While you may feel like you have no choice but to live with the flaws, you do have an effective option that looks natural. With porcelain veneers in Gainesville, Dr. Gabriel A. Nossa will give you the attractive smile you’ve always wanted, improving your confidence in the process.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers have quickly become one of the most preferred cosmetic dental treatments because they provide quick, natural-looking results. By bonding custom-made thin shells to the front surfaces of your teeth, imperfections like stains, chips, and gaps will instantly be hidden. Your teeth will become shapelier, more proportionate, and whiter.
The Process of Getting Veneers
To ensure that they are the right option for you, you will need to schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Gainesville, Dr. Nossa. Generally, if you have good overall oral health, you are a candidate for the procedure. After performing an initial examination and taking diagnostic images, he will create a customized treatment plan to transform your smile, which is when the size, shape, and shade of each veneer will be selected.
In order for your veneers to blend in seamlessly with your smile, we will need to remove a small portion of your enamel. After this step is complete, we will take impressions of your teeth and send them off to the dental lab with the details of your treatment plan. Usually, it takes two or three weeks for veneers to be made, so we will provide you with temporary ones in the meantime.
At your last appointment, we will take off your temporary veneers and secure your final ones in place. Once they are polished and perfect, we will remind you how to take care of them, and the entire treatment process will be complete!
The Benefits of Veneers
There are countless benefits, including that materials like porcelain allow them to be made thinner. As a result, less of your tooth’s structure is removed during the bonding process. This also makes the treatment minimally invasive. Porcelain also closely mimics the appearance of enamel, so your new smile will look natural. It is also stain-resistant to keep your teeth bright for several years. With the right aftercare, your veneers can last for an average of 10 years before needing to be replaced!

By choosing a skilled dentist and investing in quality veneers, you can achieve a smile that’s free of flaws, but there are other options out there too.

Cost VS Cosmetic Dentistry: What’s Right for Me?
For many people, veneers initially seem like the perfect option. However, it’s a good idea to take a look at all of your options to see how each one would affect your smile. They all have different price points and can help patients to achieve a variety of goals. Here are just some of the more common cosmetic treatments out there:
- Invisalign – If you’re dealing with misalignment issues, you might find that Invisalign is the best option for correcting them. This type of treatment costs several thousands of dollars, but it’s highly effective for straightening teeth.
- Teeth Whitening – Professional teeth whitening is a quick solution to surface discoloration, and it’s considerably more affordable than many other cosmetic options. However, it doesn’t address any cosmetic flaws other than staining. Results can last anywhere from a couple months to a few years depending on how well you maintain them.
- Direct Bonding – Direct bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in a single visit, and it’s one of the most affordable cosmetic options out there. If you want to correct minor flaws, like small chips and stains, this is a simple solution. Bonding lasts anywhere from 3 to 10 years.
- Veneers – While it certainly isn’t the cheapest cosmetic solution out there, veneers are the easiest way to transform numerous aspects of your smile, including the color, shape, minor misalignment issues. The whole process can be completed in as little as two appointments and lasts up to 15 years or longer with proper maintenance.
How to Make Veneers Affordable
Dental veneers aren’t generally covered by dental insurance, as they are considered to be an elective treatment. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re completely out of luck. We work with CareCredit – a third-party financing company that makes paying for your treatment easier by splitting the cost into manageable monthly installments with little-to-no interest.
