Any time you are considering different types of dental treatment, we encourage you to not only look at the upfront costs of the procedure; but we also urge you to explore the long-term benefits of this investment in your smile, oral health, and overall wellbeing and wellness. Porcelain dental veneers placed by cosmetic dentist Dr. Brianne Luu at the Azusa, CA, office of Gentle Care Dentistry are an excellent investment! 

Why dental veneers are a great value 

Veneers are generally thin layers of dental porcelain that are designed to disguise cosmetic imperfections. However, even cosmetic problems can have costly oral health consequences. Chips or cracks can make the teeth more vulnerable to further damage and weaken the tooth structure. Veneers may also be used to cover up or protect exposed teeth roots. As gum tissue pulls away or recedes from the teeth over time, the roots can become exposed and threaten the structural integrity of your tooth. Additionally, you may experience sensitivity and pain. Veneers treatment can prevent these and other complications caused by the conditions that lead to your exploring this procedure in the first place. 

Modern veneers are also made from quality dental porcelain that is both aesthetically-pleasing and strong. Due to the strength of the porcelain, your veneers can last for many years, even a lifetime.  

Get the most out of your investment

You still need to care for your veneers properly to ensure they look, feel, and function as wonderfully as the day they were bonded in place. Notably, it’s important to continue to brush and floss your teeth consistently. The natural tooth structure underneath your veneers is still susceptible to decay. Likewise, we encourage patients to take proactive steps to protect their veneered teeth. For instance, nightguards can be designed to slip over your veneers. Many patients grind their teeth during sleep.  Nightguards protect the porcelain veneers from fractures and other damage that can shorten the lifespan of your veneers. Many patients don’t realize they are grinding and clenching their teeth until it’s too late, and irreversible damage has been done. 

Lifting financial barriers 

The cost of your veneers depends on many factors, including but not limited to the nature of your concerns and the number of veneers that are required to address those concerns. We are upfront about the costs of all treatment options. We’re also happy to discuss payment options.
