Question 1

Are veneers permanent?

Accepted Answer

Veneers aren’t considered permanent because they eventually need to be replaced; however, they aren’t reversible, either. The process of applying veneers requires a small amount of enamel to be removed to ensure optimal results. Although this doesn’t harm your teeth, your enamel can’t regenerate. Your teeth will always have to be covered by restorations to protect them from any damage. Don’t worry, veneers can last for decades with the right maintenance, so you won’t need replacements often.

Question 2

How many veneers will I need?

Accepted Answer

A veneer can be applied to a single tooth, such as to fix a chip or crack, but you’ll likely need more than one. The overall goal of the procedure is to enhance the entire smile to create beautiful, symmetrical results. Often, they are applied to the teeth most visible when smiling. Some patients may only need 6 to 8, while others may require 10 or 12. We’ll explain how many you’ll need during your consultation to reach your goals.

Question 3

Do veneers feel like real teeth?

Accepted Answer

Veneers won’t feel bulky on your teeth because they are thinner than ever, so less enamel is shaved off. Removing enamel ensures there aren’t any uncomfortable ledges. Veneers are sleek and smooth to eliminate any irritation to the soft tissues in your mouth. With each restoration custom-crafted, they’ll fit your teeth like a glove. Many patients say they forget they have veneers because they feel natural when speaking and eating.

Question 4

Can I use my dental insurance to pay for veneers?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, veneers are elective in most situations, so it’s rare for dental insurance to offset their cost. There are some exceptions, such as if they are necessary for your dental health. This can be the case when needing replacements, so you may be able to use your coverage to reduce the amount you pay out-of-pocket. Although every situation differs, your plan can cover up to 80% of the cost after reaching your deductible. If applicable, we’ll work on your behalf with your dental insurance, so you have one less thing to worry about.

Question 5

Can veneers be eligible for FSA coverage?

Accepted Answer

If veneers are necessary to correct issues caused by injury or illness, they may be eligible for FSA coverage. Your doctor may need to provide you with a Letter of Medical Necessity for your FSA to reimburse their cost. You may also have limitations to the amount covered annually. We offer several financial solutions to keep veneers affordable, like third-party financing. Your cosmetic dentist in Bohemia will explain all your options during your consultation to keep the smile of your dreams within your budget.
