Smiling has important mood-boosting effects that impact how we feel. Just the simple act of smiling releases serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps improve mood and regulate emotions. But when someone is too ashamed to smile due to the state of their teeth, they lose out on these important psychological effects. Fortunately, porcelain veneers are a great way to improve the look of your smile! This cosmetic dental procedure focuses on enhancing your smile’s appearance while preserving the main structure of your natural teeth. However, the cost of veneers is a major concern for some patients, as cosmetic procedures typically aren’t covered by insurance.
At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we’re committed to providing affordable and comprehensive care to patients like you. If you want to smile more confidently on a budget, we’ll help you find an affordable solution that revitalizes your smile!
What Are Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that cover the imperfections of your teeth.
Because we make veneers custom fit to your smile, we can design the shape, size, and color of each veneer! With your help, we will create your ideal smile that fits over your natural teeth like a mask.
When teeth have minor imperfections that prevent you from smiling confidently, veneers are a great option. These imperfections include:
- Small misalignments
- Gaps and overlaps
- Cracks and chips
- Discoloration and staining
However, it’s important to note that your smile must be healthy to receive veneer treatment. Because these porcelain sheets need a strong foundation, we’ll need to assess your smile for any underlying issues. Problems like gum disease or tooth decay must be treated prior to starting the porcelain veneer process. Once your smile is healthy, we will move forward with designing your perfect smile!
With your veneers underway, we’ll begin the preparation process. This procedure involves gently scraping your stained or damaged enamel off, leaving just enough room for a thin sliver of porcelain to rest. After preparing your teeth, we’ll provide you with a temporary set of veneers to protect your smile. While wearing these veneers, you can request changes to the design, and we’ll reflect them in your final version.
Once your final veneers arrive, we’ll try them on and cement them in place to revitalize your smile!
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
The cost of dental veneers varies from person to person. Depending on your specific case, your veneers may have a totally different price tag than another person’s treatment. Factors that affect the cost of your veneers are:
- The material we use: Porcelain is a high-quality material that can withstand the regular wear and tear of life. Though other materials may be less expensive than porcelain veneers, none are as durable and long-lasting!
- The number of teeth we perfect: The number of teeth you want enhanced is a major factor in the price of your veneer treatment. The more veneers necessary, the more costly your treatment may be! In contrast, covering only one misshapen or stained tooth is much more affordable.
- The complexity of your case: The cost of your veneers also depends on how complex your issues are. Bigger imperfections that require more intensive work may be more expensive than a simpler case involving teeth whitening.
During your free consultation with us, we will assess your smile to determine your needs. With a treatment plan in place, we will discuss costs with you and any options available to help make your care more affordable.
