Frequently Asked Questions For Composite Veneers

The cost of our composite veneers varies per client as different cases require more work and effort amongst staff. Most cases can start around $5,000. In most cases, a $500 deposit is required to hold your appointment slot and the remaining balance is due the day of your appointment. We also offer financing for patient’s that are approved after applying for it. 

A Composite Veneer is a layer of resin material  that resembles clay like material placed over a tooth. Veneers can improve the shape size and color of a tooth or smile and protect the tooth’s surface from damage.

Not everyone qualifies for Non-invasive veneers. Disqualifications are as instances like cross bite, underbite, gingivitis, periodontal disease, poor dental hygiene, teeth grinding, uneven/receding gums, and crowding of the teeth.

Veneers will correct slightly misaligned or crooked teeth. But if teeth are severely misaligned, too much pressure would cause the veneers to crack. In this case, you would need to have your teeth straightened first by receiving braces or Invisalign by your Orthodontist.
