Veneers – Ocoee, FL

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin shells typically made from durable porcelain or ceramic, which reflect light similarly to natural enamel. These restorations are customized to match the shade, size, and shape of your teeth, and are then cemented to their front surfaces. They can be carefully positioned to hide one or several aesthetic concerns. such as:

• Cracks
• Chips
• Dental Discoloration
• Mild Gaps
• Slight Misalignments

Furthermore, they’re less porous than natural enamel, so they’re less likely to become stained, and they can’t develop cavities. They’re also coated with a glaze durable enough to resist some damage and discoloration as well as help shield the underlying tooth. 

The Process of Getting Veneers

It might vary slightly depending on your individual circumstances, but usually it takes at least a couple of visits over a few weeks to get veneers. You must start by consulting one of our providers to determine whether you’re a good candidate. Our team will examine your mouth and treat any pre-existing problems, like cavities or gum disease, that could interfere with your cosmetics.

Then, if we verify this is the best way to help you achieve your smile goals, we’ll need to prepare your teeth so the shells fit correctly. This involves numbing the area with a local anesthetic and/or providing sedation to help you feel comfortable, followed by the removal of a small amount of enamel. Next, we’ll make impressions that will be sent to local dental labs (or, in some cases, our in-house dental lab) to begin designing your restorations.

It can sometimes take a week or two for the final product to be delivered, but we can provide a temporary set to safeguard your smile while you wait. When they arrive, we’ll schedule a final fitting and cement them in place before polishing your recently enhanced smile until it shines.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

Most dental insurance companies consider veneers to be a cosmetic service that’s meant to improve your looks more than your oral health, and so they don’t cover the cost. However, there may be exceptions, such as when this treatment is deemed medically necessary to protect your smile, so it’s worth checking the details of your policy.

If you’re uninsured or your plan doesn’t include this service, don’t be discouraged. Our team in Ocoee believes everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile they can feel proud of, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans through third-party vendors, Cherry, Proceed Finance, or CareCredit. If your application is approved, you can divide your total invoice into more manageable installments over a designated period.
