What Are Porcelain Veneers?
A porcelain veneer, also called a dental veneer, is an ultra-thin shell that a dentist can attach to the surface of a tooth. Once bonded to the tooth, veneers obscure cosmetic concerns like chips, cracks, or stains. Each shell is made from porcelain or similar materials that flawlessly resemble the appearance of a natural tooth.
Porcelain veneers have become one of the most popular treatment options in cosmetic dentistry because they are relatively easy to place and yield exceptional lifelike results.

Are Veneers Covered
by Dental Insurance?
/
No. As a cosmetic dentistry procedure, dental veneers are considered an elective treatment rather than medically necessary. Thankfully, our financing options can keep veneer treatment affordable for many households. We can also go over cheaper alternative treatments that may be right for you.

Ideal Dental Veneer Candidates Are in Good Oral Health
Whether You Have Sufficient Enamel
Before your dentist can place your porcelain veneers, they have to remove a certain amount of enamel from your tooth. If you have very worn or thin enamel, you may not qualify for this form of dentistry.
Whether You Grind Your Teeth
Clenching or grinding your teeth can damage restorations like veneers. An oral appliance or another treatment for these issues may allow you to still undergo treatment.
Minor Misalignment Only
While porcelain veneers can address gaps or other minor types of misalignment, severely crooked teeth may still require orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign®.
Good Oral Hygiene
Consistent oral hygiene and regular checkups at our office in Nashville, TN, are essential for maintaining the integrity of the dental veneers and the health of your underlying teeth.
Ready for a Permanent Investment
Veneer dentistry is irreversible. If you are concerned about making permanent changes to your smile, you may want to consider an alternative treatment, such as dental bonding. Our team will be happy to discuss your options with you.

View on GoogleAlternatives to Veneers Other Treatments for Patients to Consider
Don't feel bad if you are unable to afford veneers or if they just aren't right for your needs. Depending on the issues you want to address, our dentists in Nashville, TN, can discuss potential alternatives to porcelain veneers.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is used to treat many of the same conditions as veneers for a lower price. Instead of a porcelain shell, the dental bonding process uses a resin material that is carefully shaped and molded to the tooth.
While bonding is a good alternative for treating an imperfect tooth, the resin bonding material cannot provide the same level of strength and durability that veneer materials can. That said, many patients are satisfied with this more affordable alternative.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is another more affordable alternative to veneers. Both in-office whitening and take-home whitening kits can be effective at treating stains that originate on the surface of the teeth.
We always remind patients that their teeth can still become stained after whitening treatment. Good oral hygiene and avoiding tobacco products can keep smiles looking bright and white. In addition, periodic touchup procedures can prolong the results.
Invisalign
Veneers can be used to treat minor tooth misalignment, but sometimes orthodontics is the better option. This ensures your teeth look straight and can prevent oral health problems such as teeth grinding and TMJ disorders.
Gulch Dental Studios offers Invisalign instead of traditional metal braces. Thanks to the clear plastic aligner trays used during the months-long procedure, you can complete Invisalign treatment without anyone noticing you're undergoing orthodontic care.

Porcelain Veneer FAQ
How long do dental veneers last?
With proper at-home care and regular trips to see the dentist, your new dental veneers can last for over a decade. After about 10-15 years, your dental veneers will need to be replaced. The process for replacing old dental veneers is quite similar to the initial veneer placement procedure.
Will dental veneers ruin my teeth?
No. Just a small amount of tooth enamel is removed while prepping a tooth for a dental veneer. Typically, just a half millimeter of enamel is removed, and sometimes less. Losing a fraction of a millimeter of enamel will not have a significant impact on the structural integrity of a tooth or your oral health.Can I smoke after getting dental veneers?
You technically can smoke or use chewing tobacco after getting dental veneers, but it's a bad idea. The veneers will not become stained, but tobacco products will discolor your natural teeth and increase your risk of gum disease. We often tell patients that getting dental veneers is a convenient excuse to kick their smoking or chewing tobacco habit for good.What should I do if a veneer gets chipped or comes loose?
If a dental veneer is fractured or somehow gets dislodged, it's important that you contact our Nashville practice as soon as possible. Bring the debonded veneer or broken fragment with you if possible. Our dental team can assess the issue and determine the most effective treatment for this dental veneer problem.Why are veneers from veneer techs so cheap?
Veneers from veneer techs are cheap because veneer techs are not licensed dental care professionals. In fact, their work is illegal and potentially dangerous. All it takes to be a veneer tech is a little training for a meaningless certificate. Veneer techs also use substandard tools and materials when doing their dental work. There is a risk of lasting tooth damage and poor cosmetic results. This is why it's worth spending extra money to get your dental veneers from an experienced and qualified cosmetic dentist.Nashville Loves Gulch Dental Studio Top Notch Cosmetic Dentistry in Middle Tennessee
