What Are Dental Veneers?

Are you confident with your smile? Do you only smile with your lips closed? Is there something about your smile that you would like to change?

With dental veneers, you can get rid of your smile’s imperfections and give it a complete makeover.

Our dentist in Peoria, IL uses thin veneers made of strong and durable porcelain material. These porcelain veneers are placed on the front of your teeth and can change the shape, color, and unique features of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for someone wanting to:

  • Straighten crooked teeth without orthodontics
  • Repair chipped or broken teeth
  • Close gaps between teeth
  • Change shape of teeth
  • Brighten smile and hide discolored teeth
  • Permanently whiten teeth

Our Process for Dental Veneers

Step 1: Consultation
No two smiles are the same, which is why Dr. Mathes first wants to meet with you to discuss your smile goals and answer any questions you have about the process. Together, you will create a custom treatment plan that fits your needs and will leave you with a beautiful and healthy smile.
Step 2: Try On Your Smile

While you wait for our lab to craft your permanent porcelain veneers, you will be able to “try on” your new smile with temporary veneers. These temporaries will give you a sneak peek of what’s to come and allow you to adjust to your new smile, and self!

Step 3: Your New Smile
After we receive your custom-made veneers from our lab, Dr. Mathes will permanently place your porcelain veneers on your teeth. Your new smile will look and feel natural, and most importantly, you will love it!

They made me feel like I had been one of their patients for years, super-friendly staff! They also explained everything they were doing very thoroughly. Dr. Mathes knows what he's doing, he's very professional, and will help you get the smile you dream of.

  • Am I a candidate for porcelain veneers?

    Most of our patients make for excellent candidates for dental veneers. Although, there are times when you may not be eligible for dental veneers.

    To find out if you’re a candidate for dental veneers, contact us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mathes.

  • How long do dental veneers last?
    Porcelain veneers are made of strong and durable, tooth-colored material. The lifespan of your veneers can vary based on how well you care for them. And you must remember, even though veneers are not susceptible to decay, your natural teeth underneath are.

    With proper care, you can expect your veneers to last for approximately 10-15 years.

    To maximize the lifespan of your veneers and natural teeth, we recommend:

    • Brushing twice a day
    • Flossing daily
    • Maintaining your regular six-month exams and cleanings at Bruce Mathes DDS
    • Avoid chewing on hard foods or objects, like ice or biting your nails

     

  • How do you take care of veneers?
    This answer is one of the reasons our patients love dental veneers: You care for dental veneers just like you do with natural teeth! That means you should:

    • Brush your teeth twice a day
    • Floss daily
    • Maintain your regular six-month exams and cleanings at Bruce Mathes DDS

    You should also try to avoid chewing on hard foods or objects, like ice or biting your nails.

  • How much do veneers cost?
    Likewise to the statement, no two smiles are the same, no two dental veneers treatments are the same. The cost of dental veneers will vary based on the following:

    • How many teeth you would like veneers placed on
    • If your dental insurance will cover treatment
    • The current state of your oral health (will prior treatments be needed?)
    • A 5% discount if paying with cash

    To find out how much dental veneers will cost you, please call or email us today!

  • Do dental veneers hurt?
    At Bruce Mathes DDS, we strive to make every dental visit enjoyable and comfortable – getting dental veneers is no exception.

    Typically, we will use a numbing agent when placing your temporary veneers, as well as your permanent porcelain veneers. You should not feel any pain or discomfort during the dental veneers process.

    If you feel any soreness afterward, it can usually be alleviated with over-the-counter medication.

    Getting dental veneers is an easy and painless process. Schedule a consultation today for dental veneers in Peoria, IL.
