What Are Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin shells that are usually made from durable ceramic, such as porcelain, or tooth-colored composite resin. They are customized to resemble or enhance your natural enamel, then are cemented over the fronts of your teeth to hide dental flaws.
This treatment can be a versatile way to address one or several issues that can detract from your appearance, including mild overcrowding, slight gaps, stubborn stains that don’t respond to teeth whitening, and chips or cracks. Not only that, but these restorations resist damage and discoloration and can help shield the underlying teeth from harm.
The Process of Getting Veneers
You’ll need to consult one of our providers to ensure your mouth is healthy enough for this treatment to be successful. For example, you must have healthy enamel and gum tissues to hold veneers in place, so if we’ll need to address any pre-existing issues that might affect the outcome, such as cavities or periodontal disease.
Once we determine you’re a good candidate to proceed, we’ll need to thin the affected teeth slightly so the covers fit and function correctly. This involves removing a small amount of enamel, but we’ll numb your mouth and/or offer sedation before getting started so you feel calm and comfortable the entire time.
Next, we’ll make mess-free digital impressions of your mouth that are sent to a special dental laboratory to begin crafting your one-of-a-kind restorations. It can take a week or two for them to arrive, so our team will likely place temporary veneers to protect your teeth during the wait.
When finished products are delivered, we’ll schedule you for a fitting and make any adjustments as needed before cementing them in place, removing excess bonding material, and polishing them to a shine for a beautifully enhanced smile.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Although dental insurance can often help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for different treatments, many plans don’t cover cosmetic procedures meant to improve your looks more than your oral health, including veneers. But your policy might include aspects of your visit, such as your examination or imaging, so it’s worth verifying your details.
But we understand not all patients carry insurance and don’t want your current financial situation to hold you back from building the perfectly flawless smile you’ve always dreamed of. That’s why we also offer flexible payment plans through CareCredit. If your application is approved, these low- to no-interest options allow you to divide your total invoice into more manageable installments paid over a designated period, which can be easier on your budget.
