Restoring your smile, or achieving the smile you have always hoped for, is easy with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells of porcelain that are bonded on the surface of your tooth in order to solve a wide variety of aesthetic problems. They are virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth; creating a beautiful and natural look to your smile.

The decision to visit Dr. Schaffer to talk about porcelain veneers is the first step in creating a perfect smile. During your first visit, the types of corrections will be discussed and an evaluation of your teeth will be made, to determine if porcelain veneers are the best method for you.

During your next visit, Dr. Schaffer will prepare the surfaces of your teeth that will be bonded to the veneers and he will also create a bite impression. The bite impression ensures that the porcelain veneers be created to fit the exact specifications of your smile, creating a look that appears natural.

While your permanent veneers are being created, Dr. Schaffer will affix temporary veneers that will look and feel just like natural teeth. Once the permanent veneers are completed, Dr. Schaffer will replace the temporary veneers with your permanent veneers, completing the process. Your new veneers will look fantastic and will be easy to care for.

If you have considered porcelain veneers in the past but decided against them because of the cost, we have several options to make them more affordable for you. Achieving a beautiful smile with porcelain veneers at a cost right for you may be more possible than you think.

Cosmetic dentistry, once a luxury, is becoming more attainable for those who may have previously passed on improving the looks of their smiles. Dr. Schaffer and his team make your porcelain veneers more affordable by offering financing and by working with various insurance agencies to help fit your smile transformation into your budget.

Financing

Here at Dr. Schaffer's office we use Care Credit to help you finance your cosmetic procedure. If approved, you can pay for your procedure at a pace that is right for you, through a short-term or long-term low, at low or no interest. You can use Care Credit to finance procedures from $300 to $25,000.

Insurance

We work with most major dental insurance providers to help cover the costs of your porcelain veneers and we would be happy to file your claims for you. Unfortunately, very few insurance providers will cover the whole cost of the procedure, therefore, a combination of insurance and our financing options may be best for you.
