What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are ceramic restorations designed to mimic the ideal color, texture, and shape of real teeth, and they can be cemented over teeth prepared to receive them to conceal a host of unpleasant defects like chips, cracks, stains, and gaps or even address misshapenness or stubbiness. This treatment can completely transform a patient’s smile in as few as two appointments.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The first step to receiving veneers is to schedule a consultation at our Portland office so we can evaluate your oral health as well as your goals for your smile. Some patients may need to undergo restorative treatments like fillings, root canals, or gum disease therapy before they can receive veneers, and we’ll be happy to perform these treatments at our office.
When the patient is ready, we will schedule them for two appointments. During the first, our dentist will anesthetize the treatment area, remove a small amount of enamel from the teeth receiving veneers to make room, take digital impressions of the patient’s bite, and fix temporary appliances on the treated teeth. About two weeks later, the patient will come back to our Portland office to have their temporary veneers removed and their customized final appliances cemented in place. Then, they will receive any final adjustments and be sent on their way to enjoy their new smile.
The Benefits of Veneers
Veneers offer a range of incredible benefits like:
- Addressing multiple defects with one treatment
- Lifelike appearance that makes them indistinguishable from natural enamel
- Creating a gorgeous smile the patient will be proud to show off
- Being made from stain-resistant ceramic materials
- Easy hygiene and maintenance requirements
- Being able to last for fifteen years or more with proper care
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Dental insurance plans do not usually cover elective cosmetic treatments such as veneers, so you will probably have to pay for the entire treatment out-of-pocket. However, insurance may provide partial coverage for preliminary treatments such as gum disease therapy, fillings, and root canals. We also offer flexible financing plans from CareCredit, which can allow you to break your bill into easy monthly installments. We’ll be happy to discuss your insurance and financing options when we see you during your consultation.
