Porcelain Veneers

Have you ever noticed that many celebrities often seem to have naturally perfect smiles? While some of them might have been born that way, oftentimes they elect to improve their natural smiles with a treatment known as porcelain veneers

This treatment is used to correct all sorts of cosmetic imperfections that your smile may have, like chips or stubborn stains. To learn more about how porcelain veneers in Vancouver City can change your smile for the better, just keep reading below.

Veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain that are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your problem teeth to give them the appearance of being effortlessly perfect. You can think of them as little “masks” for your teeth. They don’t actually get rid of the stains, chips, cracks, and gaps; instead, they simply cover them up. Each veneer is custom made to your exact specifications to ensure it fits within your smile and blends in with the rest of your teeth.

After your initial consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Vancouver city, we, plan on making two additional appointments to get your veneers. During the first of these visits, we will prepare your teeth to receive the veneers by removing an ultra-thin sliver of enamel, about equal in thickness to a contact lens. This will ensure that your veneers won’t bulge out in your smile and will instead look and feel perfectly natural.

After your teeth are sufficiently prepped, we’ll take impressions and send the data off to a dental lab, where a professional ceramist will handcraft your veneers to perfectly match your existing smile. You’ll leave our dental office with a set of temporary veneers to protect your teeth in the meantime. A few weeks later, you’ll return to our dental office when your permanent restorations are ready. We’ll replace your temporaries and voila! We’ll then send you out into the world to enjoy your new and improved smile!

Porcelain veneers come with a whole host of advantages, such as:

They can address multiple cosmetic imperfections with just a single treatment.
Gum tissue tolerates dental porcelain quite well.
Veneers are much more highly resistant to staining than natural tooth enamel.
If you take proper care of your veneers and underlying teeth, your restorations can last upwards of 10-15 years. Of course, they can last longer – in some patients, up to 35 years!
Veneers are custom-made to look like a natural part of your smile. Onlookers shouldn’t even be able to tell that you had dental work done!

Do you have multiple imperfections in your teeth? If so, you’re probably excited to transform your smile with veneers in Vancouver City. Although they’re certainly an excellent cosmetic solution, it’s important to explore all your available options to choose one that’s best for you. Plus, understanding how the cost of veneers compares to other solutions can help you decide it’s right for your needs and goals.

If you have your heart set on getting veneers in Vancouver City, you may not be interested in exploring your other options. However, it’s incredibly important to research different services as they can help you accomplish different things at different price points. Some of these include:

• Dental Bonding – If you have minor flaws in your teeth, this might be the ideal solution for you. It’s a fast, cost-effective, and easy way to address small problems. Although this treatment is affordable, it’ll have to be redone every few years.
• Teeth Whitening – Are you unhappy with the color of your smile? Professional teeth whitening is an excellent way to improve tooth color, giving you a set of pearly whites that you can confidently show off. It’s worth noting that this option can’t alter the shape or position of your teeth, so if those are changes you want to make, you may want to consider another option.
• Braces – Orthodontic treatment is a great way to fix crooked or misaligned teeth. However, they can be costly for a service that doesn’t help with the recoloring and reshaping of teeth.
• Veneers – Even though veneers are more expensive than other solutions, they’re the easiest way to transform your smile. In just a few short appointments, we can change several different aspects of your teeth (i.e., color, shape, position) all at once. Additionally, your results can last well over a decade with proper care and maintenance.

Veneers are considered a form of cosmetic dentistry, which is why they’re generally not covered by dental insurance. Therefore, you’ll need to find an alternative way to pay for your treatment. At Lighthouse Dental, we offer CareCredit financing to help make your dental bills a bit easier to manage. It allows you to split up the overall cost of your treatment into smaller, budget-friendly monthly installments. Since there are multiple low-to-no interest plans to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find one that works perfectly with your budget.
