Porcelain Veneers in Winston-Salem

Before and after photo of veneers, winston salem nc One aspect of dentistry our team loves is changing lives! Today's busy world demands a lot, and appearance is essential. So when you have a smile that makes you feel confident, it can be life-changing, especially if you've lived with cosmetic concerns in the past, like chipped or discolored teeth.

Even a tiny chip in your tooth can cause you to feel self-conscious about your teeth. However, if you have aspects of your smile that you're unhappy with, porcelain veneers may be able to repair your teeth and give you the stunning smile and confidence we believe every patient deserves.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Dental veneers in Winston Salem are thin sheets of porcelain that our dentists customize to fit seamlessly over the surface of your teeth and cover cosmetic imperfections. Some of the smile problems veneers can cover are:

Broken or chipped teeth
Spaces or gaps between teeth
Stains or discoloration
Slight tooth misalignment
Oddly shaped teeth
Excessively wear

It's never too late to have the beautiful smile you want, and it's more accessible now than ever before. Our dentists use veneers to repair single teeth, but they are particularly effective for restoring multiple teeth for a complete smile redesign. Think "Hollywood" smile!

Porcelain Veneers Hide Most Aesthetic Issues

Porcelain veneers in Winston-Salem, NC, can transform your smile by hiding a wide range of aesthetic flaws. See the boxes below to learn more.

Gummy Smiles

Gummy smiles mean too much gum tissue shows when you smile. Porcelain veneers can change this ratio, giving you the look you've always wanted.

Short Teeth

Short and worn teeth can detract from your smile, but porcelain veneers can give the illusion of tooth height symmetry for a Hollywood-caliber smile.

Slight Misalignment

Sometimes, your Winston-Salem dentist can hide slightly misaligned teeth using porcelain veneers. We'll evaluate your case to ensure a stunning result.

General Tooth Flaws

Whether it's stubborn discoloration, a misshapen tooth, or chips and cracks, porcelain veneers may be the one-stop solution for all your aesthetic smile issues.

Getting Porcelain Veneers

woman smiling, before and after photo of porcelain veneers, winston salem nc

Once you've decided to invest in your new, beautiful smile, you may wonder how long it will take to complete. The good news is completing your new smile is relatively straightforward and takes about two to three weeks.

During your first visit, we prepare your teeth for the porcelain veneers, take impressions to send to a trusted dental lab and create a second version for you to wear temporarily. You'll wear temporary veneers while the dental lab creates your final restorations. Wearing temporary veneers gives you time to get used to your new smile so you can determine if we should make any adjustments to your final ones.

Your second visit takes place after the dental lab completes your final veneers. Our dentists permanently place them and polish them for a flawless finish, making any needed adjustments at this time.

Now all that's left to do is to share your smile with the world!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of porcelain veneers?

The color or shade of veneers can be customized for each patient’s wishes. The excellent, local Winston-Salem dental labs create customized veneers for each patient’s desires.

Reduced Staining and Discoloration Over Time

High-quality porcelain stains at a much lower rate than natural teeth, composite fillings, or older crown materials.

Conservative Treatment

Veneers often remove less than .5mm of tooth material and sometimes none at all. This keeps your natural teeth stronger and allows the veneers to last for a long time.

Biology

Porcelain has been used for a long time in dentistry and has a long track record of being well tolerated by the gum tissue in patients. There is no metal involved in the process so the potential for an allergic reaction is almost zero.

What is the process of getting veneers?

You can have your veneers in two simple visits.

First visit:

Preparation of the teeth and making “temporary” veneers. In the first visit, the teeth are prepared and molds of the mouth are made to send to the master dental technicians. You will leave that day in “temporary” veneers that will look very similar to what your final smile will be!

Second visit:

Attach your custom porcelain veneers to your teeth. You will later return to the office to have your custom porcelain veneers attached to your teeth with a very durable and strong resin adhesive. The final step is to live your life with your new smile!

Can I afford dental veneers?

We accept and file all dental insurances

Our office provides excellent care at an affordable price. We accept and file all dental insurance policies and will fight on your behalf so that you receive the maximum benefit. Though we are not an in-network provider with any insurance company, we will estimate your insurance coverage and out-of-pocket responsibility prior to treatment.

Financial plans are available

We offer financing plans that allow you to fit your needs into your budget.

Discounts for patients without dental insurance (cash pay)

We also offer discounts for patients who do not have dental insurance or who prefer to pay with cash.

How do I know if I'm a candidate for veneers?

Schedule a consultation at our Winston-Salem office.

Call our Winston-Salem office to schedule your exam and consultation. It is very important for Dr. Nelson to conduct a full exam before the placement of porcelain veneers. The exam will help determine whether porcelain veneers are the best treatment for you. Alternatives to veneers that will still provide excellent esthetic results include orthodontics or small tooth-colored fillings.

See a “mock-up” of what your teeth would look like with veneers.

Photos and molds of your teeth will be taken to best plan for the veneers. In most cases, you can see a “mock-up” of what the new veneers would look like in your mouth. This is accomplished in just a few minutes without anesthesia or drilling. If you like how they look and feel, then this can be communicated with the lab when they create your porcelain veneers.

How much do dental veneers cost?

At Benton and Nelson DDS Family and Sedation Dentistry, the fee for a dental veneer is $1258 per tooth. Most patients decide to place dental veneers on either two, four, or six front teeth to transform their smile.
