LAS VEGAS, NV AREA PATIENTS ASK ABOUT THE COST OF PORCELAIN VENEERS

Porcelain veneers are a popular consideration for patients who are interested in disguising problem areas within their smiles. These thin restorations are made of porcelain and are bonded onto the front of teeth. They can cover imperfections including permanently stained, misaligned, unusually shaped, or fractured teeth. Las Vegas, NV area patients are encouraged to speak with Dr. Christopher Lim of Hillside Dental to learn more about veneers, including the process and the cost of treatment.
 

PROCESS

Porcelain veneers require several steps.

• Preparation – preparation of the natural tooth must be done. A thin portion of the enamel on the front of the tooth is removed. This gives the restoration a foundation without adding unnecessary bulk.

• Molds – impressions of the prepared teeth are completed. They allow the ceramist to create restorations that fit precisely over the teeth.

• Fabrication – a ceramist at a dental laboratory uses the impressions of the teeth to create porcelain veneers for coverage.

• Bonding – once the veneers are complete, they are sent to the dental office and Dr. Christopher Lim will bond the new restorations onto the teeth. Patients leave the practice with a new look and improved confidence.

COST OF VENEERS

The cost of veneers varies greatly from patient to patient. The best way to determine price is by scheduling a consultation visit and examination with Dr. Christopher Lim. Veneers may be partially covered by dental insurance, which can lower the out-of-pocket costs, and payment plans are available.
