How Do I Know If Porcelain Veneers Are Right for Me?
Do you see movies or celebrities and think, “I wish I had a smile like that"? Often, these individuals have undergone dental veneer treatment. Because our teeth are often the first thing people notice about us, porcelain veneers are one of the most effective cosmetic treatments, dental or otherwise, an individual can undergo.
If you are preparing for a major life event, such as a wedding, veneers can help you look your best on a big day in a short amount of time. This cosmetic treatment can often deliver beauty and symmetry that teeth whitening or orthodontics alone cannot, and patients can choose to treat anywhere from one to several teeth.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?
The cost of a dental veneer treatment can start at $600 to $1,200 per tooth. The cost will vary depending on how many veneers are placed, the material you choose, and other specifics.
Typically, dental insurance does not cover the cost of veneers. If you have concerns about the affordability of this treatment option, please do not hesitate to voice your questions and concerns to Dr. Carlin or any of our staff members.
We will work with you and your budget to ensure that your cosmetic goals are met and that you are fully satisfied with your new smile. Our office gladly accepts CareCredit® financing to help break the cost of your treatment into affordable monthly payments.
Am I a Candidate for Veneers?
You Are in Good Oral Health
Patients must be free of oral health issues such as gum disease and tooth decay to ensure a healthy foundation for cosmetic treatments. The tooth structure must also be healthy enough to support veneers.
You Have Aesthetic Flaws
Veneers are designed to address cosmetic issues with your smile. If you have concerns that impact the health and function of your teeth, restorative or general dentistry treatments may be better for you.
You Are Ready to Invest in Your Smile
Because veneers are considered cosmetic and not medically necessary, dental insurance often does not cover them. You must be ready to invest in your smile.
How Are Porcelain Veneers Made and Placed?
Our practice offers traditional and minimal-prep options. Minimal-prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that require very little enamel to be removed. We can also use composite resin to achieve similar effects in just one appointment, though the results will not be quite as realistic or long-lasting.
What Does Veneer Treatment Look Like?
Porcelain veneer treatment is quick and easy. Here is a look at what the typical treatment timeline looks like:
Dental veneers are a popular form of cosmetic dentistry that can address a variety of aesthetic flaws to improve the appearance of your smile.
What to Expect After Your Visit
It is not uncommon for patients to experience minor side effects following the prepping or veneer placement portions of this cosmetic treatment. Veneers often require removing a small amount of enamel, which can lead to temporary heightened temperature sensitivity. The cosmetic treatment also changes the size and shape of teeth. This may lead to the feeling that your bite feels “off," but your mouth will naturally adjust to the veneers in the days and weeks following placement.
It is generally advisable to avoid hot or cold food or drinks for the first few days after undergoing this cosmetic treatment. If your side effects are still noticeable after several weeks, please notify Dr. Carlin.
Aftercare Tips
Patients should follow good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing, to prevent decay in the underlying tooth structure. Gum disease can lead to gum recession, which can expose portions of the veneer that are meant to be concealed. Patients should never use their teeth to rip or tear material or packaging. If your veneer becomes loose or dislodged, please notify our Hendersonville office immediately.
Treatment Alternatives
Our dentist offers multiple cosmetic treatments. Dental bonding, teeth whitening, and dental crowns can provide some of the same results as veneers and may be more appropriate depending on your concerns and goals. If you struggle with multiple cosmetic concerns, Dr. Carlin offers fully customizable smile makeover plans that can be tailored to your unique needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers in Hendersonville
Does veneer placement hurt?
No. Porcelain veneers are a practically painless treatment, as only a small amount of enamel is removed. If you have particularly sensitive teeth, your dentist can numb the area with a local anesthetic to ensure you are completely comfortable during your treatment.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, your veneers can last for up to 15 years or more. However, it is important to remember that the veneer will wear over time and eventually need to be replaced. Once the tooth is altered, you will always require some sort of restoration to protect the tooth structure.
Is there a limit to how many veneers I can have placed?
As long as your teeth are healthy, there is no limit to how many dental veneers you can have placed. However, veneers are only suitable for front teeth due to how thin they are. If you have an anterior tooth that requires restoration, a dental crown may be more suitable due to the bite force exerted on those teeth.
