Common Patient Questions
How long do veneers last?
How long do veneers take?
Another common question people have about veneers is how long the process takes. The answer is that it depends on the type of veneers you get. Composite veneers can often be done in a single visit. The dentist designs them on your tooth, which is why they’re sometimes referred to as chair-side veneers. On the other hand, porcelain veneers tend to require multiple visits to the dentist before the process has been completed.
How can I reduce sensitivity after treatment?
It’s normal to experience some tooth sensitivity after getting veneers since a small amount of enamel is removed during the process. Sensitivity can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, toothpaste for sensitive teeth, or fluoride rinses. Avoiding very hot or cold foods and drinks can also help while your teeth adjust.
How much do veneers cost?
As previously mentioned, veneers aren’t usually covered by dental insurance because they are considered a cosmetic treatment. That means that you’ll most likely be covering their full cost yourself. How much you end up paying will depend on the type of veneer you get and how many teeth you get them on. Porcelain veneers tend to run between $1,000-$3,000 per tooth. Composite veneers cost around $800-$950 per tooth. Lumineers range between $800-$2000. Obviously, the more veneers you get, the more you’ll pay.
Are veneers safe?
Veneers are very safe, as the procedure only involves removing a very thin layer of enamel and does not affect the inner structure of the tooth. In most cases, the biggest concern is the cost rather than dental risk. For those seeking a no-enamel option, Lumineers are ultra-thin veneers that bond directly to the tooth surface.
How are dental veneers performed?
Porcelain veneers usually require two dental visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken, and a temporary veneer may be placed while the permanent one is made. At the second visit, the temporary veneer is removed, the fit is checked, and the final veneer is bonded once everything looks and feels right.
When should I consider dental veneers?
-Your teeth are stained or discolored teeth
-Your teeth are crooked or misshaped teeth
-Your teeth have spaces between them
-Your teeth are broken or chipped
Can veneers replace other cosmetic dentistry treatments like bonding or teeth whitening?
Veneers can sometimes replace treatments like dental bonding or teeth whitening, especially when discoloration, chips, or shape concerns are more severe. While whitening only changes color and bonding is best for minor fixes, veneers provide a long-term cosmetic dentistry solution that improves color, shape, and alignment at the same time.
Will veneers look natural with my surrounding teeth?
Yes. Veneers are custom-designed to match your natural teeth in color, size, and shape. Dr. Fariba Bolourchi carefully blends veneers with your existing smile so they look seamless alongside your natural teeth, crowns, or other cosmetic dentistry restorations.
Can veneers be part of a full smile makeover?
Absolutely. Dental veneers are commonly used as part of a smile makeover that may also include teeth whitening, crowns, or orthodontic treatment. Veneers are often the finishing touch that brings balance, symmetry, and brightness to your overall smile.Your Content Goes Here
