What is a Porcelain Veneer?

A porcelain veneer is a custom-made ceramic shell that is bonded directly to the surface of an existing tooth and restores its natural shape, size, and colour. You can have a single dental veneer restore the appearance of one tooth or use multiple veneers to restore natural colour and symmetry back to your smile. If properly cared for dental veneers will improve your smile’s appearance for years.

Dental Veneers Will Correct Issues Such as:

  • Stained teeth
  • Cracked or chipped teeth
  • Misshapen teeth

How do Porcelain Veneers Work?

The first step is to visit a qualified cosmetic dentist near you, like Higson Dental Group, to discuss whether veneers are your best option, and, if so, you will return for additional appointments to create a treatment plan, prepare your teeth for the porcelain shells and finally to attach the veneers to your teeth. Dental veneers require daily maintenance, just like your natural teeth, and you should continue to visit the dentist for regular checkups. With proper care, veneers can give you a bright, even smile for at least a decade.

Different Types of Dental Veneers

The most used materials in the veneer fabrication process are composite resin and porcelain. Both can beautifully transform your smile even though you are likely to spend a little more on porcelain veneers compared to the composite resin alternative. Composite resin veneers are often used because of their lower cost. It costs an average of $250 and $1500 per tooth to get a smile makeover with composite veneers. An advantage of this option is that the veneers can be fabricated as you wait which allows the treatment to be completed in one day.  Composite veneers can last between 5 and 7 years.

Porcelain veneers cost slightly more but are longer-lasting, typically 10 to 15 years. Additionally, porcelain is resistant to staining and chipping. The glaze that is applied after treatment makes it even stronger. However, porcelain veneer treatment is slightly longer as it involves wearing temporary teeth until the veneers are sculpted in the lab. 

How Much do Porcelain Veneers Cost?

Porcelain is an ideal option for severe tooth concerns such as genetic defects, uneven teeth, and extensive wear and tear which may not be adequately treated with composite veneers. When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, the cost of porcelain veneers would be about an average of between $800 and $1500 per tooth to have porcelain veneers placed. Dental veneers aren’t often covered by insurance, as they’re considered a cosmetic procedure.

The cost of your dental veneer treatment depends on factors like what type of veneers you’re choosing, what brand name your dentist has available. If you have any questions regarding cosmetic dental surgery costs or All-on-4 dental implant costs, please contact our office.
