Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are very effective for creating a beautiful smile. They are a popular cosmetic treatment for people wanting to enhance their smile.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells that are placed on the front surface of the teeth to hide any flaws and make the teeth appear straight and even. If you have crowding issues, chipped teeth, worn down teeth, or even areas of staining, dental veneers could be a great solution for you!
Dental veneers are customizable, meaning that the shade and shape of the veneers can be adjusted to give you your dream smile. Veneers are durable, and with proper care can last for many years before needing replacement or repairs.
At Acton Family Dentists, we customize every set of dental veneers to meet your needs. This means it will take two appointments, the first to take impressions of your teeth and the second to apply and adjust the veneers to your teeth.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are thin shells that are applied on the front surfaces of teeth to help with the appearance of a smile. There are different styles of veneers, so the teeth may be prepped first by removing a small amount of enamel. They cover any flaws and can adjust the thickness of teeth to improve spacing problems.

How long do veneers last?
Our veneers are made of a high-quality material that is designed to last. On average, most veneers last 10-15 years. However, with exceptional dental care, your dental veneers can last more than 20 years. If your dental veneers need to be repaired or replaced, please contact our office right away so we can get you smiling again.

What types of dental veneers are available?
The two main types of dental veneers are: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both are good options to help you improve your smile.
Composite veneers are manufactured in-office, using tooth-colored resin, and applied directly to the teeth. They are typically less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, and they work well to cover up many aesthetic problems.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made, out of porcelain, to fit your teeth. These are typically made in a laboratory and sent to our office. We will apply them and ensure they fit your teeth as they should. Porcelain veneers generally last longer because of the stronger material, provide a more natural look, and can fix larger cosmetic issues such as very dark stained teeth or teeth positioned incorrectly.

What do dental veneers cost?
Veneers typically are not covered by insurance since they are considered a cosmetic procedure. However, costs can range depending on your dentist. As an average, traditional dental veneers range from $925 to $2,500 per tooth and no-prep dental veneers cost around $800 to $2000 per tooth.
