurance cover dental veneers?
Normally, insurance companies do not cover veneers because they consider them to be a cosmetic treatment, which is basically an alternative treatment that insurance doesn't cover.
