Question 2

How We Restore Smiles with Custom Veneers

Accepted Answer

When you visit our Tamarack Hills Family Dentistry office, we start by taking digital impressions of your teeth so we can create the perfect veneer for you. Then we need to prepare your tooth by removing a portion of the enamel. This also helps the veneer lay flat in line with your gum tissue. After preparing your tooth, Dr. Avi Matha secures a temporary veneer using removable glue. While wearing this temp, it’s important to brush your teeth gently and avoid eating any foods that may push it out of place. When your permanent porcelain veneer is ready, you’ll return to our office and Dr. Matha will remove the temp and make sure the permanent one fits perfectly. If any adjustments are required, this is done prior to permanently bonding the veneer to your tooth. We recommend eating only soft foods for a few days. While veneers require a short recovery period, you’ll soon discover the trade-off is worth it when you look in the mirror and see your beautiful and dazzling pearly white smile!

Question 3

Are veneers safe?

Accepted Answer

Veneers are generally safe when applied by a qualified dentist using high-quality materials. However, like any dental procedure, there are potential risks such as tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, or damage to the underlying tooth. It’s essential to consult with a trusted dental professional to assess your candidacy and discuss any concerns before proceeding with veneers. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can provide long-lasting aesthetic improvements to your smile.

Question 4

Will my insurance pay for veneers?

Accepted Answer

Wondering if your insurance covers veneers? It depends on your specific policy. While some dental insurance plans may provide partial coverage for medically necessary veneers due to structural issues, most consider them a cosmetic procedure and do not cover the cost. However, it’s essential to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options accurately. At Tamarack Hills Family Dentistry, we can assist you in navigating your insurance benefits and exploring financing options for veneers.
