- Typically last between 5-7 years
- Less durable and more readily stains
- Limited optical properties and surface features
Ceramic Veneers
- Made locally by our partnering ceramicists
- More expensive than composite veneers
- Ideal for our clients seeking absolute superior aesthetics
- Planned digitally using photo-simulation
- Ceramicist builds under magnification and tests fits on models
- Inserted unit by unit – resulting in a precision fit
- Significantly more durable and stain-resistant
- Typically last between 10-15 years or longer with proper care
- Excellent optical properties and surface features
Frequently Asked Questions
At Arete Dental Studio, we prioritize minimally invasive dentistry and take great care to ensure the health and integrity of your natural teeth and gums. The process of placing a veneer involves removing a small amount of tooth enamel, but our team takes steps to minimize this and ensure that the remaining tooth structure is healthy and intact.
The cost of veneers can vary depending on factors such as the type of veneer, the extent of treatment needed, and your individual needs and goals. Our team can provide you with an estimated cost during your initial consultation.
Our team takes steps to ensure your comfort during the veneer procedure, such as using a local anesthetic to numb the area. Some patients may experience minor discomfort or sensitivity following the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days.
The process of getting veneers typically involves several steps, including a consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your dental health, preparation of the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel, taking impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers, and bonding the veneers in place using a special adhesive. Our team will walk you through each step of the process and answer any questions you may have.
Personalized Treatment Estimates
The cost and time of veneer treatment varies depending on the type of veneer and the extent of treatment needed. Composite veneers are generally more affordable and can be completed in a single visit. Ceramic veneers require multiple visits and are fabricated in a dental lab, making them more expensive. Our team can provide you with an estimated cost and treatment time during your first appointment.
