So What Are Veneers?
Veneers are extremely thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to mask various cosmetic imperfections. Our dentist customizes your veneers to match the natural shape and color of your teeth so they blend in seamlessly with your smile.
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.

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.

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:
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.
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.
Should I Replace My Veneers?
While the porcelain veneers we craft and place for our Vicksburg patients are incredibly durable, dental veneers will need to be replaced after 7-15 years.
We’ve put together a list of some signs it’s time to pay us a visit for dental veneer replacement:
- Visible damage: Cracks, chips, and other visible damage are strong indicators that your dental veneers need to be replaced.
- They appear darker in color: While it may look like the veneer itself is taking on a darker hue as time goes on, it’s actually the cement holding your veneer in place that’s changing color. This will show through the porcelain or other material, making your teeth look darker.
- Underlying tooth decay: Dental veneers on teeth that have become decayed run the risk of becoming loosened and detached. Our Vicksburg dentist can remove your veneer, address the decay, and craft a new veneer for you.
