What is the Process for Getting Veneers?

During your initial appointment, your cosmetic dentist in Tappan will sit down with you to discuss your desired goals. Once you’ve established what you want your smile to look like, they will begin to examine your teeth, gums, and facial structure to determine if you qualify for porcelain veneers. Once given the green light, you will have a small portion of the enamel removed from the surface of the teeth you wish to have covered by veneers.

This process makes it possible for the veneer to lay flat against the tooth and for the bonding agent to properly adhere. Once they’re finished, they will take impressions of your teeth, which will be sent off to a dental lab where technicians will begin to build your custom-made veneers.

On average, it can take a few weeks before your permanent veneers to be finalized and ready for placement, so in the meantime, you will have temporary ones put into place.

Once your new veneers are ready, you’ll return for your second and final appointment to have us remove the temporaries. Using a special bonding agent and low-UV light, we will carefully fix each veneer to your natural tooth, making sure that it lays flat and looks completely natural.

After a final polishing, you will get to see a fully transformed, more beautiful smile.

Cost of Porcelain Veneers

Every patient is different, so the price you will pay for porcelain veneers might be quite different than another individual. The reasons for this include:

• The number of veneers: You can expect to pay more if you plan to have all of your teeth covered with veneers.
• Additional cosmetic services: If you are looking to have your teeth whitened or gums reshaped, this can add to the total cost of your treatment.

It’s highly unlikely that your dental insurance will pay for your cosmetic treatment; however, if you need to break up the cost of your dental work, talk to us about dental financing and getting set up on a payment plan.
