Dental Veneer

If you are considering getting porcelain veneers, you have come to the right place. That’s why your Boise dentist at Summit Dental Group would like to provide you with everything you need to know about this type of dental procedure. We will talk about what they are, how they work, and who is a good candidate for them. By the end of this article, you will have a better understanding of porcelain veneers and whether or not they are right for you.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. They are also used to protect the surface of your teeth from damage.

How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?

Porcelain veneers are placed on the front surfaces of your teeth. They are bonded to your natural teeth with a special dental adhesive. The porcelain veneers are made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Once they are in place, they will look like your natural teeth.

Who is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a good option for people who want to improve the appearance of their teeth and smile. They are also a good option for people who have damaged teeth. If you are considering getting porcelain veneers, it is important to talk to your dentist about whether or not they are right for you.

Do Porcelain Veneers Hurt?

Porcelain veneers are a dental procedure. Like any other procedures, there is some pain and discomfort associated with them. However, the pain and discomfort are usually minimal and go away within a few days.

Are There Any Side Effects of Porcelain Veneers?

There are some side effects that you may experience after getting porcelain veneers. These side effects include:

  • Tooth sensitivity: You may experience tooth sensitivity after getting porcelain veneers. This is because your teeth are exposed to the air for an extended period of time during the procedure. The sensitivity should go away within a few days.
  • Gum irritation: You may also experience gum irritation after getting porcelain veneers. This is because the porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth with a special adhesive. The irritation should go away within a few days.
  • Jaw pain: You may also experience jaw pain after getting porcelain veneers. This is because your mouth is open for an extended period of time during the procedure. The jaw pain should go away within a few days.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?

The cost of porcelain veneers varies depending on a number of factors, such as the number of veneers you need and the dentist you go to. In general, porcelain veneers cost between $500 and $1500 per tooth.

Porcelain veneers are not typically covered by insurance. However, some dental plans may cover a portion of the cost. It is important to talk to your insurance provider about whether or not they will cover the cost of porcelain veneers before you get them.

Are There Any Alternative Treatment Options?

There are some alternative treatment options to porcelain veneers. These options include:

  • Dental bonding: Dental bonding is a procedure in which your dentist uses a tooth-colored resin to improve the appearance of your teeth.
  • Tooth whitening: Tooth whitening is a procedure in which your dentist uses bleaching products to make your teeth whiter.
  • Crowns: Crowns are dental caps that are placed over your natural teeth. They can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or metal.
  • Inlays and Onlays: Inlays and onlays are dental procedures in which your dentist uses tooth-colored materials to repair damage to your teeth.
