Even if you need dental veneers<\/a>, you may think they\u2019ll be too expensive.  After all, they\u2019re usually made of porcelain, something that naturally blends with the size, color, and structure of your teeth. It only makes sense, given such high-quality, that treatment would be costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what if you could get your veneers made with different materials?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the popular choice, porcelain isn\u2019t the only material dentists can offer. Find out what\u2019s really available in this guide to alternative dental veneers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Composite Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Composite veneers, also known as bonded veneers, use a resin material to cover your damaged tooth\u2019s front end. Less invasive and quicker to implement, the resin complements the tooth\u2019s surface and hides displeasing chips. Furthermore, composite veneers, unlike their porcelain counterparts, are reversible. As the procedure is smooth and nothing is permanently altered, they can be removed should patients change their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, this veneer type has high maintenance costs, being more susceptible to chipping or staining that requires dentist visits for repairs. Furthermore, composite veneers only hold a shelf life of five to 10 years, depending on the level of oral care practiced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palatal Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Palatal veneers, unlike most others, focus on the inside surfaces of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More specifically, palatal veneers apply to the back of teeth, rather than the front. This rear placement, then, improves said teeth by strengthening them from behind. Because of this unique function, palatal veneers are often made from gold, though porcelain and resin can also be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumineer\u2122 Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Made from Cerinate\u00ae, Lumineers\u2122 are extremely thin but strong veneers. Placed with a painless, needleless procedure limited to two visits at most, they have durability and high resistance that lets them last over 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumineer\u2122 veneers cover discoloration in your teeth. Though delicate-looking, they also reinforce tooth strength with their hard composition. Given such qualities, Lumineers can also cost surprisingly less than porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, they still can detach after application if not cared for properly. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to follow all of your dentist\u2019s instructions, like brushing your teeth twice a day and avoiding unhealthy dental habits, like smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain dental veneers tend to be the standard, but you can get other kinds if the former exceeds your budget. Go ahead, then, and call your dentist for veneers to help your smile shine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
