Dental Veneers in Bel Air, Maryland

Custom porcelain veneers in Bel Air, MD designed to enhance the shape, color, and symmetry of your smile for a natural-looking, long-lasting transformation.

What Is the Veneer Placement Process at Elevated Smiles?

Getting veneers takes two to three appointments spread over a couple of weeks.

Appointment 1

Dr. Englander removes a thin layer of enamel from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Digital scans or impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab. Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth while you wait.

Appointment 2

The lab-made veneers are checked for fit, shape, and color, then permanently bonded to your teeth with a strong dental adhesive. Any final adjustments are made the same day. Your new smile is complete.

What Are Dental Veneers and What Problems Do They Fix?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells bonded permanently to the front surface of your teeth. They change the color, shape, size, and texture of your teeth all at once and are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available. Veneers can correct stains that do not respond to whitening, chips and cracks, small gaps, teeth that look too short or worn down, and teeth that are slightly uneven or misshapen. The results look completely natural and can last 10 to 20 years with proper care.

Porcelain vs Composite Veneers

Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental lab from high-quality ceramic. They are more durable and stain-resistant than composite, and they mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel more closely. They typically last 10 to 20 years. Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth by the dentist in a single visit and cost less upfront, but they are more prone to staining and usually need to be replaced within five to seven years.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years. To get the most out of them, avoid biting hard objects like ice or pen caps, wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and keep up with your regular checkups. The veneers themselves do not decay, but the teeth and gums underneath them still need ongoing care.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Me?

Veneers are a good option if your teeth are generally healthy but have cosmetic concerns that bother you. Active gum disease and significant decay need to be treated before veneers can be placed. Because a small amount of enamel is removed during the preparation, veneers are a permanent commitment. Dr. Englander will have a thorough, honest conversation with you during your consultation.

How Much Do Veneers Cost?

Porcelain veneers at Elevated Smiles Dentistry typically range from $1,200 to $2,500 per tooth. The total cost depends on how many teeth are being treated and the complexity of your case. Veneers are generally not covered by dental insurance because they are classified as a cosmetic procedure. We offer flexible financing options.

What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental lab from high quality ceramic, offering superior aesthetics, durability, and stain resistance, with results lasting 10 to 20 years. Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth in a single visit and are more affordable, but less durable (lasting 5 to 7 years) and more prone to staining.
