What Are Veneers?
Teeth veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or resin composite that permanently attach to your teeth. A veneer changes the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to fit on your teeth and require less enamel removal than a cap or crown. Porcelain veneers are strong, durable, and stain-resistant while providing a natural look.
Midtown Dental offers porcelain and composite veneers. Book an appointment today and start your journey to a new smile.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Generally, veneers last between 3-10 years on average, but with the proper care and maintenance, they can last longer, depending on the patient.
- Porcelain Veneers: Average lifespan of about 10 years
- Composite Veneers: Average lifespan of 3 years
How Do I Make My Veneers Last Longer?
Good oral hygiene is essential for your health and ensuring your veneer investment lasts as long as possible.
You should brush for two minutes at least twice per day and floss well at least once per day.
Visit us at Midtown Dental every six months for professional dental cleanings.
If you’re active in sports, wear a mouthguard to protect your veneers. Also, if you clench your jaw or grind your teeth at night, you’ll need a nightguard to protect your veneers from damage.
Finally, don’t bite down on hard foods like ice or nuts, and don’t use your teeth to open packages or bite your nails.
How Much Do Veneers Cost?
Dentists base the cost of veneers on the complexity, location, and material. The cosmetic dentist at Midtown Dental will help you decide what’s best for your month.
But, to give you an idea of how much your new smile might cost:
Porcelain Veneer
Porcelain veneers cost between $925 to $2,500 per tooth. These veneers are more expensive because of their natural appearance and durability.
Porcelain veneers resemble natural teeth because they are fabricated to reflect light the same way tooth enamel does.
Also, there is a more extended preparation and fabrication timeline. A dentist must prepare your teeth before an impression of your mouth is taken and then sent to a dental laboratory.
Composite Veneer
The price tag of composite veneers ranges between $250 to $1,500 per tooth. While they may wear down quicker than their porcelain counterpart, they are easier to repair in addition to costing significantly less.
Composite resin veneers can be affordably created and sometimes placed in as little as one visit.
Don’t let the cost of veneers stop you from your dream smile. Midtown Dental offers a variety of payment options. Contact us to learn more.
