The cost of dental veneers is highly variable and depends on the location, materials used, and type of preparation that is required. Generally, porcelain veneers (which are often preferred because they are stain-resistant and have a natural appearance) will cost more than composite resin veneers due to the higher manufacturing costs. In addition, some patients may experience increased expenses due to extra preparations such as removing enamel or reshaping teeth prior to placing the veneers. Ultimately, it’s best to consult with an experienced dentist to get accurate information about what kind of expenses you may incur for your particular situation.
Veneers provide a great way to give teeth a beautiful, natural-looking appearance. However, it is important for patients to understand how long these dental treatments typically last. The life expectancy of a veneer can vary based on several factors, such as the type of material and how well it is properly cared for. Generally speaking, porcelain veneers can last from 10-15 years with regular maintenance and good oral hygiene habits. Composite resin veneers tend to have a shorter life expectancy of 5-7 years, due to the fact that they are more prone to staining and cracking over time than porcelain veneers. It's important for patients to discuss their expectations around longevity with their dentist before deciding which material is right for them.
In most cases, there should not be any significant discomfort when getting veneers placed. During placement of the veneers, it’s normal to experience some pressure on your teeth, but this should not be painful. It may also be necessary to remove some enamel from your teeth in order to allow room for the veneer; however, this process is relatively simple and will most likely not cause lasting discomfort. After placement of the veneers is complete, you may notice some soreness in your mouth or on your gums, but these symptoms will typically resolve within a day or two.
Depending on your dental needs and the type of material you choose, it may take between 1-3 appointments. We offer veneers made in a traditional dental laboratory or on-site using our streamlined digital fabrication process.
