Smile Makeover

Veneers improve the appearance of your teeth, and gum tissues respond well to dental veneers.  The preparation of veneers preserve the most amount of tooth structure, as very little needs to be removed. The color can be custom selected, and in the case of porcelain veneers they are stain resistant.

If you have stained or chipped teeth, you might be interested in veneers as they will cover up your existing teeth. They are also a popular treatment for smile makeovers or for individuals who want their dream smile.

A smile design consultation is needed to determine how many veneers are required or if veneers are the best option. It is a good idea to have an even number of veneers. Two, four, eight, ten or twelve veneers give the best aesthetic results.  

Brushing two times each day, flossing daily, and wearing a bite guard at night are great ways to protect the veneers. It is also beneficial to avoid eating very hard foods like almonds, or cracking shells with the front veneers.   

The cost of porcelain veneers will vary depending on where you are having them done, and on how many teeth. Schedule a smile consultation for a quote and start planning today. Financing available.

It depends on your dental insurance. Some insurance companies will cover up to 50% of a fee they see as reasonable, but don’t expect payment without first discussing the procedure with Dr. Astaraee and your insurance provider. 

There should be no pain during the procedure because typically patients are numb for the veneering process. With smaller cases (two or four veneers) there will be very little or no discomfort after the numbness subsides. Patients should expect some soreness of the gums and possibly the jaw in cases that involve eight or more veneers. 

Try not to panic. Sometimes this happens, although it’s rare. Please try to save the veneer. Do NOT use any at home methods like glue. Please call our office and we will get you in as soon as possible. Your tooth may be sensitive to cold foods or liquids when the veneer is off.
