What Are Veneers, and Why Are They Worth It?


There are many different types of dental work, and it can be confusing to figure out which dental treatments you might need and whether or not they are worth the cost. While you’ll have to evaluate every option carefully with your dentist, many people choose a budget-friendly composite resin veneer. But what is a veneer, and why might you need one? Is it worth the cost?

What Veneers Are

Veneers are coverings for the teeth to give them a uniform and natural but improved appearance. The veneers we offer are high-quality porcelain veneers that will last.

Veneers are not a necessary dental treatment for most people. They are a great option if you have teeth stained beyond repair or a crooked tooth or unnatural gap between teeth. If you have a chipped tooth, your dentist might recommend a veneer to cover the chip so that:

  • The tooth does not become more damaged.
  • The root of the tooth does not become exposed.
  • The tooth does not crack down the middle.
  • You do not injure your mouth with the jagged edge.
  • They can help cover and protect worn enamel that is sensitive.

So, is it Worth it to Get Veneers or Not?

The real question is: “Are you and your smile worth it?” Is it time to have the smile you’ve always envisioned for yourself?
