Veneers Weatherford

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are super-thin shells designed to cover multiple aesthetic flaws in your teeth at the same time. Because they’re essentially little “masks” for your teeth, they’re considered one of the most comprehensive cosmetic dentistry treatments we offer.

Dr. Mulkey uses veneers to completely revitalize your smile in just two visits to our office. Because veneers are made of natural-looking materials, they resemble tooth enamel almost perfectly. In addition, they can be used to correct a wide variety of aesthetic imperfections, including:

• Chipped or cracked enamel
• Short or stubby teeth
• Minor gaps between teeth
• Slightly crooked or rotated teeth
• Stubborn stains

How Veneers Can Transform Your Smile

After you’ve attended a consultation with Dr. Mulkey to determine whether veneers are the right treatment for you, receiving them generally only takes two appointments.

First, one Dr. Mulkey numbs the area around your tooth to prevent you from experiencing discomfort during the procedure. A thin layer of enamel is shaved off from the affected teeth; this ensures there is plenty of room in your mouth for the veneers. Then, we take impressions of your teeth and send that data to a dental lab, where your veneers will be crafted to match your surrounding teeth and complement your facial shape and skin tone.

We may place temporary veneers to protect your teeth until the permanent restorations are ready. Two or three weeks later, you’ll return to our office, and we’ll install your final veneers.

Benefits of Veneers

One of the primary benefits of veneers is their versatility. Instead of spending time and money on multiple procedures to treat your cosmetic imperfections, veneers can be your all-in-one solution. Additionally, the materials used are not quite as porous as tooth enamel. This means they’re less likely to absorb the staining molecules in the foods and drinks you consume, making them more highly resistant to discoloration. Lastly, veneers are quite durable. Provided you take good care of your oral health with daily brushing and flossing and regular dental checkups, your veneers can last 10+ years before they need to be replaced.

Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?

Even if you have your heart set on getting veneers, you should explore all your cosmetic dentistry options to determine the right one for your unique needs. Each one can help you accomplish different things for your look, all at different price points. Some of these services include:

• Direct Bonding – If you have minor flaws in your teeth, you may want to consider direct bonding. It’s a cheap, fast, and convenient way to address aesthetic imperfections. However, your treatment will need to be redone every few years.
• Teeth Whitening – Professional teeth whitening treatment is a relatively fast and inexpensive way to improve the color of your smile. Keep in mind that it can only change tooth color, not the shape or position of your teeth. If those are changes you want to make, you’ll have to consider another option.
• Braces – Although braces can straighten teeth in dramatic ways, they can be quite costly. You may end up spending several thousands of dollars, which is a lot for a treatment that doesn’t help with the color or shape of your teeth.
• Veneers – This may not be the cheapest option, but it’s certainly the easiest way to completely transform every aspect of your smile. In just a few appointments, you can have the flawless grin you’ve always wanted!

How to Make Veneers Affordable

Since veneers are a form of cosmetic dentistry, they’re not covered by dental insurance. That means you’ll have to find an alternative way to pay for your treatment. Luckily, we’ve got you covered. At Cosmetic & Family Dentistry of Weatherford, we offer CareCredit financing to make your dental bills much easier to manage. It allows you to split up the total cost of your treatment into smaller, budget-friendly monthly installments. Additionally, there are multiple low-to-no-interest plans to choose from, meaning you’re guaranteed to find something that’ll fit your budget perfectly.
