Dental Veeners

The price of your veneers can vary depending on which type you’re going to have. No-prep veneers, which are thin enough to fit over your teeth without shaving them down, tend to be more affordable. Porcelain veneers tend to cost a bit more since they require preparing your teeth, and they can last 2 to 3 times longer. However, regardless of which kind you get, most veneers are not covered by insurance.

There are two main ways you can get the smile of your dreams at the dentist: by incredible dental hygiene or through cosmetic dentistry. Brushing your teeth and making regular cleaning appointments can only do so much, however. Cosmetic dentistry, which includes not only veneers but teeth whitening, bonding, and Invisalign, does more than keep your teeth beautifully healthy. These cosmetic services can change the look of your smile so that it’s precisely what you want.

Porcelain veneers are amazing for their durability. With proper care and dental hygiene habits, they can last you 10 to 15 years before needing replacement. To ensure you get the most out of your veneers, be sure to brush and floss regularly, avoid grinding your teeth, and stay away from staining foods and drinks.

No, porcelain veneers do not ruin your teeth. They actually have advantages over your natural enamel. Just like porcelain crowns do, veneers protect your teeth from further tooth decay and damage. Veneers are made of much sterner stuff than enamel, and they’re more resistant to stains.

Unfortunately, veneers are not a permanent solution to your smile. However, with excellent dental care and regular cleaning appointments with your dentist, you can make sure that your veneers last you a long time. Also, unless you are using a thinner brand like Lumineers, your teeth will have been shaved down slightly to fit your veneers. As such, we recommend that you receive replacement veneers in order to maintain your beautiful, healthy smile.

Porcelain veneers can change your face. At Nu Dentistry, your cosmetic dentist will make sure that your new teeth not only fit perfectly for you now but will highlight the best features of your face. Depending on your needs, your veneers can widen your smile, emphasize your cheekbones, and even make your face appear more symmetrical. When you come in for your consultation, we’ll discuss which veneers will give you the exact look you want.

There is no one-color-fits-all solution for dental veneers. Each person is different, and your teeth’s color should reflect their features and look natural. For patients looking only to change one or two teeth, we perfectly match your veneers to the rest of your teeth so that they blend in flawlessly. If you are looking into a more complete smile adjustment, then we will select your shade that helps your teeth pop and look their healthiest.

There are certain no-preparation veneers, like Lumineers, that do not require trimming your teeth down to fit them. They are thin enough that they can fit right over your teeth as-is without feeling bulky or uncomfortable.

Absolutely! Veneers are meant to perfect your teeth only as you want them to. We treat each tooth individually, shaping and designing them so that you receive your best look. We can prepare anywhere between a single to 6 or 8 veneers, depending on your needs.
