Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They mimic the natural look of enamel and can dramatically improve the color, shape, and alignment of your smile.

The cost varies based on your location and the number of veneers needed, but prices typically range from $900 to $2,500 per tooth. Many practices offer flexible payment plans. At Avana Smile Design you can get 18 veneers for $5000 and we offer financing options like CareCredit and Cherry, so you can pay over time.

While they may be a significant investment, many patients find the long-lasting cosmetic benefits well worth it.

Porcelain veneers can correct a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:

  • Discolored or stained teeth
  • Worn down or chipped teeth
  • Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
  • Gaps between teeth

The process is generally minimally invasive and comfortable. Local anesthesia may be used during tooth preparation to ensure a pain-free experience.

The process usually involves:

  1. Initial consultation and smile assessment
  2. Tooth preparation (removing a small amount of enamel)
  3. Taking impressions
  4. Custom veneer creation in a dental lab
  5. Final placement and bonding

Porcelain veneers are made from medical-grade ceramic, specifically a type of dental porcelain designed to mimic the natural translucency and sheen of tooth enamel. Here’s a breakdown of the material and why it’s used:

Properties:

  • Highly durable
  • Stain-resistant
  • Translucent, offering a natural look
  • Biocompatible (safe for use in the body)

Popular Types of Porcelain Used

  1. Feldspathic Porcelain
    • Hand-layered for a highly aesthetic, lifelike result
    • Best for detailed customization
    • More delicate; suited for cosmetic zones (e.g., front teeth)
  2. Lithium Disilicate (e.g., IPS e.max®)
    • Stronger and more fracture-resistant
    • Ideal for both front and back teeth
    • Can be milled for faster production with digital tools
  3. Zirconia (sometimes used for veneers)
    • Extremely strong, but less translucent than traditional porcelain
    • More common in crowns and bridges than veneers

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years, and sometimes even longer. Good oral hygiene and routine dental visits will help extend their lifespan.

Many patients say yes! Porcelain veneers can transform your smile, boost confidence, and provide long-term cosmetic improvements. However, it’s important to weigh the benefits against the cost and long-term commitment.

Yes, when done by an experienced cosmetic dentist, veneers look very natural and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. Initially, they may feel slightly different, but most patients adjust quickly.

While porcelain veneers are generally safe, potential downsides include:

  • Tooth sensitivity (especially to hot/cold)
  • Irreversible enamel removal
  • Possibility of chipping or cracking
    It’s essential to discuss these risks with your dentist before starting treatment.

Absolutely. Once your veneers are bonded, you can eat and drink as you normally would. It’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods to prolong their life.

It depends. A recurring theme is cautioning younger individuals against getting veneers too early. Younger patients should be cautious, as veneers typically need to be replaced every 10–15 years. Starting young could mean multiple replacements over a lifetime. Your dentist can help you decide based on your age, dental health, and goals.

Yes, depending on your needs. Alternatives include:

  • Composite bonding
  • Teeth whitening
  • Orthodontic treatment (e.g., Invisalign)
    These options may be less invasive and more affordable for minor cosmetic concerns.
  • Composite Veneers

Most insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like veneers. However, financing options may be available through your dental provider.

Ideal candidates have good oral health, sufficient tooth enamel, and realistic expectations. A consultation with a cosmetic dentist can confirm if veneers are right for you.

No, porcelain veneers cannot be whitened using traditional teeth whitening methods (like bleaching or whitening trays). This is because porcelain is a non-porous, stain-resistant ceramic—while it resists staining better than natural teeth, it also does not respond to peroxide-based whitening agents.

What to Know:

  • Before getting veneers: Your dentist may recommend whitening your natural teeth first to match the brightest, most natural color possible for the veneers.
  • After getting veneers: If your natural teeth change color over time (from coffee, wine, smoking, etc.), you may need a touch-up whitening for surrounding teeth—but not the veneers themselves.
  • Staining on veneers: Although rare, superficial staining on the surface of porcelain veneers (from foods or smoking) can sometimes be removed with professional polishing, not bleaching.

To maintain porcelain veneers, practice excellent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste, flossing regularly, and visiting your dentist every six months for cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects, limit staining foods and drinks like coffee and red wine, and consider wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth. Although veneers are stain-resistant and durable, the underlying teeth and surrounding areas still require care to prevent decay and discoloration. With proper maintenance, your porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or longer.
