Libertyville Porcelain Veneers

At Dental Health & Beauty, porcelain veneers typically range from $1,500 to $2,200 per tooth. The total investment depends on several factors, including the number of veneers needed, the complexity of your case, and any additional treatments required. While porcelain veneers represent a significant investment, their durability, natural appearance, and transformative effect make them a valuable long-term solution for enhancing your smile. We understand that cosmetic dental work is an important decision, which is why we offer financing options through CareCredit and our DHB dental program to help make veneers more affordable. During your consultation with Dr. Polito, we'll provide a detailed cost breakdown specific to your customized treatment plan.

While Dental Health & Beauty is out-of-network with insurance providers, we accept and submit insurance claims on your behalf. Most dental insurance plans classify porcelain veneers as an elective cosmetic procedure and typically do not provide coverage. However, if veneers are being used to restore teeth damaged by an accident or injury, partial insurance coverage may be possible. Our team will help you understand your benefits and maximize any potential coverage. For patients without insurance coverage for veneers, we offer the DHB dental program and financing options through CareCredit, which allows you to spread the cost of treatment over time with affordable monthly payments. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of costs and discuss all available payment options to help make your dream smile accessible.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer. The durability of your veneers depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene practices, lifestyle habits, and how well you protect your veneers from excessive force. While porcelain is highly resistant to staining and chipping, veneers aren't indestructible. Avoiding habits like nail biting, chewing ice, or using your teeth as tools will help extend their lifespan. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings at Dental Health & Beauty are essential for monitoring the condition of your veneers and ensuring the health of your underlying teeth and gums. When veneers eventually need replacement, the process is similar to the initial placement, though some additional preparation may be necessary.

Yes, porcelain veneers created by Dr. Nicholas Polito at Dental Health & Beauty are designed to look completely natural. Dr. Polito is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and brings over 30 years of experience to his cosmetic work. He carefully selects the shade, shape, and size of each veneer to complement your facial features, skin tone, and remaining natural teeth. The high-quality porcelain material used for your veneers mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, creating a lifelike appearance. Dr. Polito works closely with master ceramists who craft each veneer with subtle variations in color and translucency to match the natural characteristics of teeth. The result is a beautiful smile enhancement that others will notice without being able to tell you've had dental work done.

Porcelain veneers cannot be whitened once they are placed. The porcelain material used in veneers is highly stain-resistant but does not respond to whitening treatments like natural teeth. This is why Dr. Polito takes great care in selecting the ideal shade for your veneers during the planning process. If you're considering teeth whitening in addition to veneers, we recommend completing the whitening treatment before your veneer process begins, so your veneers can be color-matched to your whitened natural teeth.

If your veneers eventually appear darker than you'd like compared to your natural teeth, the only solution would be to replace them. To maintain the bright appearance of your smile after getting veneers, practice good oral hygiene and consider touch-up whitening treatments for any visible natural teeth.

The best way to determine if porcelain veneers are right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nicholas Polito at Dental Health & Beauty. During this appointment, Dr. Polito will evaluate your teeth, listen to your smile goals, and discuss whether veneers are the most appropriate solution for your specific concerns. He may recommend alternatives like teeth whitening, Invisalign, or dental bonding depending on your needs.

If veneers are suitable, Dr. Polito will explain the process in detail, including what to expect during and after treatment. You'll have the opportunity to view before-and-after photos of actual patients and ask any questions you may have. With Dr. Polito's expertise in cosmetic dentistry and commitment to patient education, you can feel confident in making an informed decision about enhancing your smile with porcelain veneers.
