What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are made of thin pieces of durable, quality dental porcelain and are affixed to the front of smiles to improve the appearance of stained, cracked, chipped, gapped, or misaligned teeth. Because they’re made from high-quality porcelain, you can expect natural-looking results that won’t stain over time. As a result, when your smile transformation with veneers is complete, you can look forward to enjoying beautiful results for years to come.
Great Results in Just Two Dental Appointments
Transforming your smile with veneers takes two appointments. In the first, Dr. King will perform a tooth-by-tooth exam to see exactly what your needs are. Then she’ll talk to you about the results you’d like to see. When that’s done, she can start prepping your teeth and designing your veneers. Our lab will carefully fabricate your veneers based on the plan we put together. In your second appointment, we’ll put your finished veneers in place, completing your procedure.
Creating Personalized Smiles
What veneers allow us to do is create a personalized smile that fills you with confidence. As Dr. King designs your veneers, she’ll carefully consider your overall appearance, so that what you end up with looks completely natural. This same level of care and attention to detail extends to our lab, where your veneers will be carefully fabricated. We promise to give your veneers the best treatment possible. Your smile’s future is in good hands with our Fort Worth dental team.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers
The cost of veneers is different for each person, which is why it’s important that you schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Fort Worth. This visit will ensure that veneers are what you plan to pursue to transform your appearance. While there are many other cosmetic options available, if these custom restorations are what you desire, we will explain, in detail, how much you can expect to pay for your new smile.
Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?
You should be confident in your decision to choose veneers, as it is usually more expensive than other cosmetic solutions. When sitting down to compare, you can expect these options to be presented:
- Veneers: Custom-made to conceal all types of flaws, veneers are a semi-permanent method of treatment that requires removing a small portion of tooth enamel. Once placed, they can last 10+ years and alter the size, shape, and shade of your teeth.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: Less invasive than veneers, cosmetic dental bonding addresses many of the same flaws but is reversible. Using only composite resin that is directly applied to teeth requires only one appointment.
- Metal-Free Dental Crowns: Choosing to conceal chips, cracks, and stains with dental crowns can be costly depending on how many teeth you are looking to treat. Although effective and capable of changing the look of your smile, you’re likely to spend much more than you would on other cosmetic treatments.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is great if you only want to enhance the color of your smile. This high-grade bleaching gel cannot change the shape or size of your teeth like veneers.
How to Make Veneers Affordable
If you decide that veneers are the path you want to take, it’s unlikely that your dental insurance will cover the cost. As a result, you’ll need to identify another way to pay. At Summer Creek Dentistry, we are pleased to make it possible for patients like yourself to take advantage of flexible financing through CareCredit.
Similar to a credit card, you will pay the full amount upfront. Then, based on the plan you select, you will make monthly payments over time that are applied toward the cost of your treatment. This allows you to get the transformational smile you deserve without paying the high out-of-pocket cost.
Veneer FAQs
Is There Anyone Who Shouldn’t Get Veneers?
Although many patients are candidates for veneers, there is a small group that aren’t. For example, if your case of malocclusion requires orthodontic treatment to address, then we will not recommend moving forward with veneers. It’s also possible that we’ll find tooth decay, gum disease, or another serious oral health problem during your exam. If that’s the case, then we will need to restore the health of your teeth and gums before moving forward with any cosmetic dental service.
Are Veneers Permanent?
You might have heard the word “irreversible” used when referring to veneers. That means that the changes that are made to your enamel cannot be undone, not that your veneers are permanent. The good news is they often last for a decade or more with proper care, which makes them well worth the investment!
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Veneers?
Although veneers are crafted from durable dental materials, it is possible for them to chip, crack, or break (just like your natural teeth). For that reason, we recommend avoiding gummy candies, crunchy peanut brittle, and other foods that could damage your smile in more ways than one. Additionally, do your best to eat a well-balanced diet that’s filled with oatmeal, scrambled eggs, plain yogurt, fresh fruit, and other smile-friendly foods.
Important note: It’s also crucial that you don’t chew on ice, and that you drink alcohol sparingly since it can weaken the bonding material holding your veneers in place.
Will I Still Be Able to Drink Coffee with Veneers?
Often, the next question patients ask us is, “Will I still be able to drink coffee with veneers?” If that’s something you’ve been wondering as well, you’ll be happy with the answer: yes! Just like with what you eat, we have a few recommendations on how you drink this caffeinated beverage. First, keep sugar and other additives to a minimum. Second, use a straw to help prevent stubborn stains from surfacing.
How Many Veneers Will I Need?
The answer depends entirely on one thing: your smile goals. If you’re visiting us to fix one chipped tooth, then a single veneer may be all that’s needed. That said, usually patients need more than that to achieve the flawless smile they desire. Depending on what you want the results to be, we might recommend as many as 10 or 12!
Is It Painful to Get Veneers?
Another popular question about veneers is whether or not any step of the treatment process will hurt. During the placement, your mouth will be numbed so you don’t feel any discomfort. In the hours following your appointment (when the numbing agent wears off), you might feel some sensitivity. The good news is that there are several things you can do to help prevent and alleviate that, like rinsing with warm saltwater, avoiding really hot/cold foods, and taking OTC pain medication as directed on the label.
