Almost everyone has at least one frustrating dental defect they would like to fix, and some people have extensive flaws like chips, cracks, gaps, and stains. Thankfully, veneers are a versatile and effective cosmetic dental treatment that can conceal many imperfections and completely transform the smile. Here’s a quick guide to how veneers work and how the skilled team at Dr. Rosenbaum & Associates can help you achieve the grin of your dreams.

Veneers are thin ceramic shells designed to mimic the strength, appearance, and texture of natural dental structures, and they can be used to reshape teeth and conceal defects like chips, cracks, stains, and gaps. This treatment can address extensive dental imperfections and beautify troubled teeth, and the appliances can last up to fifteen years before needing replacement if they receive excellent care.

Veneers are placed through a specialized process that begins with scheduling a consultation at our Modesto office. During this meeting, our dentist will carefully evaluate your oral health and determine the best way to achieve your goals for your smile. If you are approved for the treatment, you’ll be scheduled for at least two appointments. During the first, our skilled dental team will carefully remove a small amount of enamel from the teeth to make room for the veneers and place temporary restorations upon them for protection. Since enamel does not grow back, the treated teeth will need to wear veneers for protection for life.
After a skilled technician crafts your veneers based on precise digital impressions taken at our office, you’ll come back for a second appointment. Then, we will carefully remove your temporary veneers, fix your permanent ones in place, and make any final adjustments. You’ll then be ready to show off your gorgeous new smile.

Veneers offer a range of incredible benefits such as:

Veneers are usually considered elective cosmetic procedures, so they are rarely covered by dental insurance. However, your treatment may receive partial coverage if it is used to repair a tooth damaged by injury or decay, and we’ll be happy to help you verify what your plan will pay for before your procedure. We also partner with CareCredit and iCredit to offer our patients flexible payment plans that can break their bills into easy monthly installments, and we’ll be happy to help you understand your payment and financing options during your consultation at our Modesto office.
