Dental Veneers
Flawless smile with natural-looking perfection.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to enhance their appearance. Made from porcelain or composite resin, veneers correct imperfections such as chips, gaps, stains, and misshapen teeth. This minimally invasive procedure provides a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for a radiant smile.

Dental Veneers FAQs
Giving you the answers you need.
How long do veneers last?
The lifespan of your veneers can range from five to 20 years, depending on how diligently you maintain them. However, habits such as teeth grinding (bruxism), clenching, or biting your fingernails can accelerate the wear and tear of your veneers.
Do veneers require special care?
Maintaining your veneers is simple with regular oral hygiene practices. Treat them as you would your natural teeth by brushing twice daily and flossing daily. Regular dental checkups every six months are essential to ensure your oral health and the longevity of your veneers. Additionally, refrain from biting or chewing on hard objects like ice or pens to prevent potential damage to both your veneers and natural teeth. These habits will help preserve the beauty and functionality of your smile for years to come.
Will insurance cover the cost of veneers?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover veneers since they are considered cosmetic treatments. However, in cases where veneers are necessary for functional reasons, such as repairing a cracked tooth, some plans may offer partial coverage. To understand what your specific plan covers, it’s advisable to consult directly with your insurance provider.
