The length of time required to place dental veneers varies depending on the patient's individual needs and goals – as well as if any restoration work needs to be done before placing the new smile makeover! Typically, getting dental veneers takes two visits over 2-3 weeks apart, where impressions are taken during your initial visit before the treatment begins at your second appointment when your dentist bonds them into place. During those two visits, there will also be discussions about colour choice, shape, and other adjustments based on how you would like your new smile to look before cementing them permanently!
Veneer placement is painless because a local anesthetic will be used during the procedure to ensure comfort throughout the entire process. Afterward, some moderate sensitivity may occur due to slight tissue irritation around the teeth as they adjust. However, this will subside within a few days following treatment.
The lifespan of dental veneers varies depending on the type used and how well they are cared for. Generally speaking, porcelain veneers have a longer lifespan than composite resin ones; with proper care, porcelain veneers have been known to last up to 20 years or longer, while composite resin material may need replacement in as little as five years.
Dental veneers are typically made from either composite resin material or porcelain. Both types of veneers offer advantages and disadvantages. Porcelain is known for its natural appearance and durability, but it can be more difficult to adjust after placement than composite resin material. Composite resin veneers are generally less expensive than porcelain but require more maintenance as they can stain over time. Our practice uses porcelain for our veneers, providing our patients with beautiful, lasting results.
Cosmetic dental veneers can be a more expensive option than other teeth whitening or dental bonding, depending on the type, materials, and the number of veneers needed. Additionally, insurance does not cover this procedure since it is a cosmetic treatment. It is important to note that you should always speak with your dentist about cost and payment options before beginning treatment.
