You no longer need to hide your smile because of gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth. With veneers, you can easily correct your teeth’s imperfections to help you have a more confident, beautiful smile. Veneers are natural in appearance and are a perfect option for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials such as porcelain. They are designed to cover the front side of your teeth. To prepare for veneers, your doctor will create a unique model of your teeth. This model is sent to a dental technician who creates your veneers. Before placing your new veneer, your doctor may need to conservatively prepare your tooth to achieve the desired aesthetic result.

When your veneers are placed, you’ll be pleased to see that they look like your natural teeth. While veneers are stain-resistant, your doctor may recommend that you avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maintain the beauty of your new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. Our dentist removes a small amount of enamel, then custom-fits the veneers to cover imperfections like stains or chips. They’re cemented in place for a natural, durable result.

Porcelain veneers are often worth it for patients seeking a long-lasting, natural-looking smile enhancement. Veneers can address cosmetic issues like discoloration or minor misalignment, boosting confidence. However, their cost and irreversible nature require careful consideration. Contact our Kirkland dentist for more information.

Porcelain veneers are safe when applied by a skilled dentist, like Dr. Roberts, using proper techniques. The procedure involves minimal enamel removal, which is generally well-tolerated. Risks like sensitivity or veneer detachment are rare with quality care and regular maintenance.

Porcelain veneers can improve the appearance of mildly crooked teeth by creating a straighter, uniform look. They don’t physically move teeth, so severe misalignment may require orthodontic treatment. Our Kirkland dentist can evaluate if veneers suit your oral health needs and smile goals.

Porcelain veneers in Kirkland cost between $900 and $2,500 per tooth, depending on the dentist’s experience and materials used. The total cost of your treatment will vary based on the number of veneers needed. Insurance typically doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures, but financing may be available.

Our dentist prepares the teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel, then takes impressions for custom veneers. The lab-crafted porcelain veneers are bonded to teeth using dental cement and cured with a special light. The process typically requires two visits to our Kirkland dental office for preparation and placement.

Porcelain veneers are designed to be permanent and are difficult to remove without damaging the underlying tooth. Removal, if needed, requires a dentist to carefully drill or laser them off, often necessitating new restorations.
