What are Veneers? One of the most popular and effective developments in cosmetic dentistry, veneers are thin, custom made casings that cover the front side of your teeth. Veneers are used to correct uneven teeth, worn enamel, discoloration, chipped teeth and irregular spacing, and can last over 20 years. In some cases, veneers can serve a restorative purpose and can protect a damaged tooth from further harm.
What Does the Procedure Involve? After a thorough examination of your teeth, which may include X-rays and taking impressions of your teeth, Dr. Matt may do some cosmetic recontouring of your teeth, to allow the veneers to correct your smile in a way that will appear both beautiful and natural. Then Dr. Matt will create an impression and send it off to a laboratory to create the veneer. While the veneers are being created, we may provide you with temporary veneers. Finally, the veneer's size and color are given one last adjustment before they are cemented to your tooth on your second visit. What Are the Advantages of Veneers? Veneers can give your teeth a more natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance and are stain resistant and gentle on your gums. Will My Insurance Cover Veneers? As this procedure is elective and primarily cosmetic, most dental insurers will not cover veneers. However, veneers can be financed with the Citi Health Card, please call our office for details. |
