Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of veneers, and are they covered by insurance?
The cost of veneers varies depending on the number of teeth being treated and the type of veneers used. Most cosmetic procedures, including veneers, are not typically covered by dental insurance. However, we offer various financing options to make the treatment accessible.
Will my veneers look like natural teeth?
Yes, veneers are crafted to mimic the look of your natural teeth closely. They can be shaped and colored to match your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Can anyone get veneers?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for veneers. Patients with healthy teeth and gums are typically good candidates, while those with conditions like tooth decay, gum disease, or root canal infection may need treatment for these issues first.
Is the veneer procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the veneer procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the preparation phase to ensure comfort.
How many appointments are needed for veneer treatment?
Typically, veneer treatment at Laughlin Dental involves at least two visits – one for consultation and tooth preparation and another for veneer placement. Additional visits may be necessary for follow-ups and adjustments.
Do veneers require special care?
Veneers do not require special care beyond good oral hygiene practices. It's important to continue brushing and flossing daily and to visit your dentist regularly. However, avoiding hard foods and not using your teeth as tools can help prolong their lifespan.
How long do dental veneers last?
On average, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, and composite resin veneers last around 5 to 7 years, depending on your oral hygiene and care.
Are veneers a permanent solution?
Veneers are considered a semi-permanent dental procedure. While they are permanently bonded to your teeth, they may need to be replaced after several years due to wear and tear.
How do veneers improve a smile?
Veneers can address various cosmetic concerns, including:
- Teeth that are discolored or stained.
- Worn down, chipped, or broken teeth.
- Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth.
- Teeth with gaps between them.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They improve the appearance of your smile by altering the color, shape, size, or length of your teeth. Veneers are typically made from porcelain or resin-composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth.
