What are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin covers bonded to the front surface of teeth to mask issues that detract from their appearance. Usually made from resilient ceramic or composite resin, they’re coated with a glaze strong enough to resist a certain amount of damage and discoloration. Plus, if you take good care of them, they can last up to 15+ years.

These restorations are customized to be just the right size, shade, and shape for seamless results. They can be used to address one or several problems simultaneously, including:

  • Chips and cracks.
  • Misshapen or worn-down teeth.
  • Stubborn stains.
  • Slight gaps.
  • Mildly crooked or overcrowded teeth.

The Process of Getting Veneers

Before you can continue with this procedure, you must have a consultation with one of our dentists. They’ll go over your medical history and learn more about your smile goals before conducting an oral examination. Then, they can determine if you’re a good candidate for veneers.

Then, if there are no other issues like cavities or gum disease that need to be addressed, they’ll prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel. This ensures that the shells line up flush against your gums without looking overly bulky once they’re placed. However, the protective outer layer won’t grow back, meaning that this step cannot be reversed. You’ll need to have veneers or some other prosthetic in place to shield your teeth moving forward.

Our team will make impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a special dental lab to build your veneers. Once they’re delivered, we will schedule you for an appointment to cement them in place.

The Benefits of Veneers

There are several benefits to getting veneers in Framingham, such as:

  • They’re less porous than your teeth, so they are less likely to be damaged or discolored.
  • Maintaining them is as simple as brushing and flossing twice daily.
  • They can hide one or many aesthetic issues simultaneously.
  • They’re created specially to match the specific dimensions of your smile.
  • They’re resilient and long-lasting so you don’t have to worry about frequent repairs.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

The cost of veneers can vary based on your unique circumstances, so we can’t provide a quote until you have your consultation. Then, we’ll give you detailed information and walk you through it to get your approval.

These prosthetics are considered a cosmetic service, meaning that they’re intended to enhance your appearance more than improve your dental health. As a result, most dental insurance policies won’t cover the cost.

We don’t want your budget to keep you from having the beautiful grin that you deserve, so we’ve implemented the following programs to help make them more affordable:

  • Flexible financing. We’ve partnered with a third-party financer, CareCredit, so that if your application is approved, you can break down your total invoice into more manageable installments.
  • Dental membership plans. For an annual fee, you can receive a 15% discount on general and major dental procedures in addition to many other savings.
