What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells that are usually made from durable porcelain and are cemented to the front surfaces of your enamel to mask one or several oral problems detracting from your appearance, such as:
- Chips or cracks.
- Stubborn stains or blemishes.
- Slight overcrowding.
- Mild gaps.
- Somewhat misshapen teeth.
They are customized to match the shape, size, and tone of your natural teeth for beautiful, lifelike results. Furthermore, they’re coated with a glaze that helps them resist a certain amount of chipping and staining, so they’re not likely to require frequent repairs or replacement.
The Process of Getting Veneers
Although this is a popular and versatile approach to addressing various issues, that doesn’t mean it’s always the best treatment to meet everyone’s unique needs. Before proceeding, you must consult one of our providers in Portland to ensure you’re a good candidate.
If there are no pre-existing concerns that need to be addressed and your cosmetic service is approved, our team must then prepare your teeth for these restorations to ensure a proper fit. This involves numbing the area to help keep you comfortable, then removing a small amount of enamel so that they can be arranged flush against your gum line. This protective coating doesn’t grow back, making this an irreversible change. You’ll need to have veneers in place moving forward to provide additional protection, but they can last 15 years or more if properly cared for, making them a popular long-term solution.
The Benefits of Veneers
There are many excellent reasons to proceed with this popular cosmetic service, including:
- Lifelike appearance. The resilient ceramic material can be customized to be the exact right shade to match your natural grin.
- Boosted confidence. Addressing flaws helps you look and feel like the most attractive version of yourself, improving your self-esteem.
- Resist damage. They’re strong enough to help avoid additional chips, cracks, and stains.
- Long-lasting. They can remain in shape for 15+ years if they’re cared for correctly.
- Easy to maintain. Keeping them in good shape is as simple as brushing and flossing twice daily and visiting our team every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning!
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Most dental insurance policies consider veneers to be a cosmetic service that’s intended to enhance your looks more than your oral health, and don’t cover the cost. As a result, many patients fear that these ceramic shells are out of their price range.
If you’re concerned about affording your elected treatment, you might benefit from one of the following options:
- Flexible Financing. You can apply for a payment package with Cherry or CareCredit which allows you to divide your total invoice into more manageable installments over a designated period if your paperwork is approved.
- Wolfe Dental Membership Plan. For a low annual or monthly fee, you gain access to standard care and an additional 10% to 15% discount on other services we offer.
