What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin shells that are usually made from durable ceramic or resin that can be crafted to match or improve the size, shape, and tone of your natural teeth. Then, they’re cemented over the fronts of your enamel to mask aesthetic concerns in your grin, such as chips, cracks, stubborn stains, or mild gaps, overcrowding, or other misalignments.

Although the covers are typically only about 0.2 to 0.5 mm thick, they are coated in a glaze that helps them resist damage and discoloration and can therefore also help shield the underlying teeth. With proper care, these restorations can last 10 to 20+ years.

The Process of Getting Veneers

You must consult Dr. Welter before proceeding so that he can discuss your individual goals and concerns, then examine your mouth to determine whether you’re a good candidate for this service. If so, our team will begin by preparing your teeth for the prosthetics to fit correctly without looking bulky or causing a misalignment. This involves removing a small amount of enamel, which doesn’t grow back, so veneers or other restorations are required moving forward.  

Then, our team will take accurate, mess-free digital impressions of your mouth, which we'll send to a dental laboratory to begin crafting your one-of-a-kind veneers. Once they are delivered, we will schedule a fitting to ensure everything functions as intended and make any necessary adjustments before cementing them in place.

Finally, we’ll remove any excess bonding material and polish your beautifully enhanced smile to a shine before sending you home with routine care and maintenance instructions.

The Benefits of Veneers

Veneers provide several incredible advantages, such as:

  • These shells can address one or several aesthetic concerns with a single treatment.
  • Resist damage. The ceramic they are made from can last decades with proper care and helps prevent chips, cracks, and discoloration.
  • Lifelike results. They are customized to match your natural enamel to blend in seamlessly with your smile.
  • Boost confidence. Upgrading your appearance helps you look and feel like the most self-assured version of yourself, which can improve your daily quality of life.
  • Long-lasting results. They can last a decade or two with proper care.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

This is considered a cosmetic treatment that is meant to improve your looks more than your dental health, so many insurance plans don’t cover the cost. As a result, many patients wonder whether they can afford veneers.

But Dr. Welter believes all patients deserve a flawless smile they can feel proud to show off, regardless of their current financial situation. That’s why our office offers the following options to help make services more affordable:

  • In-house membership plan. For a flat fee, you receive annual checkups and cleanings, as well as discounts on other procedures we offer, including cosmetics.
  • Flexible financing. We also gladly welcome flexible payment plans through Cherry, which lets you divide your total invoice into more manageable installments if your application is approved.
