What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are different from the crowns that you may be more familiar with. A crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth. A veneer, on the other hand, is a thin sheath and is only placed on the front of the tooth. The shade of the veneer is carefully chosen to match your other teeth so that it won’t be obvious that you’ve had cosmetic dental work done.
You may be a candidate for veneers if you have:
- Teeth that are slightly chipped or cracked.
- Any stains on your enamel that you can’t get rid of with teeth whitening.
- Teeth that are unusually short or are visibly more worn down than normal.
- Small yet noticeable gaps between specific teeth.
- A slightly crooked smile.
The Process of Getting Veneers
If we determine that you’re a good candidate for veneers during your consultation, then we will move on to the next step: solidifying the details of your treatment plan. This is when we will determine how many you need as well as the ideal size, shape, and shade of each one.
Next, we will “prep” your teeth by removing a sliver of enamel. We’ll also take impressions of your teeth so the lab artisans can begin working on your custom treatment plan. In the meantime, we’ll secure a temporary set in place, allowing you to “test drive” your new smile.
At your final visit, we will replace your temporary veneers with your permanent ones. At that point, your dream smile will be yours!
The Benefits of Veneers
Veneers in San Marcos allow you to make big changes to your smile in just two appointments; in many cases, you can address all of your aesthetic issues in one fell swoop. They’re considered more conservative than dental crowns since not as much enamel needs to be removed to place them. And of course, there’s the fact that they can last 15 years or more with proper maintenance, ensuring that you’ll get plenty of mileage out of your more dazzling grin.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Although we welcome dental insurance, most providers don’t cover the cost of cosmetic dentistry treatments, like veneers. Don’t let that worry you, though – there are several other financial solutions that are available at our office. To start, you can break up the total price of your smile makeover into smaller, more manageable chunks with CareCredit, which is a trusted third-party financier.
