Description

• A dental veneer is a shell, or layer of
  tooth-colored porcelain or composite that is
  placed over the facial surfaces of your teeth to
  correct worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment
  or spacing, discoloration and chips or cracks.
• Although veneers fall into the category of
  cosmetic dentistry because they create bright,
  white smiles with beautifully aligned, shapely
  teeth, they also protect the surface of damaged
  teeth and may eliminate the need for more
  extensive treatments. Other benefits include
  durability, an improved smile appearance, and the
  need for little-to-no removal of tooth structure
  compared to crowns.

• Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth,
  dental veneers may solve most or even all of your
  cosmetic dental issues, including
• Worn enamel Over time, the thin, hard
  translucent substance covering your teeth
  (enamel) may become worn, dulled and discolored.
  Such wear and discoloration may be natural or
  result from a genetic predisposition. However, it
  often results from consuming soft drinks, tea or
  coffee smoking using certain medications, etc.
• Wear and tear Teeth naturally wear down as
  people age. Aged teeth are more likely to have
  chips, cracks or a generally uneven appearance.
• Genetics Certain people are born with abnormal
  spacing between their teeth that widens with age.
• Uneven teeth Uneven teeth can result from tooth
  grinding or general wear and tear.

• To determine if you are a candidate for dental
  veneers, your dentist will schedule a preliminary
  consultation during which your oral health will
  be evaluated and all available treatment options
  discussed. Treatment involving tooth preparation
  is irreversible, so it is important that your
  dentist discuss any alternatives that provide the
  same results but with minimal to no removal of
  tooth structure. If you and your dentist decide
  that veneers are the best option, the next step
  involves a thorough review of treatment details,
  including preparing your teeth for your specific
  veneer procedure and what will be necessary for
  them to look and fit correctly.
• During your consultation, you will actively
  participate in the "smile design process." By
  sharing your preferences for the shape, length,
  width and color of the veneers and the change in
  the appearance of your smile that you want them
  to create, you help ensure that your treatment
  will meet your expectations. It is important that
  your dentist understands your objectives when
  undergoing a veneer procedu

• Veneers Cost Factors
• Porcelain veneers are more expensive than the
  indirect or direct composite resin alternative.
  Traditional porcelain veneers cost between 925
  and 2,500 per tooth but can last 10 to 15 years.
  Composite veneers cost approximately 250 to
  1500 per tooth and may last between five and
  seven years.
• Generally speaking, the cost of dental veneers
  depends on many factors, including
• The fees of the cosmetic dentist performing the
  procedure.
• The artistic and technical skill of the ceramist
  making the veneers and the cosmetic dentist who
  places them.
• The location where treatment is performed. Costs
  for cosmetic dentistry procedures vary widely by
  region of the country, specifically from large
  metropolitan areas to smaller towns.
• The type of dental insurance you have. Dental
  insurance typically does not cover cosmetic
  procedures.
• The material used. Porcelain is more expensive
  than indirect or direct composite resin.
• The number of teeth being treated.
