Porcelain Veneers – Grand Prairie, TX

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

In recent years, veneers have become extremely popular for their ability to fix everything from discoloration to chips with one durable, life-like, long-lasting cosmetic treatment option. But what exactly are they? In short, they are a thin shell designed to adhere to the visible surface of your smile, hiding stains, cracks, and other imperfections. They are custom-made for each patient, ensuring the veneers blend in seamlessly to fix one problematic tooth or provide a complete smile makeover!

The Procedure for Getting Porcelain Veneers

Your journey to achieving your smile goals with veneers starts with an initial consultation with Dr. Desai. During your appointment, she will ask you a few questions to better understand what you want to fix about your smile and conduct a thorough exam. If any untreated issues are detected, like gum disease, then she will put a treatment plan in place to restore your oral health before moving forward in the process. However, if your teeth and gums are in tip-top shape, then she will schedule your second visit, which is dedicated to preparing the tooth, picking the shade of your new teeth, taking impressions, and placing your temporary veneers. At your last appointment, you and Dr. Desai will check the fit and color of your permanent set before she bonds the veneers permanently. Then, you can walk out of our dental office with a flawless smile that turns heads for all the right reasons!

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Understanding the Cost of Porcelain Veneers

As you can imagine, there are a multitude of factors that influence the cost of veneers. For example, how many teeth are you fixing? Do you need any treatment completed beforehand, like periodontal therapy? Fortunately, you can easily find out the exact cost by scheduling an appointment with Dr. Desai! From there, she can conduct a dental exam, discuss your unique dental needs, and provide you with the cost of treatment. That way, you can get the correct answer for your unique smile!

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

Veneers are often thought to cost a pretty penny, but you don't have to be rich or famous to invest in a flawless smile. Many factors affect the cost of veneers, but they can be the most affordable solution. Dr. Desai will create the personalized plan you need to turn the smile of your dreams into reality without spending your life’s savings.

Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What's Right For Me? 

Every mouth is as unique as fingerprints, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment to create a stunning smile. You have more options than ever before to address common imperfections. Each option has a different cost, timeline, and life expectancy. Dr. Desai will examine your mouth and learn more about your preferences to determine which procedures may be right for you, which can include:

• Braces: Whether metal braces or clear aligners, orthodontics can fix the most complex bite and alignment issues. They can be partially covered under dental insurance, but braces can be a long commitment if you only need minor adjustments.
• Teeth Whitening: Surface and age-related stains can be improved by up to 8 shades using a professional whitening system. Your results can last for many months or years with the right maintenance.
• Direct Bonding: A composite resin provides a quick fix for many minor issues, like chips or decay. It can be covered by dental insurance and can last for 5 to 10 years before needing to be replaced.
• Veneers: Attaching veneers to the teeth visible when smiling corrects many problems at once using a minimally invasive method. You won't have to pay for multiple procedures to address chips, stains, gaps, or other issues. You can save time and money using a solution that can last for a decade or more.

After reviewing all your options, your cosmetic dentist will create a personalized strategy to enhance your smile. A member of our team will review your estimate, so you'll know exactly what you’ll have to pay before committing to anything.

A member of our office will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize any applicable benefits.
