Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored shells made from durable porcelain that are affixed to the front side of the teeth. At Lakewood Dental Studio, Dr. Leisa Robotham uses this cosmetic treatment to eliminate small gaps between teeth and cover up the appearance of severe staining, misshapen or uneven teeth, and much more.
Porcelain veneers are about as thin as a fingernail.
Dr. Robotham can take your smile from drab to fab! Before suggesting porcelain veneers, she'll ensure that your smile is strong enough to withstand cosmetic dentistry—ensuring there are no signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or oral cancer along the way.
There's more than one way to address cosmetic dental flaws. Dr. Robotham might recommend dental bonding, veneers, or another aesthetic dentistry treatment based on what you'd like to address.
STAIN-RESISTANT
With veneers, you don't have to worry about teeth stains! That's because they are made of strong ceramic material that will keep them looking pearly white for years.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Veneers do not require special care. Generally, we ask that veneer patients attend regular dental cleanings, take care of their teeth at home through brushing and flossing, and avoid using your teeth like tools to open packages.
LASTS FOR 10 TO 15 YEARS
Veneers can completely transform your smile and will last for years before needing to be replaced, as long as they are cared for properly. How long do veneers last? Typically, they require replacement around the 10 to 15 years mark.
MISALIGNMENT OR GAPPING
Veneers can resolve any minor tooth misalignment and gap in your smile. After your teeth are trimmed and covered with veneers to correct these issues, you can enjoy a bright, straight, natural-looking smile.
Keep in mind that veneers can only be used to treat minor misalignment and tooth gapping issues. For more serious teeth alignment complications, your dentist may recommend orthodontic care. Treatment such as Invisalign or braces may be required before cosmetic treatment with veneers.
Porcelain veneers are biocompatible and do not cause an allergic reaction for most people, making them a safe option.
This is an irreversible procedure, so it’s an important consideration before committing to the treatment.
Depending on the material used, veneers can cost between $800 and $1,800 per tooth. Still, Dr. Robotham can give you a direct quote at your initial consultation.
While properly fitted veneers should not change your voice, porcelain veneers with the wrong thickness or length can create a lisp. Dr. Robotham can modify your veneers if you have a speech problem after undergoing this cosmetic dental treatment.
Dental veneers are very popular in Hollywood. Some celebrities who have veneers include Kylie Jenner, Miley Cyrus, and even Jim Carey.
