What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are placed over the front of a tooth to cover imperfections. Dr. Rob Guerriero offers traditional porcelain veneers as well as minimal-prep veneers to patients of our Cayce, SC dental practice.

It's important to understand that veneers do not actually repair dental flaws. However, they are an excellent dentistry option for patients who have healthy teeth but who wish simply to conceal cosmetic imperfections. In just two visits to our inviting office, patients can completely transform their smiles.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL VENEERS?

To qualify as a suitable candidate for porcelain veneers, it is essential to meet certain basic requirements. First and foremost, maintaining good overall oral health is crucial. Any existing issues such as decay or gum disease should be addressed by Dr. Guerriero before considering veneer treatment. Additionally, patients must have a sufficient amount of tooth enamel, as a thin layer of surface enamel needs to be removed during the preparation process for veneer placement.

Moreover, individuals without bruxism, commonly known as tooth grinding, are preferred candidates for porcelain veneers. Despite the durability of porcelain, patients with bruxism are at a higher risk of fracturing their dental veneers. In such cases, alternative forms of treatment may be recommended, or the use of an oral appliance, such as a mouth guard, may be suggested to protect the teeth and ensure the longevity of the restorations. Meeting these criteria ensures a smoother and more successful porcelain veneer treatment experience.

REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

The staff at Soda City Dentistry are the best! I’ve always been afraid of the dentist and have never had anything close to an issue or fear with them. They are caring, understanding, and make you feel so comfortable. You get to look at the beautiful view of Soda City while you wait and the chairs even massage as you’re getting your work done! Someone is always checking in to make sure you are comfy and offering a weighted blanket, water, or anything else you might need. They are seriously the best. I’m making an out of state move soon and will still be traveling to come to this dentist. Soda City Dentistry is by far the best dental practice I’ve ever been seen at :)

DENTAL VENEER PROCEDURE TIMELINE

The dental veneer procedure typically follows these steps:
Impressions
Next, we will take detailed impressions of the reshaped teeth, which will be used to fabricate your veneers. Dr. Rob Guerriero then makes a wax mock-up, which is an anatomical model that will show you the anticipated results of treatment.
Placement
After your custom veneers have been created, Dr. Guerriero will call you in for a second appointment. Dr. Rob Guerriero will remove your temporary veneers and check the fit and appearance of each custom-made porcelain shell. As a skilled cosmetic dentist, he is able to adjust each veneer with exceptional precision, creating a natural, beautiful smile for you.

Once you and Dr. Rob Guerriero are satisfied with the appearance of your new veneers, Dr. Rob Guerriero will bond them to your teeth. Your stunning new smile will be ready to show off!
Tooth Prep
Treatment usually takes two appointments. The first visit to our Cayce, South Carolina office begins with a consultation and thorough oral examination to determine if dental veneers are the best treatment option for your goals.

If you and Dr. Rob Guerriero decide veneers are right for your smile, treatment will start with your dentist removing a thin layer of dental enamel from each tooth receiving a veneer. This will allow your veneers to sit flush with your natural teeth and blend in with your smile.
Temporaries
Dr. Guerriero will place temporary veneers to protect your natural teeth while your custom veneers are being crafted.

How Much Do
Dental Veneers Cost?

The cost of dental veneers is unique to each patient and can vary depending on your individual needs and the number of teeth receiving veneers. As with other cosmetic dentistry treatments, veneers are not covered by insurance. To help keep treatment accessible to all our patients, we accept CareCredit® financing, which breaks payments into manageable monthly installments.

HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR VENEERS

Porcelain veneers can brighten your smile, uplifting your appearance. To make the most out of your veneers from our Columbia dental office, we recommend you:

Don't Smoke

Smoking and tobacco products will stain your teeth and increase your risk of gum disease. If you're a smoker, you should quit before seeking veneers.

Good Oral Hygiene

Patients should brush and floss at least twice a day to prevent plaque buildup and cavities. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste will avoid damage to your veneers.

Regular Checkups

To keep your smile looking its brightest, you should attend regular cleanings every six months. During these visits, Dr. Guerriero can examine your veneers and let you know if they need to be replaced.

DENTAL VENEER FAQ’S

Can veneers fix crooked teeth?

While veneers can improve the appearance of mildly crooked teeth, they are not a substitute for orthodontic treatment. Severe misalignments may require orthodontic solutions like braces or clear aligners.

Are veneers stain-resistant?

Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains from foods, beverages, and tobacco products compared to natural teeth. However, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene to preserve their appearance.

Do veneers look natural?

Yes, veneers are custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile enhancement.

Are veneers reversible?

No, the process of preparing teeth for veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel, making it an irreversible procedure. However, advancements in dentistry ensure that minimal enamel is removed, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

How long do dental veneers last?

With proper care, dental veneers can last between 10 to 20 years on average. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices contribute to their longevity.
