Risks with Porcelain Veneers
With Dr. Goodman and his experienced dental staff, Kansas City patients are always in trusted hands with any service. However, not everyone may be a candidate for Porcelain Veneers and it is recommended to know any possible risks that could occur.
- Cost and Financing for Porcelain Veneers
Dental Insurance Benefits are not usually available from insurance companies for Porcelain Veneers since they are considered an elective cosmetic solution for teeth for the main purpose of improving the appearance and durability of teeth. Porcelain Veneers are masterfully created to give those once flawed a beautiful and confident smile, which to many is considered a priceless investment. Our friendly dental office offers convenient dental financing for Porcelain Veneers and other dental services so that you can have the smile of your dreams on your own affordable terms.
- Longevity of Porcelain Veneers
As a result of the light etching done to the surface of a tooth to allow proper cementing of the Porcelain Veneer, it is important to understand this treatment is non-reversible and permanent. It is rare that a Porcelain Veneer may become loosened or come off the tooth and need to be re-cemented. Overtime the mouth will age, possibly shift, or the Porcelain Veneers will become worn down from daily habits and usually needs replacement after 15-25 years.
Why Porcelain Veneers are the leading Cosmetic Makeover Solution
Another benefit to Porcelain Veneers is that the minor risks associated are significantly out weighed by the benefits. With proper oral health care of regular brushing, flossing, routine exams and recommendations from Dr. Goodman, any risks are lowered significantly.
