Would it surprise you to learn that many celebrities owe their perfect smiles to dental veneers? Those bright, shiny, perfectly aligned smiles that grace the covers of magazines and runways could be cosmetic dentistry designed to cover imperfections. Dental veneers involve the application of thin sheets of porcelain or resin composite to the surface of teeth.

What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made of porcelain or composite resin and are designed to match the color and shape of the patient’s natural teeth. Veneers can be used to address a variety of cosmetic issues, including chips, cracks, discoloration, and gaps between teeth.

How do Dental Veneers Work?

Dental veneers work by covering the visible surface of the teeth with a thin, tooth-like covering that has been expertly designed by your dentist to improve the appearance of your teeth. Here’s how the veneers process works at Jefferson Dental & Orthodontics:

1. Consultation:

The process begins with a free consultation* with a dentist, who will assess the patient’s teeth and discuss their goals for the procedure.

 

*Exam consultations are free with most insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance, you can join our Dental Savings Plan starting at only $29/year to get access to up to 50% off treatment, free exams, free x-rays, and more.

 

The dentist will take a 3D impression of your mouth using the iTero 3D scanner (that takes less than 4 minutes!) to create a “mock-up” of what your new teeth will look like, based on your preferences. You will also select the exact shade you’d like to use for your veneers by matching it to your natural tooth color.

2. Preparation & Temporary Veneers

Once you and your dentist agree on your mock-up, your dentist prepares your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the surface to make room for the veneers. This step is important to ensure that the veneers fit properly and look natural.

The dentist will take another 3D impression to make sure your new veneers will fit perfectly. You will have temporary veneers placed on while your permanent veneers are being fabricated.

3. Permanent Veneers

When your permanent veneers are ready, your dentist will remove your temporary veneers and bond or “glue” on your new permanent veneers using a strong dental adhesive.

Overall, the process for dental veneers takes two to four appointments over the course of a few weeks.

Before you start searching for “dental veneers near me,” you may want to ask a different question so that you’re prepared for the cost of dental veneers. So, how much are veneers? It depends on how many teeth you hope to cover and what type of dental veneer you choose.

How Much are Porcelain Veneers vs. Composite Veneers?

Dental veneer costs depend on the type of veneer you choose. Porcelain dental veneers cost more than resin composite veneers. Composite veneers cost several hundred per tooth, but you can expect to pay $900 to $2500 per tooth for porcelain veneers.

How Much Does a Full Set of Veneers Cost?

No matter what type of dental veneer you choose, a full set could cost you $10,000 or more. Ultimately, the final dental veneers cost would depend on the material used and how much work your smile requires.

Of course, if you decide to make the investment, it’s an alternative to orthodontics for many people. Plus, it is possible to get affordable veneers, but make sure that you only get veneers from a dentist with experience in cosmetic dentistry.

 

Dental veneers typically involve three steps.

Step 1: Consult with your dentist. The consultation may involve x-rays or impressions to determine the appropriate sizes and colors.

Step 2: Your dentist prepares your teeth for the veneers by removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth to accommodate the veneers. They will take impressions of your altered teeth to send to the dental lab to make your custom dental veneers.

Step 3: Bonding the veneers to your teeth involves a light-sensitive resin and special light to create a chemical reaction. It’s an immediate smile upgrade!

What is the Difference Between Dental Veneers and Tooth Bonding?

Tooth bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored composite to a cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth. It can fill in decayed areas or gaps between teeth. Tooth bonding can create a quick fix and help in emergencies.

Dental veneers are more versatile and create a natural-looking smile. It’s the superior option for improving, brightening, or straightening multiple teeth.

 

Generally, dental veneers serve as a permanent smile solution. However, there are some temporary and removable options for those who aren’t ready to commit to a permanent change. Temporary dental veneers cost less than permanent veneers, but they can’t accomplish as much with your smile.

 

No, dental veneers do not ruin your teeth. Veneers cover imperfections in your teeth to create the smile you desire. If a veneer cracks, it can be repaired.
