What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells designed to be placed over natural teeth to conceal defects like stains, cracks, chips, and gaps, and they can also be used to completely resculpt misshapen teeth. These appliances imitate the ideal appearance of natural dental structure, making teeth wearing them indistinguishable from those that are not. Porcelain is naturally stain-resistant and incredibly durable, allowing veneers to easily stand up to the pressures of chewing. While veneers will eventually need to be replaced, they can last up to fifteen years with excellent care.
The Process of Getting Porcelain Veneers
The process of getting porcelain veneers is minimally invasive and begins with a consultation at our Monroe office, during which Dr. Roberson will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals for the treatment. Once you are approved, porcelain veneers can be placed in as few as two appointments. During the first, Dr. Roberson will begin by administering a local anesthetic before removing a tiny amount of enamel from treated teeth, taking bite impressions, and cementing a set of temporary veneers in place. You’ll then be sent on your way and the impressions will be sent to a dental lab where your permanent set will be carefully crafted.
You’ll come back to our office when your permanent veneers are finished about two weeks later. Then, Dr. Roberson will remove your temporary set, fix your permanent veneers in place, and make any final adjustments. You’ll then be ready to meet the world with your gorgeous new grin.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer many significant benefits such as:
- Naturally stain-resistant porcelain can retain its lovely sheen even after years of use
- Lasting for fifteen years or more with excellent care
- The versatility to fix chipped teeth, cover cracks, conceal stains, close gaps, and reshape stubby teeth with a single treatment
- Each veneer is customized to blend in with the patient’s unique smile so nobody will be able to tell that they are wearing it at all
Understanding the Cost of Porcelain Veneers
Most dental insurance plans do not cover elective cosmetic treatments, so you will probably have to pay out-of-pocket for porcelain veneers. However, we offer payment plans through CareCredit, a trusted third-party financier that can break your bill into small monthly installments that are easy to manage with little or no interest. Our staff will be happy to go over your insurance policy with you and help you navigate your financing options, so don’t hesitate to contact our office if you need assistance.
