Cost of Veneers

Veneers are a custom procedure, so the cost will vary from one patient to the next. However, the restorations themselves are usually priced at $1,059 per tooth at our Vicksburg, MS, practice. While porcelain veneers do require an investment, especially if you are interested in treating several teeth, most patients find them worth the expense. There are no alternatives that give the same natural-looking and durable results, which can last well over a decade with proper care and maintenance. Furthermore, our practice accepts flexible financing through CareCredit®, which can reduce your initial out-of-pocket expenses and make treatment costs much more manageable. 

Am I A Candidate for Treatment?

Vicksburg patients considering dental veneers will first undergo a consultation with our dentist to make sure they are a good fit for treatment. While most people qualify, there are a few factors that can affect your candidacy:

Oral Health

Patients should have good oral health before undergoing cosmetic dental procedures. Dr. Measells will first resolve conditions such as tooth decay or periodontal disease to restore your candidacy.

Commitment

Dental veneers will permanently change your teeth and need to be periodically replaced in the future. Patients unsure about long-term commitment may be better suited for dental bonding or other reversible treatments. 

Tooth Enamel

Since veneers do require removing a small layer of enamel, patients need to have a sufficient amount of this outer tissue. If you don’t have enough enamel, we can recommend alternative treatments such as a dental crown. 

What Veneers Can Do For You

Patients turn to our dentist in Vicksburg for veneers that can correct and conceal an array of conditions. We’ve put together some of the most popular reasons this cosmetic solution works wonders for smile aesthetics and self-image:

Give You a Bright, White Smile

Everyone wants a white, healthy-looking smile, but tooth discoloration and dental stains may be standing in the way. Thanks to veneers, you can cover up discolored teeth. Dental veneers are naturally stain-resistant, meaning you can show off your bright smile for longer.

Correct Misshapen Teeth

If misshapen teeth are holding you back from the straight smile you want, dental veneers can come to the rescue. Our veneers can reshape your teeth to make them appear more aligned — all without the process of getting braces or Invisalign®.

Do Away With a Gummy Smile

Some patients have smaller teeth that end up over-pronouncing their gums every time they smile wide. If this is making you feel less than confident in your smile, veneers can help your teeth appear larger and give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Carefully Planned Treatment

Ensuring Your Satisfaction With Wax-Ups

We understand that making permanent changes to your teeth is a big commitment. To put you at ease and allow you to preview the results of your veneers, we will carefully plan every detail of your treatment with the help of wax-up models. These are life-size physical representations of your teeth that will show you exactly what your dental veneers will look like. This takes the guesswork and anxiety out of cosmetic treatment and allows you to move forward with porcelain veneers with confidence that you will be happy with the results. Find out what your new smile will look like by scheduling an appointment at our Vicksburg, MS, practice today. 

A Closer Look at the Procedure

Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry solution that provides dramatic results in just two to three office visits. However, it’s important to understand that if you have issues such as gum disease, these will need to be resolved first.

Once the tooth has been prepared, your custom-made porcelain veneer is placed over the front surface to achieve an appearance of health and beauty.

Porcelain Veneer Treatment Timeline

Here is what you can expect during your veneer treatment with our dentist in Vicksburg, MS:

Our porcelain veneers are hand-crafted by specially trained lab technicians to achieve incredibly natural-looking aesthetics customized to your smile.  

Consultation

All patients will first meet with our dentist for an initial exam. During this visit, the dentist will assess your teeth and gums and discuss your goals for treatment. We encourage you to explain the specific tooth problems you wish to see changed, and even bring in photos of what you would like your smile to look like.

Tooth Prep

We will prepare the teeth you have selected to treat for veneers. Our dentist will remove a tiny layer of enamel from the teeth, which will help the veneers achieve a natural appearance.

Impressions

Next, our dentist will take precise impressions of your smile to design the custom-fitting dental veneers. The impressions and designs are sent to our trusted dental lab to be hand-crafted in a way that looks indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

Placement

In a few weeks, the porcelain veneers will be ready, and you will return to our Vicksburg office for the last steps of treatment. Our dentist checks the look and fit of the dental veneer against your tooth and makes any necessary adjustments. Finally, he bonds the veneer in place using special dental cement.

Consider a Full Smile Makeover

While porcelain veneers can achieve incredible smile transformations, they might not be able to fix all the concerns you have with your teeth. Sometimes, other techniques are needed to reach all your goals. Fortunately, Dr. Measells can combine multiple cosmetic and other procedures into a comprehensive treatment plan known as a smile makeover. 

If you are already considering treatment with porcelain veneers, it is a good time to think about a comprehensive approach. A smile makeover can enhance your smile in fewer appointments than a series of individual treatments would require. This can also save you money on materials and sedation costs.

Maintaining Your New Smile

To get the most out of your porcelain veneers, we recommend you follow these simple tips for maintenance:

Be Careful What You Chew

While porcelain is strong, your dental veneers are not immune to cracks or damage under pressure. To avoid breaking them, don’t bite down on anything particularly hard or sticky.

Practice Good Oral Hygiene

In general, your veneers should be cared for in the same way as your natural teeth. Brush twice daily and floss at least once each day to maintain your oral health.

Avoid Staining Your Teeth

To keep your smile a bright, consistent shade of white, avoid foods and drinks that are known to stain the enamel. While your veneers are stain-resistant, your natural teeth are not. If you notice any discoloration down the line, we can correct the problem with occasional whitening treatments. 

If you have any questions about maintaining your porcelain veneers, please contact our Vicksburg practice for assistance. 

Alternative Treatment Options 

If you are unsure whether veneers are right for you, don’t worry. We will help you choose the right treatment based on your goals and other factors. If veneers aren’t the best way to realize your dream smile, we also offer: 

Dental Bonding

If you are not ready to commit to veneers, dental bonding may be a great alternative. Bonding is applied directly to the surface of your enamel to conceal flaws without modifying the structure of the tooth. Many choose bonding as a way to determine if they would eventually like to invest in veneers.

Teeth Whitening

Some patients come to us with hopes of rejuvenating their smiles without the need for an involved treatment. If you are looking for a subtle but effective cosmetic solution, teeth whitening may be the right option for you. Teeth whitening creates a more youthful-looking smile after just one short appointment.
