Dental Veneers for Chipped Teeth: Frequently Asked Questions

At Implant and Comprehensive Dentistry in Champions Gate and Celebration, we can offer advice on whether dental veneers are a suitable solution for a beautiful smile. So if you are considering dental veneers for chipped teeth, we have provided answers to the frequently asked questions about this treatment to help you make an informed decision.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers for chipped teeth are thin pieces of porcelain that are fixed to the surface of the crooked, chipped or broken teeth to enhance their appearance.
How Many Dental Veneers Do I Need?
The number of dental veneers you need will depend on the number of chipped teeth. In some cases, more than six dental veneers are not recommended on the front teeth because any changes to the canine teeth without changing the premolar teeth produces an unnatural look. A consultation with our dentist can help you determine how many dental veneers for chipped teeth you will need.
How Long Does the Whole Process Take?
The whole process of fixing dental veneers for chipped teeth takes between one to two hours. If you have more chipped teeth that need replacement, it will take two appointments of two to three weeks apart.
Does the Process Hurt?
The placement of dental veneers for chipped teeth is typically a pain-free procedure. Our dentist will apply a numbing agent when removing the chipped teeth enamel and attaching the veneers. In cases where six or more dental veneers are fixed, you may feel some soreness in the jaw or gums during the first few days.
How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?
Dental veneers for chipped teeth may last 5 to 10 years without the need for replacement. If they are properly maintained, they can last even longer without breaking or chipping. Professional cleaning is usually needed every six months.
Do Dental Veneers Get Stained?
Dental veneers for chipped teeth do not get stained by red wine, coffee or tea. However, you should maintain hygiene and avoid foods that lead to staining of the teeth.
How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost?
The cost of placing dental veneers for chipped teeth ranges from $500 to $1000 per tooth. Some of the factors that determine the cost include the type of dental veneer, the number of chipped teeth and the dentist’s experience. Usually, health insurance does not cover the cost of placing dental veneers.
