At Arden Dental Group, our lab-fabricated veneers are build to withstand stains and last for around 10 to 15 years.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin covers that we bond to the front of your and they are available in composite or porcelain. Arden Dental Group proudly offers our patients porcelain veneers:

• Porcelain veneers: Created to be durable, semi-translucent and smooth. Porcelain  veneers are carefully cemented and rewards you with years of shine.

Before You Get Veneers: What To Know

One-way makeover. We trim a hair-thin layer of enamel so the veneers fit comfortably and naturally to be as aesthetically appealing as possible .

Healthy foundation first. Cavities or gum trouble get fixed ahead of time; sealing a veneer over problems only lets them grow. Placing veneers over unhealthy teeth can actually worsen existing dental problems.

Prioritize repairs. A veneer can chip, crack, loosen or wear down. Don’t put off care when/ if that occurs. We’ll repair or replace it, or switch the tooth to a crown.

Night grinders, take note! Heavy clenching or a teeth grinding can crack porcelain.

Mind the menu. Porcelain veneers are certainly strong, but they are not indestructible. Be sure to avoid chewing ice, pens, or fingernails, and go easy on super-hard snacks or foods that cause smile staining.

Check your coverage. Because veneers are cosmetic, some plans do not cover this service unless there’s a medical need, so budget for some out-of-pocket costs. Arden Dental Group’s dental savings plan covers all cosmetic services, so be sure to ask us about this, too!

Talk it out. Share your smile goals, dental history, and any worries with us upfront. Our friendly team will help you decide if veneers are truly the right fit.

Need-To-Know Facts About Veneers

• Veneered teeth need the same daily care as your natural ones to keep gums healthy and edges spotless.
• If a veneer ever loosens, stains or decay can sneak underneath, let us check it right away.
• If too much of the tooth is missing for a veneer placement, a crown may be another option.

How To Maintain Your Veneers

To properly care for your veneer:

• Wear a mouthguard if you play a sport or do an activity that could injure your mouth.
• Be cautious with foods and beverages that may stain or discolor your veneer such as coffee, tea or red wine.
• Maintain your dental health by brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and cleaning between your teeth daily. You can still get cavities under or around a veneer.
• Use dental care products with the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance, which are considered safe and effective to help keep your mouth healthy.
