What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are like miniature masks that conceal tooth imperfections of all types, including chips, cracks, stains, misshapen teeth, gaps, slightly worn-down or crooked teeth, and more. Commonly crafted from porcelain, these ultra-thin coverings are placed on top of front-facing enamel and are customized based on your preferred size, shape, and color.
As a non-porous material, stains are less likely to form, and they can remain firmly in place for 15 years or more.
The Process of Getting Veneers
Most cases involving veneer placement require two appointments. During the initial visit, one of our qualified dentists will make sure you are eligible for treatment before removing a small portion of tooth enamel from the surface of your treated teeth. This process, although permanent, will allow your new veneers to adhere and remain bonded to the surface much longer.
Impressions will then be taken so that lab technicians have a high-resolution model to use while crafting your new, improved, and one-of-a-kind veneers.
During your second appointment, you will have your temporary veneers removed before the final ones are secured in place. After a thorough polish, we’ll make sure you are pleased with your results.
The Benefits of Veneers
There are many different types of cosmetic dentistry our office provides; however, veneers are the only ones that can deliver these kinds of benefits:
- A semi-permanent solution that requires you to maintain your results over time.
- A cosmetic solution that can conceal many different types of imperfections.
- A minimally invasive treatment option that is quick to administer and keeps you comfortable from start to finish.
- Results that can last 15+ years.
- Restorations that are highly durable and lifelike in appearance.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
We cannot determine the cost of your veneers until you schedule a consultation with a member of our team. This will allow us to perform a complete examination of your smile as well as go over your decision to pursue treatment and what you hope to achieve with custom veneers. Based on your preferences and budget, we will discuss the projected cost estimate during your consultation and go over ways you can minimize out-of-pocket costs, especially since dental insurance will be unlikely to pay.
Veneers FAQs
Does it Hurt to Get Veneers?
Getting veneers is a relatively comfortable procedure with minimal discomfort for most patients. During the process, your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from the front of each tooth to make space.
This is usually done with local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. You may feel some sensitivity afterward, but this fades quickly and can usually be dissipated with household pain medications.
If you’re still nervous about the procedure, we also offer light sedation options like nitrous oxide to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. Be sure to let our Newark dental team know if you’re worried about pain or discomfort. We’ll take you through every step to make sure your veneer experience is as stress-free as possible.
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Veneers?
While veneers are strong and stain-resistant, a few dietary habits can still cause trouble if you do them often enough. So, avoid chewing ice, hard candies, or very crunchy foods, as they can chip or weaken your veneers. Sticky snacks like caramels or taffy can also pull at the edges of the veneers and should be limited.
It’s also important to avoid tobacco and limit alcohol, which can affect the bonding and stain your natural teeth. Veneers can stain over time if not properly cared for, especially if you indulge in coffee, red wine, or tea.
At Newpark Mall Family Dental Group, we’ll talk to you about your lifestyle at your consultation. This will help us give you advice on striking a balance between having the foods you love and caring for your smile.
Can Veneers Be Used for Bite Corrections?
Veneers are primarily cosmetic, so they don’t move or realign your teeth like braces or clear aligners would. That said, veneers can improve the appearance of your bite and provide relief in very mild cases, especially if a tooth is uneven or worn.
They’re sometimes used to reshape a tooth’s surface, which can help reduce stress on your jaw and may assist in preventing TMJ-related discomfort. However, veneers aren’t suitable for moderate or severe bite issues.
How Are Veneers Different Than Crowns?
There’s a growing trend on social media, especially TikTok, where people (often young adults) get full dental crowns for purely cosmetic reasons. But crowns require removing a lot more of your natural tooth structure compared to veneers.
Veneers are a conservative option, covering only the front of the tooth while preserving its structure. Crowns are better for teeth that are broken, decayed, or weakened, not healthy teeth that just need a cosmetic upgrade.
At our Newark dental office, we’ll always guide you toward the right solution, not the one that’s trending. If your teeth are healthy but you want a brighter, straighter look, veneers are a great choice.
