Understanding Porcelain Dental Veneers

6 Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers resemble enamel and mimic the light reflecting properties of teeth, creating a natural appearance. Porcelain is stain and chip resistant.

Advantages of porcelain dental veneers:

Natural tooth appearance
Gentle on gum tissue
More stain resistant than bonded veneers
Cover discolored teeth
Correct tooth shape without extensive shaping work
Long-lasting (15 years or more with proper care)

Smile Transformation Process

Total Care Dental partners with the highest quality labs in the country for our cosmetic dentistry supplies, ensuring you receive the best veneers.Having porcelain veneers placed requires little to no anesthesia and can be completed in two appointments following a consultation. New veneers require the same oral hygiene routine as your natural teeth: brushing twice a day and daily flossing. The dentist may schedule a follow up appointment to make sure the veneers are properly placed and fully functional.

Porcelain Veneer Process

5 easy steps
1.

Consultation

You will meet with your dentist to determine if porcelain veneers are right for you.
2.

Preperation

The dentist removes the top layer of your enamel to prep the teeth for veneers and takes an impression of your teeth.
3.

Design & Temporaries

The dentist sends the impressions to a lab, where your veneers will be carefully crafted for a perfect fit and color matched for a natural appearance. The dentist will place temporary veneers on your teeth.
4.

Final Prep

When you return to have your semi-permanent porcelain veneers placed, the dentist will thoroughly clean and lightly buff your teeth.
5.

Placement

The dentist secures the veneers to your teeth with dental cement and a UV light.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?

The cost of porcelain veneers varies based on several factors, including the number of veneers needed, the complexity of your case, and the type of materials used. Because veneers are customized for each patient, pricing is determined after a consultation and treatment plan review.

In general, porcelain veneers are more expensive than bonded (composite) veneers, but they offer greater durability, stain resistance, and long-term value. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 15 to 20 years or longer.

Factors that affect veneer cost include

How many teeth are being treated
Whether any prep work or additional dental care is needed
The type of veneer material selected
Lab and customization requirements
