What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells that fit over the front of your tooth to change its appearance. One of the best things about dental veneers is that if you’re dealing with more than one aesthetic dental problem, veneers offer a single solution. There’s no need to undergo multiple treatments. Since veneers simply cover up your teeth, they can conceal multiple issues. 

The material used for dental veneers imitates natural tooth enamel, and we can shape your veneers to meet your exact standards for size, shape, and color. We know your smile’s uniqueness is essential; no one wants to feel as though they have a cookie-cutter look. There’s no need to worry, though—veneers are completely customizable. We’ll prepare your teeth for the veneers, making room so that they will blend in, look natural, and function comfortably.

Who Qualifies for Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are an incredibly versatile cosmetic treatment that can address multiple imperfections in your smile. Good candidates for veneers include those with:

  • Stained, discolored, or yellowed teeth
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Unwanted gaps or spacing issues
  • Slightly crooked or misshapen teeth
  • Worn down or irregular tooth edges

To qualify for veneers, you should be in good oral health overall with adequate existing tooth enamel. Those with significant tooth decay, active gum disease, teeth grinding habits, or inadequate enamel may require alternative treatments first.

During your veneer consultation, Dr. Webley will thoroughly examine your teeth and listen to your goals to determine if veneers are right for you. He will also discuss which type of veneer would achieve your desired look while suiting your lifestyle needs.

Types of Dental Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers, also known as traditional veneers, are the premium veneer selection for durable, natural-looking results. These tooth-colored shells offer:

  • Exceptional strength and longevity
  • Realistic light-reflecting properties
  • Stain and discoloration resistance
  • Minimally invasive enamel preparation 

The porcelain veneer process begins with smile design planning. Precision measurements ensure your veneers achieve your desired tooth shape, size, and shade. Dr. Webley will then send your impressions to a dental lab for custom fabrication of your individualized veneers. Once completed, he’ll begin the veneer placement by securely bonding your custom-made veneers to your teeth for a flawless finish.

No-Prep Porcelain Veneers

In some cases, Dr. Webley can provide no-prep porcelain veneers, which don’t require enamel removal. The placement process is similar to traditional porcelain veneers while preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Componeers

For a budget-friendly veneer option, our Everett dental practice provides componeers. Componeers made from composite resin offer an economical smile enhancement. While not as durable as porcelain, componeers provide satisfying cosmetic improvements at a lower price point.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Veneers are known for immediate smile transformations and can be used for those who are suffering from dental issues such as:

  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Uneven or undersized teeth
  • Spaces or gaps between teeth
  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Teeth lacking enamel 

The Cost of Dental Veneerscosts of dental treatments

The price of dental veneers varies based on the type of veneers, the number of teeth being treated, and other factors. In general, you can expect the following cost range:

  • Traditional Porcelain Veneers: $1,000 – $2,500 per tooth
  • No-Prep Porcelain Veneers: $800 – $2,000 per tooth
  • Composite Componeers: $500 – $1,300 per tooth

Porcelain veneers are considered the premium option, so they are the most expensive. However, they offer the most natural-looking and longest-lasting results. No-prep porcelain veneers are slightly more affordable since less enamel preparation is required. Composite componeers provide a cost-effective alternative for those on a tighter budget.

  • CareCredit: CareCredit works like a credit card but is exclusively for healthcare expenses. With CareCredit, you can pay for your veneers through low monthly payment plans with promotional financing options. 
  • Proceed Finance: Proceed Finance provides loans for cosmetic treatments like veneers. This third-party financing company offers quick approval with straightforward terms.

We believe everyone deserves to have their dream smile, regardless of their budget. In addition to CareCredit and Proceed Finance, our team will work with you to identify the most affordable veneer solution based on your needs and finances.

If you have any other questions about veneer costs or financing, our knowledgeable staff is here to help. The first step is scheduling a consultation to get a personalized quote and explore your options for the perfect smile.

Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers

If you can’t qualify for our veneers or if the cost is out of your budget despite our financing options, there are alternative options, such as:

  • Composite Veneers: Composite veneers are made from tooth-colored composite resin and can be applied directly to the tooth surface in a single visit. While they are more affordable than porcelain veneers, they may not offer the same durability or aesthetic results.
  • Dental Bonding: Dental bonding involves applying composite resin to the tooth surface to repair chips, cracks, or discoloration. While bonding is a more conservative option than veneers, the results may not be as long-lasting or natural-looking.
  • Orthodontic Treatments: For individuals with more significant alignment issues, orthodontic treatments such as braces or clear aligners may be recommended to achieve straighter teeth and improve overall smile aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last between seven and 15 years with proper care and maintenance. Componeers can last between three and eight years before needing replacement. To ensure you can get the most out of your dental veneers, your dentist recommended doing the following:

  • Brush your teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush twice a day
  • Gently floss your teeth daily (preferably before bed)
  • Rinse in between meals
  • Visit your dentist twice a year for professional cleanings and checkups

What toothpaste is best for dental veneers?

There are three kinds of toothpaste recommended for your veneers:

  • Gel toothpaste is gentle and non-abrasive. They don’t contain harsh abrasive ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. 
  • Fluoride toothpaste is highly recommended. While veneers are immune to disease, your natural teeth aren’t. Fluoride toothpaste keeps your teeth strong and healthy, prolonging the lifespan of your veneers.
  • Non-whitening toothpaste will help keep your restoration shining and free from scratches, staining agents, food particles, and debris. Whitening toothpaste has harsh ingredients, which can damage your veneers and make them lose their shine.
