The Porcelain Veneers Process

Dr. Sager and our experienced staff can enhance your smile with porcelain veneers in just a couple of appointments here at our Hewitt office. During your initial consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and determine if veneers are the right option for you.

If your smile is perfect for the procedure, we’ll begin the veneer process by first taking impressions of your teeth. This will be used to create your custom veneers, with the process taking two weeks to complete. Once your restorations are ready, you’ll return to our Hewitt practice to complete the procedure. The good news is that the process of applying your porcelain veneers is relatively quick and non-invasive.

Your dentist will ensure that the fit and color of your veneers are perfect before using a special dental adhesive to bond them securely to your teeth. Once in place, you’ll be able to show off your stunning new smile to your friends and family.

Caring For Your Veneers

Dr. Sager will have you come back to our practice a few weeks after your placement to check the condition of your porcelain veneers. We’ll ensure that they’re functioning well and are built to last. To make your veneers last as long as possible, it’s important to care for them like your natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day and flossing daily. We also recommend using toothpaste with non-invasive ingredients like baking soda to avoid scratching them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the porcelain veneers procedure painful?

Receiving porcelain veneers is painless since the procedure itself is non-invasive. To ensure you won’t feel any pain or discomfort, your dentist will administer a local anesthetic beforehand. While it’s normal to feel some mild sensitivity right after treatment, this usually fades within only a few hours and is easily manageable.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can typically last for seven to 15 years with proper care. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash after eating. It’s important to also schedule biannual checkups with Dr. Sager at our Hewitt office to examine your veneers to see if there are any issues. To help them last even longer, avoid potentially damaging habits such as chewing on ice cubes or biting your fingernails.

What if my porcelain veneers fall off or are damaged?

If your veneers get damaged or fall out, we recommend keeping the area clean and calling our Hewitt practice right away at (254) 666-1686. Don’t attempt to fix the veneer yourself, as this may lead to further damage. Dr. Sager will examine your teeth’s health and have a replacement created so that you can go back to smiling with confidence.

Does dental insurance cover veneers?

Most dental insurance companies don’t cover the cost of porcelain veneers since it’s considered a cosmetic procedure. However, our practice recommends contacting your insurance provider anyway to get an accurate understanding of your policy and benefits. At Central Texas Dental Care, we also offer financing options to help make your procedure affordable and accessible.
