Frequently Asked Questions
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer, making them a long-term investment in your smile.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Veneers are typically considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance, but we offer flexible financing options to make treatment affordable.
Does getting veneers hurt?
The procedure is minimally invasive and virtually painless. We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during treatment.
How do I care for my veneers?
Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid biting hard objects, and schedule regular checkups to keep your veneers in top condition.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can correct mild misalignment, but severe cases may require Invisalign or orthodontic treatment.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes! Our custom veneers are designed to match your natural tooth color and shape, creating a seamless, realistic look.
How many veneers do I need?
It depends on your goals! Some patients need a single veneer, while others opt for a full set for a completely transformed smile.
Can I whiten my veneers?
Porcelain veneers don’t respond to whitening, so we recommend whitening your natural teeth before veneer placement for the best match.
What’s the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are more durable and stain-resistant, while composite veneers are a faster, more affordable option with slightly shorter longevity.
How soon can I eat after getting veneers?
You can eat immediately, but it’s best to avoid hard, sticky, or extremely hot/cold foods for the first 24 hours as your veneers settle.
