If you have minor imperfections in your teeth, such as chips, cracks, inconsistent spacing or shaping, or misalignment, porcelain veneers in Worcester are a fast, effective way to conceal these imperfections and improve the overall appearance of your smile. Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that are attached to the front surface of a tooth. Often called “instant orthodontics,” porcelain veneers can be an outstanding solution for anyone whose dental imperfections are noticeable, yet not serious enough to warrant orthodontics. Placing porcelain veneers requires two appointments with your cosmetic dentist in Worcester, and involves the removal of a small portion of your tooth’s enamel. They can provide you with many years of happy, confident smiles.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin shells of durable dental porcelain that are permanently bonded to the front-facing surfaces of your teeth to mask teeth that are:

• Crooked
• Asymmetrical
• Worn down
• Chipped or cracked
• Discolored or yellowing
• Separated by gaps

If any of the above describe any of your teeth, contact us today to schedule a consultation to see if porcelain veneers are right for you.

The Veneers Process

After your initial consultation, getting porcelain veneers takes just two quick appointments with Dr. Savas, your cosmetic dentist in Worcester. During the first visit, he will remove a tiny sliver of enamel from the teeth that will receive the veneers. This will ensure that they lay flush against your pearly whites and don’t stand out in your smile. Then, Dr. Savas will take impressions of your prepped teeth and send them off to the dental lab, where your veneers will be designed. In the meantime, Dr. Savas can fix you with temporary veneers that allow you to take your new smile for a test drive.

A few weeks later, when your permanent veneers are ready, simply return to our office to have them bonded to your teeth. Once they’re attached, your smile will be instantly transformed to be movie-star perfect. And, with proper maintenance, your new smile can last a decade or even longer!

Understanding the Cost of Porcelain Veneers

Because porcelain veneers are often considered a purely cosmetic procedure, they are typically not covered by most dental insurance plans. However, you may be able to receive funding through third-party programs like CareCredit or Lending Club. In addition, we will work with you to try and make the most out of your dental insurance plan, so you don’t have to pay a cent more than is absolutely necessary. Keep in mind that porcelain veneers allow you to have the smile of your dreams, so they will be worth every penny!
