Why Choose Lifetime Dental of Gainesville For Porcelain Veneers? 

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

Veneers in Gainesville have a higher price than many other cosmetic dentistry treatments. However, it is important to consider what you are getting for your money. Your treatment has the potential to provide you with decades of confident, radiant smiles! Of course, it must be acknowledged that veneers are not right for every budget or every patient. When you come in for your consultation, our team will help you compare the advantages, disadvantages, and cost of each of your cosmetic dentistry options.

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

When you are looking to enhance your smile, you have several options in front of you. Here is a brief comparison of some of the most popular cosmetic treatments:

  • Braces or other orthodontic treatments. Orthodontic treatment typically costs at least a few thousand dollars. They are certainly worth the price if misaligned teeth are threatening your oral health. However, if you want to straighten your teeth purely for aesthetic reasons, you could be undergoing treatment for months — or perhaps a year or longer — and not enjoy any cosmetic benefits beyond straighter teeth.
  • Teeth whitening. Professional teeth whitening is one of the fastest, least expensive, and most popular cosmetic dentistry offerings. Unfortunately, your enamel can incur new stains relatively quickly, and whitening does nothing to alter the shape, size, or positioning of teeth.
  • Direct bonding. Direct bonding, also called dental bonding or cosmetic bonding, is a quick and inexpensive way to alter the appearance of one or two teeth. Its initial results look similar to veneers. However, bonding tends to last for just a few years before replacement becomes necessary.
  • Veneers. For many patients, veneers prove to be an “all in one” cosmetic option. They can disguise discoloration, minor misalignment, and a range of other aesthetic issues. They also have the potential to last for decades. Although they cost a significant amount of money upfront, they offer an excellent long-term value.

How to Make Veneers Affordable

Insurance does not typically cover the cost of veneers in Gainesville. That is because they are considered an elective, rather than a necessary, treatment. Keep in mind, though, that we want you to be able to afford your dream smile, and we are ready to help you figure out its financial aspects.

To begin with, we may encourage you to sign up for the Lifetime Club. This is an in-house savings plan that provides discounts on many services, including some that are not covered by insurance. Its focus on preventive care can also help you maintain your new smile after your veneers are in place.

Additionally, we are proud to partner with CareCredit, a third-party lender that offers financing for medical and dental services. Most patients who apply get approved for a low-interest or no-interest payment plan. You might even be able to choose from multiple plans so you can settle on the one that works best with your monthly budget.

Veneers FAQs

What Happens to the Teeth Under Veneers?

Because enamel is removed from your teeth to accommodate the veneers, many patients worry that their teeth will be harmed in some way. The veneer treatment won’t damage your teeth as only about a hair’s width of enamel is removed and the bonding material used is safe and non-toxic. The veneer shell also covers the entire surface of the front tooth, protecting it from cavities. However, it’s still important to continue brushing your teeth regularly and flossing every day. The tooth structure behind your veneers is still vulnerable to bacteria and plaque. By stepping up your oral hygiene game and moderating the amount of sugar you consume, you’ll keep your smile sparkling, and your veneers secure.

Do Veneers Change Your Face?

Over time, our faces begin to lose their youthful elasticity and our muscle tone begins to decrease. Healthy teeth are essential to keep your lips, cheeks, and jaw looking youthful. Veneers are sturdy and resistant to acid, helping to keep your natural teeth protected and providing some added stability to the tooth’s structure. This can decrease fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, providing some of the same benefits as a facelift, but without surgery. Dr. Her can provide more in-depth information about veneers and their impact on your face during your consultation.

How are Veneers Different Than Crowns?

It may appear at first that veneers and dental crowns provide the same benefits. However, these two treatments are used in vastly different circumstances. On the one hand, porcelain veneers are laid over healthy teeth to improve their appearance. This can repair small dental imperfections and create a better tooth shape. Dental crowns, on the other hand, are used to restore severely damaged or decayed teeth, protecting them from further harm after they have been cleaned and shaped.

Can You Whiten Veneers?

The reason whitening agents work on natural teeth is because they’re porous—full of microscopic holes. The dark pigments from foods and drinks will find their way into these pores and become darker the deeper they sit, allowing more pigments to build on top of them. The chemicals in whitening gel like hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide penetrate the enamel to break up and remove these pigments. That said, veneers aren’t porous because they’re made from a solid porcelain material. So, whitening treatments have no effect on them. If you plan to get teeth whitening done, it’s best to go through the treatment before getting veneers so everything looks brilliant and seamless.
