What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment that utilizes high-quality materials (like porcelain). When crafted into thin shells, they can be bonded directly to the front-facing surface of your teeth, concealing a wide range of dental imperfections in the process. This smile-enhancing treatment is incredibly versatile due to its ability to correct everything from minor misalignment to permanent stains. However, it’s also capable of addressing one flawed tooth or completely transforming your entire smile!

The Process of Getting Veneers

The first step of the process is your consultation. At this appointment, one of our talented Fort Worth cosmetic dentists will examine your mouth and facial structure to design your one-of-a-kind porcelain veneers. We will then remove a small amount of enamel from each tooth that will receive a veneer, and we’ll take an impression to send to the dental lab. Before you leave the dental office, we'll provide you with temporary veneers.

A skilled ceramist will hand-make your veneers from fine dental porcelain that reflects light like natural tooth enamel. When your custom veneers are completed, we will remove your temporaries and bond your permanent veneers in place, giving you a gorgeous new smile.

The Benefits of Veneers

Designed to completely cover flaws like chips, discoloration, or misalignment, veneers alter the appearance of teeth. Natural-looking and long-lasting, your custom veneers will rejuvenate your smile, increasing your confidence and enhancing your social and professional interactions, all in as few as three visits. Plus, you won’t have to worry about any complicated dental care regimens to keep your veneers in pristine condition; the stain-resistant porcelain even allows you to continue drinking coffee without worrying about stubborn stains resurfacing!

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned, or otherwise imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, we may suggest one-appointment bonding. Our dentist can apply liquid composite resin, shaded to blend with your tooth's color, to rebuild a pleasing shape to your tooth. After hardening the resin with a curing light, he will artistically sculpt and polish the restoration. In just one visit, you can enjoy a beautiful new smile! Cosmetic bonding can be a viable, affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, but it lasts only 5 to 10 years with proper care. Bonding will not discolor as your natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up teeth whitening may be required to keep your natural teeth the same shade as the bonded area.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

Veneers are an excellent way to transform the appearance of your smile! However, when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, you get what you pay for. It’s crucial that you invest in quality veneers if you want the beautiful results you’re looking for. We will discuss the exact cost of your treatment during your consultation with us. Until then, here are some things to take into consideration.

Cost VS Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?

Veneers are great! However, there are many different cosmetic services available at different price points. It’s important that you consider all of your options to determine which is best to help you meet your smile goals. Here are some popular cosmetic services we offer at Fort Dental.

Invisalign – Invisalign can correct bite issues and straighten your teeth to perfection. Orthodontic treatment usually costs several thousands of dollars, so they are quite an investment.
Teeth Whitening – If you have teeth that are yellowed or discolored, professional teeth whitening can lift these stains! Whitening is a relatively fast and inexpensive cosmetic treatment.
Dental Bonding – Dental bonding is one of the cheapest options out there, and it can usually be completed in a single appointment. However, it is only available for minor changes, like reshaping a damaged tooth. The results can last several years before needing to be replaced.
Veneers – Veneers aren’t the cheapest option out there, but they are an ideal way to transform every aspect of your smile at once! If you’re looking for a complete smile makeover, this is likely the solution for you.

How to Make Veneers Affordable

Veneers are not usually covered by dental insurance because they are a cosmetic procedure. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be left to pay for everything at once. We work with CareCredit – a third-party financing company that can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little to no interest. To learn more about your financial options, don’t hesitate to talk to one of our friendly team members.

Veneers FAQs

If you’re looking for a dramatic smile makeover, veneers could be the perfect solution you’ve been looking for. However, they are quite an investment, so it pays to be well-informed. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we receive about veneers in Fort Worth. If you don’t see the information that you’re looking for below, give us a call . We’d be happy to walk you through the procedure and get you started with an initial consultation.

Are Veneers Permanent?

Veneers aren’t technically permanent because they will eventually need to be replaced. However, they are considered to be irreversible. To ensure that veneers fit properly on the teeth, small amounts of enamel need to be filed away. Removed enamel does not grow back, so teeth that have been prepared in this way will always need to be covered with either veneers or crowns.

Will I Still Be Able to Drink Coffee with Veneers?

Veneers that are made from porcelain are stain-resistant. Porcelain is a nonporous material, so the particles in dark-colored foods and beverages have a harder time slipping beneath the surface. Ultimately, you should be able to enjoy your morning cup of coffee without worrying too much about staining your veneers. Just keep in mind that veneers are not stain-proof, so excessive consumption of coffee can still have a negative impact over time. Moderation is key!

Do Veneers Give You a Lisp?

Some people have trouble pronouncing certain words when they first get veneers, resulting in a temporary lisp. This is partially due to muscle memory, as the tongue is not used to accounting for the presence of veneers when you talk. The tiny difference in thickness affects the way that the tongue moves. The tongue will eventually adjust on its own, but practicing the pronunciation of certain sounds can help to speed this process along.

How Many Veneers Will I Need?

The goal of veneers is for all of your visible teeth to match. Therefore, you’ll receive an appropriate number to accomplish that goal. Some patients opt for a single veneer to cover one pesky tooth, while others get anywhere from 6 to 12 for a more complete smile makeover. During your initial consultation with us, we will determine what the right number is to help you achieve the goals you have for your smile.
