What is a Dental Veneer?
A veneer is a permanent ultra-thin shell that is tooth-colored and fits directly over the front of your existing tooth. Ultimately, these shells can change the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth.
Often, this type of treatment is referred to as a “smile makeover.” Why? Veneers can greatly improve the appearance of two things: your smile and your teeth. What else? Nearly all dental veneer patients see an instant boost in self-confidence.
Cost of Dental Veneer Treatment
The cost of dental veneers varies and entirely depends upon your dentist’s location, the type of veneers you chose, and how many your cosmetic dentist near me in Lincoln, NE will place.
Dental veneer cost depending upon the type is as follows:
Option 1
Porcelain Veneers
$900-$1500 (per tooth)

Frequently Asked Questions about…
Dental Veneers
What are the disadvantages of veneers?
Dental veneers are irreversible because your dentist must remove a thin layer of enamel before fitting the veneer over your tooth. In addition, removing a layer of enamel can make a tooth more sensitive to cold and heat. Also, porcelain veneers can chip and crack.
If you have extensive tooth decay, unfortunately those teeth are not suitable for veneers. In this case, you would want to add support and stability with a dental crown.
Do your real teeth rot under veneers?
The short answer is, no. Veneers do not cause cavities, but in order for veneers to look life-like and natural, it is necessary to remove a thin layer of enamel. This process does not increase your chances of suffering from tooth decay. The portion of your tooth that is lost in preparation is ultimately protected by your new veneer.
Can veneers be taken off or removed?
Dental veneers can be removed, but doing so can leave the tooth compromised. The successful removal of the veneer fully depends upon your dentist’s skill. If your veneers were properly fitted and applied initially, there should not be any reason that they would need to be removed.
How much does a full set of veneers cost?
In general, just like any other medical procedure, the cost of a complete set of dental veneers does vary when done by a dentist. Cosmetic dentists only apply veneers to highly visible teeth. On average, a set of six dental veneers can cost around $900-$1500 per veneer. Because dental veneers are considered cosmetic, they likely won’t be covered by insurance.
Are dental veneers worth it?
Because dental veneers can last ten plus years, they are considered a long-term dental investment that can leave you feeling good about your smile. Many people who have invested in veneers find that the value and boost in self-confidence are worth the cost.
Are Lumineers® better than veneers?
Lumineers® are a good choice if you are considering veneers. Something to keep in mind, however, is that Lumineers® are a bit more translucent. In general, Lumineers® are thinner than traditional veneers, so for this reason, Lumineers® would not be a good choice if you have severely discolored teeth. If you have questions regarding making the right choice for your oral health, our dentist in Lincoln, NE would be happy to help!
Can veneers make you more attractive?
We all know a beautiful smile is the most attractive thing you can wear. So, if you are trying to obtain a gorgeous smile in the least invasive manner, veneers or dental bonding make excellent options. Teeth that are uniform and white can essentially improve the overall appearance of not just your smile but your entire face.
