Financing Makes Veneers Affordable
Insurance companies consider veneers an elective treatment, so they don't qualify for coverage. We offer financing through Cherry, including low-interest and no-interest options based on your credit score. The price varies from one case to the next depending on the scope of care, and your dentist in Sherman, TX, can give you a precise estimate at the exam.
What Can Veneers Address?
A veneer is a thin porcelain shell placed over the front of a tooth. One treatment can change the shape, size, and color of a tooth at once, so a single course of veneers can conceal a variety of issues:
- Yellowed teeth
- Small or short-looking teeth
- A crooked-looking smile
- Chips and cracks
- Stubborn discoloration
- Everyday wear and tear
Dental porcelain resists stains, so with proper care, they can keep looking great for years. In fact, most veneers last more than 15 years before they need replacing.
What to Expect
In Three Visits
1. Consultation
We start by listening to what you want changed, then decide together whether veneers are the right treatment. We offer a range of cosmetic treatments, like bonding and whitening, as alternatives or complements to veneers, depending on your goals.
2. Preparation
We numb your mouth completely, then remove a thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneer so it lies flush. A small wand measures both arches and builds a 3D model in a couple of minutes. We check this information on-screen before it goes to the lab. Temporary veneers protect the teeth in the meantime.
3. Placement
Utah Valley Dental Lab presses the porcelain, which usually takes a couple of weeks. When your veneers are finished, we bond them into place.
Daily Care for Your Veneers
Brush and floss daily and keep up with regular checkups and cleanings, the same routine your natural teeth already need.
A few habits stretch their lifespan further: Go easy on deeply pigmented foods and drinks, cut back on sugar, and stop biting hard objects like pencils or ice. Preparation is permanent, so a prepared tooth will always need a veneer.
Common Veneer Questions
Will my veneers look fake?
Not when you choose the right dentist. Our dental porcelain reflects light much the way natural enamel does, and many people cannot tell the difference. Dr. Grant Smith's method involves removing a small layer of enamel that will allow the veneer to lie flush against the tooth rather than looking bulky.
How long does getting veneers take?
Two appointments, with about two weeks in between while the lab presses your porcelain. If you are aiming to have your veneers in place for a specific event, bring the date to your consultation in Sherman so there is enough runway to finish in time. We fit you with comfortable temporary veneers between visits, so you're never without a full smile while the lab finishes your case.
Do I have to get goopy impressions?
No. A small device from our digital impression system fits easily in your mouth and measures your upper and lower arches. In a couple of minutes it builds a 3D model we can see on screen and confirm before it goes to the lab. The visit is more comfortable and the veneers come back more precisely customized.
Is dental bonding an alternative to veneers?
Sometimes. Bonding shapes tooth-colored resin directly onto the tooth and works well on minor flaws, though it does not last as long as porcelain. We offer both, so an exam in Sherman, TX is the fastest way to find out which one suits your case. Dr. Grant Smith walks you through both during your consultation, so you decide together which one fits your smile.
Does getting veneers hurt?
No. We numb your mouth completely before any enamel is removed, so the preparation visit is comfortable from start to finish. The digital impression system also means no goopy trays, just a quick scan of your arches.
