FAQ
Get Your Questions Answered
What are veneers?
A dental veneer is a cosmetic treatment that alters the appearance of a tooth by covering cracks, chips, discoloration and other imperfections. The veneer acts as a shell to cover the entire visible surface of your tooth, and itis a way to cosmetically enhance the aesthetics of a smile in terms of size, shape, shade and texture of the teeth.
What's the process for getting veneers?
It begins with a consultation appointment at our Scottsdale location, and the entire process takes about 4-6 weeks. Read more about the process for getting porcelain veneers here.
How do I know how many veneers I need?
The number of veneers you need varies greatly on a number of factors. Read our article about this topic here.
What’s the difference between veneers vs crowns?
There are many differences between dental veneers and dental crowns, but the primary difference is that veneers only cover the front surface of the tooth and are used to improve the look of your smile; whereas, dental crowns cover the entire surface of the tooth to aid in strengthening and repairing teeth. For patients who do not have issues like decay or trauma, veneers are usually a great option to optimize the aesthetics of their smile.
What’s the difference between veneers vs dental bonding?
Patients who are considering veneers may also look into options like dental bonding. Dental bonding, also called composite veneers or resin veneers, is amore conservative option and may be the right choice if you have a small chip or shade inconsistency. However, dental bonding may not last as long as porcelain veneers, and it can dull or stain quickly. A porcelain veneer gives you more control of the shade, shape, shine, longevity and won't stain. Schedule a consultation to find out which treatment is right for you.
How do I achieve natural-looking veneers?
To make porcelain veneers look like natural teeth, Dr. Alpers can add a small amount of translucency to the bottom of the veneer. It’s also important to consider factors like selecting a natural shade and shape of the veneer to ensure you get natural-looking veneers. We’re experts on creating natural-looking veneers, and we’re here to walk you through the process to ensure your veneers meet your smile goals.
Can I have veneers on the front two teeth?
Yes, it is 100% possible to have veneers on your two front teeth. Contrary to common belief, it's achievable and – sometimes preferable – to have a few number of veneers, though it requires advanced skill and attention to detail from the dentist placing the veneers. Read more about this topic here.
What is the cost of dental veneers?
You can expect a veneer to cost about $1,500 to $2,000 per veneer. As you weigh the cost, make sure to factor in the cost over the course of its lifetime, which can be 10 to 20 years. You should see it as an investment in yourself!
How much does a full mouth of veneers cost?
Since most people who want a complete refresh of their smile choose to get 6-8 veneers on their upper front teeth, the cost is typically somewhere between $9,000 to $16,000. About 10% of the time, patients also choose to do veneers on their lower teeth. In these cases, it would cost between $18,000 to $32,000 for both upper and lower veneers (6-8 veneers each), which accounts for a full mouth of veneers.
How long do veneers last?
A general rule of thumb is that porcelain veneers need to be replaced every ten years. At our Scottsdale office, we use high quality porcelain, so many of our patients are able to have veneers that last twenty years or more.
