Making Your Dream Smile Come to Life
Not everyone is born with a perfect set of teeth. Even if that weren’t the case, it’s completely normal for your smile to show some wear and tear after years of talking, chewing, and eating. We understand these imperfections can take a toll on your self-confidence, which is why we’re happy to offer high-quality veneers in Dallas! With this cosmetic service, we can transform your smile into the one you deserve. To find out of this treatment is right for you, continue reading or give our office a call today!
What are Veneers?
A veneer is an ultra-thin shell of dental porcelain that is placed over the front-facing portion of a tooth. It’s able to completely transform the shape, size, and color of your pearly whites. Whether you have one noticeable flaw or multiple imperfections, veneers in Dallas are an excellent solution!
They’re often used to address issues like:
- Chipped or damaged teeth
- Stubborn stains or discoloration
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that are naturally small or misshapen
- Teeth that are slightly misaligned or crooked
The Process of Getting Veneers
The first step on your journey towards a new smile is a consultation with our team at Avion Dental & Orthodontics. During your appointment, we’ll conduct an oral examination and check for underlying issues to determine whether or not veneers in Dallas are right for you. If they are, we can move forward with the process.
In preparation for veneer placement, our team will remove a thin layer of enamel to ensure the veneers fit seamlessly. We’ll make sure your results won’t look bulky or unnatural. Afterward, we’ll take impressions of your mouth and send them off to a dental laboratory for the creation of your final veneers. You’ll wear temporary ones until your permanent restorations are ready.
After about a week or two, you’ll return to the office for the attachment of your veneers. Our team will bond them into place and make any final adjustments as needed. We’ll make sure your bite feels comfortable and that you’re pleased with your results! You’ll be ready to show off your smile that very same day.
The Benefits of Veneers
By choosing to get veneers in Dallas, you can expect to reap some incredible benefits. Some of those include:
- Natural-looking and long-lasting results (over a decade with proper maintenance)
- Minimally invasive cosmetic treatment
- Easy maintenance
- Quick improvement in the color, size, shape, and proportion of your teeth
- Results in as little as two appointments
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Having learned the basics, you likely want to know the cost of veneers. Fair enough – treatment won’t work if it exceeds your budget. In truth, though, veneers’ price varies from patient to patient. You’d have to consult our office to get an exact treatment estimate. Still, you can count on Avion Dental to guide you through the financial details. Put another way, our team will review the available cosmetic choices and payment options with you. To learn more, just keep reading or book a visit for the details!
Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?
We at Avion Dental offer excellent veneers, but note that we also have other cosmetic services. Furthermore, each of these procedures has a distinct price and aesthetic effect. As such, it’d be wise to compare them before settling on veneers. Here, then, are the available options:
- Cosmetic Bonding – Using tooth-colored resin, cosmetic bonding hides minor smile flaws on teeth. Its features also make it a quick, low-cost option. However, the downside is that it requires frequent touch-ups; its results aren’t long-lasting.
- Teeth Whitening – Per its name, teeth whitening brightens your smile with a special gel. More specifically, it removes tooth stains due to bleaching your enamel. Whitening is thus a popular option, as it helps tooth color at only a moderate price.
- Metal-Free Restorations – Unlike the metal ones of old, metal-free fillings and crowns both protect teeth and help them look better. They’re usually tooth-colored and blend with a patient’s smile seamlessly. Do keep in mind, though, that these features make the restorations a tad pricey.
- Porcelain Veneers – Veneers are thin shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Once cemented onto teeth, they hide a wide range of smile flaws – chips, cracks, stains, etc. That said, the shells can also be rather expensive.
How to Make Veneers Affordable
In general, most dental plans don’t cover veneers. They typically view the shells as purely cosmetic and thus “medically unnecessary.” On the other hand, exceptions exist; a policy may cover veneers if they protect a damaged tooth. So, confirm your benefits before settling on your dental treatment. Our office will happily assist if you need help with that step.
Even without insurance, it’s possible to make veneers affordable. Here at Avion Dental, for example, we offer the following aids:
- VIP Plan – For a flat yearly fee, this option fully covers routine care and offers a sizable discount on non-preventive services.
- Flexible Financing – By working with CareCredit, our practice lets patients pay for procedures in monthly installments. That means you could cover the cost of veneers gradually, not all at once.
Veneers really can help your smile without “breaking the bank.” To learn how that works, book a consultation with us soon. We’ll make sure you don’t regret it!
Veneers FAQs
Are Veneers Permanent?
Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic treatment. This is because a small amount of enamel is removed to help the veneer bond securely and look natural. While the enhancements themselves may need to be replaced after 10–15 years due to wear or damage, the preparation is irreversible. So, once you have veneers, you’ll always need to have the treated teeth covered.
At Avion Dental & Orthodontics, we use durable materials like porcelain to ensure long-lasting results. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, your veneers can stay beautiful for many years.
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Veneers?
Veneers are strong, but that doesn’t mean you can crunch into a jawbreaker or munch on ice at your leisure. To keep your smile safe, it’s best to be careful around and limit:
- Very hard foods (like hard candies or popcorn kernels)
- Sticky treats (like taffy or chewy caramel)
- Excessively crunchy snacks (like raw nuts or chips)
In addition, if you’re trying to keep your enhancements as bright as possible, it’s best to limit stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and snacks full of food dye. If you’re not sure whether your favorite treats are suspect, give us a call. We’ll give you personalized tips to help your veneers last and look great for years to come.
Can Veneers Be Used for Bite Corrections?
Veneers are mostly cosmetic, so they’re not the ideal fix for major misalignments. However, they can improve the appearance of mild bite problems like small gaps, slight alignment issues, or uneven edges. By reshaping the visible surfaces of your teeth, your dentist can give your teeth the appearance of symmetry, without complex treatment.
If you're dealing with a more complex bite issue (like overbite or crossbite), we may recommend orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign. At our Dallas dental practice, we’ll evaluate your bite and help you decide whether veneers are the right option or if another treatment might work better.
Can You Whiten Veneers?
Unfortunately, no, veneers can’t be whitened like natural teeth. Porcelain and composite materials are stain-resistant, but they don’t respond to whitening agents. If your veneers start to discolor, we can attempt to clean them for you. However, if the staining won’t come off, the only way to restore their luster is by replacing them.
To keep them bright longer, try to limit dark beverages or rinse after drinking. Good oral hygiene will also help prevent the accumulation of surface stains. If you’re unhappy with the color of your current veneers, schedule an appointment with our team, and we can explore options to refresh your smile.
