WHAT ARE VENEERS?
Veneers may also be called porcelain veneers or dental veneers. They are manufactured by many different brands and dental laboratories, but they all accomplish the same purpose. Veneers are thin pieces of dental-grade ceramic or porcelain that we attach to the outward-facing surfaces of teeth. They thereby disguise the teeth’s cosmetic imperfections.
Some of the issues that veneers are often able to correct include:
- Discoloration
- Chips and cracks
- Small gaps between the teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Teeth that look unusually short or stubby
HOW DO VENEERS WORK?
The veneers treatment process typically requires at least two appointments. During the initial appointment, we prepare the teeth by removing a bit of enamel from them. This step is necessary so the veneers do not make your smile look bulky or unnatural. Once your teeth are prepared, we take detailed impressions of them. Your dentist will then design your veneers to complement your unique smile, always keeping your personal preferences in mind.
Temporary veneers help to protect the teeth following your preparation appointment, while a laboratory creates your permanent ones. When your permanent veneers are ready, you will return to our dental office for your attachment appointment. After we double-check that your veneers are up to our expectations, we will cement them onto your teeth.
BENEFITS OF VENEERS
Veneers offer some outstanding benefits:
- Dental porcelain is exceptionally durable and has the potential to last for 10 years or longer.
- Veneers are nonporous, which means they do not stain like regular tooth enamel.
- Well-made veneers are virtually identical to natural teeth. The porcelain even reflects light in a manner that is similar to real tooth enamel.
- We always customize the treatment to meet our patients’ goals and expectations.
- You can choose to disguise just one tooth with a veneer, or you can opt for a comprehensive smile transformation.
ARE VENEERS RIGHT FOR YOU?
When you visit us for your consultation, your dentist will examine your mouth and get to know you before they recommend a cosmetic treatment option. Veneers may be ideal for you if your teeth and gums are healthy, and you are looking to permanently get rid of aesthetic imperfections in your smile.
On the other hand, if you are dealing with some dental health issues, you may need restorative care before you move ahead with any cosmetic procedures. Also, if you are not ready to make a permanent commitment to veneers, you might opt for dental bonding instead. Bonding offers similar initial results as veneers, but it is reversible, less durable, and can last anywhere from 4 – 8 years.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Veneers in Lebanon are fairly priced, but they can still cost a significant amount of money! Their price comes from the fact that they are created with only the highest quality materials, and it takes a significant amount of time for your dentist to design them in a way that is the perfect complement for your smile. You can think of them as an investment in your confidence! Of course, there are other, lower-priced cosmetic options that might also help you reach your goals.
Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What Is Right for Me?
Veneers are just one of many cosmetic services that are available to patients. Depending on your budget and goals for treatment, you might choose to undergo:
- Dental bonding. This costs less than veneers and looks similar at first. However, it is less durable and more vulnerable to stains.
- Orthodontic treatment. Braces and clear aligners are often the best option for straightening teeth. However, they do cost quite a bit of money — usually at least a few thousand dollars. Unlike veneers, they do not address chipped teeth or coloration problems. They also come with a lengthy treatment timeline.
- Teeth whitening. Professional teeth whitening is a fast and low-cost way to brighten your smile. However, it only affects the color of teeth, not their size or shape. Its results are also temporary and require careful maintenance.
- Veneers are kind of an “all in one” treatment for correcting most aesthetic imperfections (other than significant misalignment). They also typically last at least 10 years. They are a great value for most patients! Plus, you can customize the treatment to your preferences. You can purchase just one or two veneers to slightly alter your look, or you can go big and purchase a full set for a total transformation.
Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons of all your cosmetic treatment options. We want you to commit to your new smile with confidence that you are making the best decision for both your goals and budget.
How to Make Veneers Affordable
As your cosmetic dentist in Lebanon, we want to help you afford your new look. We charge reasonable fees, and we offer a few provisions that might help you find room in your budget for veneers:
- Most patients qualify for CareCredit, a third-party lender that offers low-interest and no-interest payment plans for dental and medical services. Once your application is approved, you may be able to choose a plan that best fits your circumstances.
- Essential Dental Regular insurance does not cover veneers. Fortunately, we belong to the Essential Dental network. This is a dental discount plan that reduces the cost of virtually all of our services. It can help you save 15% off the cost of veneers in Lebanon.
- FREE consultation. If you are coming to us as a new patient, we will provide you with a free consultation or second opinion (new patients only).
