What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin coverings that can be made using various materials, some of which look like natural teeth. They are bonded directly to the front of the teeth, and they are used to correct a wide range of imperfections, such as stained, chipped, irregularly shaped, or crooked teeth, as well as any gaps or uneven spaces between the upper front teeth.
Benefits of Veneers
Long-lasting, strong, and natural-looking, veneers do not stain easily and do not require as much enamel to be removed from the surface of the teeth as a typical dental crown or bridge.
What You Can Expect When Getting Veneers
If you have chosen veneers for your smile, the treatment begins by carefully preparing the teeth by removing the smallest layer of enamel. Then, an impression is made of the teeth that will serve as a mold for the dental laboratory to fabricate your veneers. At the following visit, the veneers will be placed on the teeth, polished, adjusted, and then bonded to each tooth.
Caring for Veneers
It is especially important to maintain a good dental hygiene routine and keep up with your regular visits to the dentist after getting veneers. Veneers are strong and resilient by design, but you must never use your teeth as “tools” to open containers or bite into hard or man-made objects.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Many people are unhappy with their teeth because they’re stained, discolored, cracked, broken, chipped, or all of the above. Although veneers are an excellent way to address all those issues, you may be hesitant to commit to treatment because you don’t want to break the bank. Well, it’s important to remember that you get what you pay for, and quality is extremely important. Of course, you should still take the time to do your research on cosmetic dentistry before making a final decision to transform your smile.
Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?
It’s important to think about what you’re trying to accomplish with your smile, mainly because different cosmetic services can change your look in different ways. Before committing to anything, you should explore all your available options. Some popular treatments we offer include:
- Dental Bonding – If you have minor dental imperfections, you may want to consider cosmetic dental bonding. Dr. Asinmaz will apply a composite resin to the tooth and sculpt it to perfection in as little as one hour. While this treatment is fast and affordable, you must keep in mind that it’ll have to be redone every few years.
- Teeth Whitening – Don’t like the color of your smile? A professional whitening treatment can make your pearly whites several shades brighter in no time! This option is relatively quick and inexpensive, but it cannot help with the shape or position of your teeth.
- Invisalign – The clear aligners can discreetly and comfortably give you the straight smile you’ve always wanted. However, they can be a significant investment for a solution that cannot help with the color or shape of your teeth.
- Veneers – Even though veneers are more costly than other solutions, they’re the only ones capable of addressing multiple problems at once (i.e., staining, discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment). Plus, you can expect to enjoy your brand-new grin for over a decade with proper care and maintenance!
How to Make Veneers Affordable
Since veneers fall under the realm of cosmetic dentistry, they’re usually not covered by dental insurance. That means you’ll need to find another way to pay for your treatment expenses. Fortunately, we offer third-party financing through CareCredit to help make your bills much easier to manage. It allows you to split the total cost of your dental work into smaller monthly installments. Plus, there’s usually little-to-no-interest attached!

Veneers FAQs
Are Veneers Permanent?
Veneers are not technically permanent since they will eventually need to be replaced. However, they are considered to be irreversible. To ensure that veneers fit properly, a small amount of enamel needs to be filed away, and removed enamel doesn’t grow back. For this reason, teeth that have been prepared in this way will always need to be covered with crowns or veneers.
Will I Still Be Able to Drink Coffee with Veneers?
Veneers are considered stain-resistant. The materials used to create veneers are nonporous, so the particles in dark-colored foods and beverages have a harder time slipping beneath the surface. Ultimately, you can drink your morning cup of coffee without worrying too much about staining your veneers. Just keep in mind that veneers are not stain-proof, so excessive consumption of coffee could still have a negative impact. Moderation is key!
Do Veneers Give You a Lisp?
Some people have trouble pronouncing certain words when they first get veneers, resulting in a temporary lisp. This is partially due to muscle memory, as the tongue is not used to accounting for the presence of veneers when you talk. The tiny difference in thickness affects the way the tongue moves. Fortunately, the tongue will eventually adjust on its own, but practicing the pronunciation of certain sounds can help speed along this process.
How Many Veneers Will I Need?
The goal of dental veneers is for all of your visible teeth to match, so you’ll receive an appropriate number of veneers to accomplish this goal. Some patients opt for one veneer to cover a single pesky tooth, while others get anywhere from 6 to 12 for a more complete smile makeover. During your initial consultation with us, we will determine what the right number is for you to reach the goals you have for your smile.
