What are Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers?
Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers are the painless way to bring out the beautiful, healthy, natural, permanently white smile in you. Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers are ultra strong glass-ceramic porcelain laminates that are contact lens thin, and extremely stain resistant. They are used for closing space between teeth, reshaping teeth, and whitening teeth. Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers eliminate the need for shaving and grinding down of sensitive tooth structure, like traditional veneer treatments require. Soda, coffee, cigars, and cigarettes will not stain Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers.

Costs
The average cost of Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers tends to hover around $1,000 per tooth. The pricetag may seem staggering but the results are immediate, pain free, and have a proven track record of lasting 20+ years with proper dental hygeine. The cost reflects the prep work, the actual installation of the thin porcelain, as well as overhead associated with this highly specialized dental procedure. Cost changing factors can include the condition of the teeth, previous work that has been done on the teeth, and other complicating factors.
Insurance
Insurance companies will very selectively provide coverage for Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers treatment. For example, if you sustained an injury from an accident, you may qualify for coverage. In addition, Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers may be used in place of other restorations, such as crowns. Talk to your dental insurance provider for details.
Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
You cannot offset the expense of Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Elective cosmetic procedures are not deductible as a medical expense on your tax return. Given that Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers are elective cosmetic devices, that would not be an allowable medical expense and therefore would not be eligible for payment through a medical reimbursement plan.
0% Interest Rate & No Fees Financing
Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers, like other cosmetic dentistry procedures, can be financed through Beautiful Dentistry’s in-house program with CareCredit or SpringLeaf. If your dental bill is $500 or less, you can get 6 months same as cash at 0% interest and no fees. If your dental bill is up to $2000, you qualify for 12 months same as cash at 0% interest and no fees. Any procedures over $2000 qualify for 18 to 24 months of no interest and no fees financing based on the amount.
Health Benefits
Facilitating Good Oral Health & Cardiovascular Health
Preventing Periodontal Disease
Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers can be made in varying thicknesses to close gaps, adjust malformations in the teeth, and improving the bite. Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers become ultra strong ceramic-glass porcelain protective covers for your teeth, and prevent chipping and abrasion. Gaps, malformations, and improper bite alignment issues can deterioriate and damage your tooth structure, if left untreated. The high gloss glazed finish of Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers make them resistant to plaque buildup, which helps prevent gum disease.
Preventing Heart Disease
Periodontal disease which causes the inflammation of gums introduces a pathway for bacteria in the mouth to enter the bloodstream. Recent studies have found there may be an association between heart disease and gum disease which is as strong as the linkage of heart disease to cholesterol, body weight, and smoking.
A Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers treatment does not preclude you from having to practice proper dental hygeine, but it does facilitate good health in addition to instantly producing knockout smiles!
Keep Your Natural Teeth Intact
Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers allow you to keep your natural teeth intact. This is an important point because alternative treatments that offer similar results, such as crowns, bridges and implants, do not. Keeping more of your natural tooth prevents jaw bone deformities and chewing difficulties from developing as you age. You also decrease your risk of getting bacteria and decay in your gums, which in turn reduces your risk of getting heart attacks. The best part: your unattractive tooth will be entirely invisible.
Because Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers are the least invasive way to improve your dental health and the appearance of your smile, the cost is justified when you’re looking for an easy way to get immediate results without pain. Whether you want to protect your teeth for health reasons, cover up unsightly teeth for cosmetic reasons, or both, choosing Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers makes sense.
Eligibility Criteria
When Porcelain Veneers Won’t Work
Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers provide the best results when there are healthy gums holding the teeth in place. Call us today at (704) 633‑2612 to schedule a deep cleaning, and get on the fast track to a healthy gumline. If the gums are puffy or bleed easily, they may recede away from the margin of the veneers as they heal, making the result less than optimum. Bleeding gums will interfere with the Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers bonding process and often causes a line of discoloration under the porcelain at the gum line. If your gums aren’t in the greatest condition, we should bring them to the best possible health before proceeding with the Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers treatment.
Other existing dental conditions could leave your Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers much more prone to wear and tear. Tooth grinding is one of such disorder that may translate to a greater need for maintenance. If you have any special concerns about your teeth before proceeding with a Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers appointment, please reach out to us.
Other Treatment Options
Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers address a number of dental problems. Alternatives for each of these issues exist, but all of these alternative treatments take considerably more time to deliver results. Alternative solutions which involve restoring your original teeth typically will not be as effective as Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers, in producing Hollywood Smiles.
Complex dental cases would require treatment in phases, and rely on multiple products. For example, metal braces can be used for extruding canines and correcting extreme crossbites, Invisalign can be used after the metal braces finalize the heavy lifting, and Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers can add the finishing touches to your smile at the very end. Please call us today at (704) 633‑2612 to schedule your Smile Makeover consultation, and let us identify the best path to creating your perfect smile.
Lumineers Treatment
Getting Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers typically requires two dental appointments.
About the Procedure
First Dental Appointment
You can get comfortable with your choice of a movie or sedation. Our office is board certified to offer you different degrees of sedation, ranging from Nitrous Oxide to Pill Sedation, to make your dental visit more comfortable and desirable. Your teeth get polished to ensure your Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers will bond properly. This process is pain free and does not require anesthetic.
Our staff will take a few impressions of your mouth. These impressions get sent out by mail to Den-Mat to manufacture Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers customized for your mouth.
If necessary, you will also be provided with temporary teeth until your Lumineers arrive.
Second Dental Appointment
You again have the option of getting comfortable with either a movie or sedation. On this day your temporaries are removed, if you had been given any, and your Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers are glued onto your teeth. The porcelain to enamel bond is the strongest bond in dentistry, despite this, you still have the option of easily removing your Beautiful Dentistry Porcelain Veneers for any reason, at any time.
Recovery Period
Your teeth are prepared in a non-invasive manner by your Lumineers Dentist, in a manner which does not cause any pain to your teeth. There is no recovery period window, because there is nothing you have to recover from.
