How do you put a price tag on happiness and peace of mind? It’s hard to quantify those feelings like we calculate the cost of other purchases. For example, the price of a vacation might include tangible costs like plane tickets and hotel rooms. But how do you quantify abstract rewards like having new experiences or finally visiting a place you’ve always wanted to go? For many dental patients in the greater Pittsburgh area, having a uniform, bright, and brilliant smile comes with the intangible benefits of increased confidence, lower anxiety, and more enjoyable social situations. All of those are hard to put a price on, but sometimes, the intangible rewards are worth the most to us. If those kinds of benefits sound appealing, we have good news! Porcelain veneers from Brockley Dental Center can provide the smile of your dreams, and with our flexible financing options, pricing is manageable for budgets of all sizes.
Understanding Porcelain Veneers
If you’re looking for the fastest and most dramatic way to enhance your smile, dental veneers are the way to go. They’re shells made of porcelain or composite resin that we bond to the front of your teeth to cover cosmetic imperfections such as stains, gaps, chips, and misshapen teeth.
For the veneers to seamlessly match your natural teeth, we’ll work with you to pick the right number and shade of veneers for your smile. We’ll need to remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth so the veneers sit flush with your smile. This makes veneers a non-reversible process, but porcelain veneers are durable and can last 15 years or more with proper care.
Why Choose Veneers?
Many think of porcelain veneers as a “vanity project” for celebrities who want to look beautiful on the red carpet. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! Yes, veneers will enhance your smile. But looking good on the outside is less important than how you feel on the inside. Think of how confident you are when you wear your favorite outfit or how excited you are to show off a new haircut. With veneers, you can experience those same feelings every day! If you’re one of the many Americans who don’t like to smile in pictures because you hate how it looks, now you’ll be flashing the widest grin of everyone in the frame.
The Porcelain Veneers Process
The timeline for veneers at Brockley Dental Center typically involves four visits:
- Diagnostic appointment: At your first visit, you’ll meet with Dr. Brockley or Dr. Gildersleeve to discuss your needs and preferences. We’ll examine your mouth, take impressions of your teeth, and take photos and X-rays to help plan your veneer treatment.
- Tooth preparation: When you return, we’ll carefully remove some enamel from your teeth and apply an etching solution to help with bonding. Once the etching is complete, we’ll use temporary veneers to give you a “trial smile” while we create your veneers.
- Veneer fitting: Once your personalized veneers are ready, we’ll remove the temporary set and see how the new veneers fit. If everything fits correctly, we’ll cement them to your teeth.
- Final check: Your last visit involves a bite check to see that your veneers are properly aligned and functioning as expected.
Once the process is complete, you can care for your veneers like your natural teeth. We still recommend regular dental checkups every six months to allow us to keep an eye on how they’re doing.
The Pricing of Porcelain Veneers
One of the biggest concerns with dental and medical procedures is cost. At Brockley Dental Center, we strive to make quality dental care affordable to all our patients. While porcelain veneers aren’t usually covered by dental insurance, our staff will work with your provider to ensure maximum results. We also partner with outside financing companies like CareCredit, who provide affordable monthly payment options. This allows our porcelain veneers to be accessible to a wider range of patients.
