Dental veneers are tooth-colored shells attached to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are often made from resin, porcelain, or composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth. Dental veneers have many benefits. It improves the quality of your natural teeth and boosts your confidence and self-esteem.
Dental veneers boost your smile and confidence in the following ways:
The longevity of dental veneers depends on the type and material of the veneer. Still, on average, dental veneers can last for 5 to 15 years if properly taken care of and maintained.
Porcelain veneers are very strong, beautiful restorations that can last many years. The margin of the veneer is placed on your enamel with a very tight seal. In the front of your mouth, it is not usual to see decay at these sites in a well-maintained oral cavity. Porcelain veneers can last between 10-20 years. The material is hard, smooth, and durable and does not stain or lose color. It is also stronger as compared to the composite resin veneer.
On the other hand, a composite veneer is a tooth-colored filling material bonded to your tooth structure. They can be done virtually at our dental office in Ocoee with almost no tooth preparation, making them a cost-effective and conservative option. In addition, these veneers are placed in a single visit base on a waxed or a digital design, thus making the result immediately. However, they are more liable to wear and tear, staining, pitting, chipping, and discoloration, making them less durable than a porcelain veneer.
Composite veneers last up to 10 years but may need some touch-up worm over time. Thus you should expect to spend a little on the maintenance of composite veneers.
Getting the most out o your dental veneers and your aesthetic smile comes down to ensuring that you treat them well. Here are some ways recommended by your dentist at 34761
of maintaining the durability and aesthetics of your veneers:
Health insurance does not cover dental veneers as they are considered cosmetic dental procedures. However, teeth veneers cost between $925 and $2500 per tooth, as per the American Dental Association. Composite veneers generally cost $400 to $2000 but can last between 5-7 years. Therefore, traditional veneers are often the most cost-effective option in the long run.
As explained by Dr. Freddy Mezqua, the cost of your veneers majorly depends on factors like the type of veneers you are choosing, the cost of the area, your dentist’s expertise, and the brand mane your dentist has available. For example, it can cost significantly less in a clinic with dentistry students that other dentists supervise on the dental school faculty.
