Even if you do a great job brushing and flossing your teeth, you may still have dental imperfections you’d like to correct. For example, discolored teeth might make you self-conscious and reluctant to smile as much as you’d like.
If you want to address the flaws in your smile, Drs. Shirin Hamed and Reza Moezi at Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry in Vacaville, California, can help with solutions like porcelain veneers. Below, we answer the most common questions about porcelain veneers and what can affect their cost.
To make porcelain veneers, skilled craftspersons use high-quality ceramic porcelain to create thin, custom-made shells. These shells are crafted to blend perfectly with your natural teeth in terms of tooth shape, shade, and size. Porcelain beautifully mimics the shine and translucency of your real dental enamel.Â
Porcelain veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic flaws. Most commonly, veneers are used to cover teeth that have become yellowed or badly stained. However, we can also use porcelain veneers to fix chipped teeth and even minor tooth alignment. If your teeth are too narrow or short, we can place veneers to give you a whole new smile.Â
Depending on your demands and particular circumstances, porcelain veneers in California cost anywhere from $925 to $2,500 per tooth. These factors can impact the cost of full mouth veneers:
If we use veneers to correct slightly misaligned teeth, porcelain veneers give you a more immediate transformation than Invisalign clear aligners. However, the overall cost for Invisalign is less.
Composite resin veneers can also address the same issues as porcelain veneers, and they’re more affordable. The downside is that composite veneers don’t last as long as porcelain and don’t look quite as realistic.
Professional dental whitening may be a more affordable solution for brightening your smile. However, the process must be repeated periodically, while veneers are a permanent solution.Â
Are There Financing Options Available for Full Mouth Porcelain Veneers at Your Office?
We understand that cosmetic dentistry can be a significant investment. For this reason, they provide options like CareCredit to pay for your dental work over time. The office also accepts dental insurance.
Are veneers permanent? Not quite. But if you take good care of your teeth, you can expect your porcelain veneers to last between 10 and 15 years. Porcelain is a durable material, and they’re bonded securely to your teeth.Â
You may be an excellent candidate for porcelain veneers if you want to improve your smile. One requirement is healthy teeth and gums. Drs. Shirin Hamed, Reza Moezi, and the team at Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry in Vacaville, CA, will help you evaluate whether or not you need additional treatment before you get your veneers.
