Veneers – Dallas, TX

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are the ideal solution for those who want to completely redesign their smile appearance. These wafer-thin and durable porcelain shells are specifically designed to fit over the front of any affected teeth you wish to alter or improve, whether it’s the shape, size, color, or all three! Even if you have one or multiple imperfections, veneers can provide the most comprehensive makeover for your smile. They’re typically used to address the following dental flaws:

• Stubborn stains or discoloration
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Teeth that are naturally misshapen, small, or stubby
• Gaps between the teeth
• Teeth that are slightly crooked or misaligned

The Process of Getting Veneers

First, you’ll undergo an initial consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Dallas. After assessing your dental situation and determining that veneers are an ideal option for you, they’ll walk you through a detailed treatment plan. Once you’re on the same page, they’ll begin by removing a small amount of your enamel to make room for your porcelain shells. This way your veneers will fit seamlessly with the rest of your natural smile. We’ll then take impressions, send them to a dental lab for fabrication, and bond temporary ones on your exposed teeth.

Your final veneers will take approximately two weeks to complete. In the meantime, your provisional set will serve as a “trial run” for you to see how your permanent ones will look and function. After they’re finished, you’ll come back into our office to have your temporary ones removed and replaced with your final veneers. We’ll verify that they’re properly bonded and that your bite is comfortable. Once we’ve confirmed that you’re satisfied with your results, you’ll be sent on your way to show off and enjoy your newly enhanced smile!

Cost VS Cosmetic Dentistry: What's Right For Me?

Thanks to advancements in dentistry and technology, there are a multitude of smile-enhancing solutions available. Here are a few of the most sought-after ones and what to keep in mind when comparing them to veneers:

• Braces – Traditional and clear braces are incredibly effective at correcting spaced out, crowded, and otherwise misaligned teeth. The only “downside” when it comes to the cost is that the color and shape of your teeth will remain unchanged. So, if you’re unhappy with your smile because of stubborn stains or noticeable chips, then you’ll need to factor in the cost of additional treatments.
• Teeth Whitening – Professional teeth whitening treatments are safe, quick, and able to make your teeth eight shades whiter in a single visit. Once again, the other aspects of your smile, like the shape and position of your teeth, will remain untouched. Plus, the results typically only last for several months at a time, so you need to account for the price of touch-ups.
• Direct Bonding – Sometimes referred to as cosmetic bonding, direct bonding does have the ability to improve the size, shape, and shade of your teeth. However, they don’t last anywhere near as long as veneers, so it’s important to consider the overall cost, not just the initial cost.
• Veneers – Due to the versatility and longevity of veneers, they may be the best choice for the smiles and wallets of patients in Dallas!
