I’ve never felt secure with a dentist until I found Dr Baker. He is so caring and always takes his time to explain everything. He truly cares about his patients. Having a dentist you can trust is priceless. The office is clean and homey. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I no longer dread going to the dentist.

Best Dentist in the area. Great hygienists and the dentists always take the time to discuss any areas of improvement or concern. Other places I feel like they are rushing you in and out as quickly as possible. I have recommended at least 4 people to go there and they all love it. If Baker or Upton are unsure of the best course of treatment, they will call other specialists to get their opinion. My wife went to 3 other dentists before Baker, and he was able to figure out the issue after a week. I can not recommend them enough.

Highly recommend. As someone who finds dental work very aversive, Dr. Baker and Kelly were awesome. The whole team was so welcoming and the work itself was a breeze compared to previous experiences elsewhere.

Just had my second visit to Dr. Upton. On my first visit, Dr. and his assistant, Jessica, did a thorough evaluation of my situation. He asked me questions about my dental history and actually listened carefully to my concerns. Then he left to review my x-rays and options for treatment. When he returned, he gave me some options, which I REALLY appreciated. He even took into consideration my dietary habits and the fact I don't like prescription medications. Not even my physicians gave me that kind of concern!! Today I had my tooth pulled out and he took into consideration my financial situation and did it under local anesthesia, where my previous experience was done under general anesthesia. It was less expensive and totally tolerable. I'm glad that he considers the whole patient, the tolerance to pain, the budget and the treatment preferences. I also appreciate that he sat on a stool and spoke to me face to face. His office staff, Jessica, Megan and Priscilla are all equally attentive and considerate. Thank you everyone 💓! Yes, I would recommend their services to anyone in need of dental care.

Transforming Smiles, Transforming Lives

Choosing veneers is a transformative experience that extends well beyond dental aesthetics. It’s about instilling a sense of confidence and happiness that shines through in all life’s facets. Reflect on the moments you’ve held back due to smile insecurities. Our mission is to guide you towards your ideal smile, enabling you to confidently step into various life scenarios:

  • Capturing joyful moments in photographs with loved ones.
  • Being the radiant star at important celebrations.
  • Celebrating milestones of friends and family with confidence.
  • Leaving a lasting, positive impression in professional encounters.
  • Experiencing the excitement of a first date with confidence. With our expertise, we’ll help you develop a smile that you’ll be eager to display, no matter the situation or the company you’re in.

Getting Veneers Is Simple And Easy

Before beginning, we’re eager to understand your motivations and objectives for improving your teeth. Our priority is to confirm that veneers are the ideal choice for your smile aspirations. To guarantee the best results, we might suggest a preliminary treatment plan to optimize your gum health. This approach ensures that your veneers are supported by a robust and healthy foundation.

Preparing The Teeth

To accommodate the veneer, we gently remove a small layer of enamel from the front surface of your tooth. Rest assured, we’ll numb the area for your comfort, and the amount of enamel removed is minimal. Following this, we’ll create an impression of your prepared tooth and its adjacent teeth, ensuring your veneer fits seamlessly and complements your smile.

Creation And Placement

While your permanent veneers are being crafted, a temporary veneer will be fitted for your convenience and comfort. When your custom veneers are complete, we’ll gently remove the temporary ones and securely affix the permanent veneers in place. With some final adjustments and a polish, your smile will be all set to shine brilliantly.

Caring For Your Veneers

Upon receiving your new veneers, we’ll provide you with comprehensive guidelines on how to maintain them effectively. It’s important to treat your veneers as you would your natural teeth, ensuring they look and feel great. Regular brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental cleanings and checkups are essential. With diligent care, you can expect your veneers to last a decade or longer.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

The Cost Of Veneers In Wake Forest

The cost of dental veneers varies greatly depending on individual circumstances. Typically, with insurance, a single veneer might cost between $200 and $600 or more. Without insurance, you can expect a starting price range of approximately $800 to $1200 and above for a veneer.

Several factors influence the price of veneers, including:

  • The number of veneers required.
  • The extent of preparation and application work involved.
  • The type of veneers chosen.
  • Your specific aesthetic goals for your smile.

It’s important to note that accurate pricing cannot be provided over the phone. Every person’s dental needs and desires are unique, much like their smile. A consultation and oral examination with a dentist are essential to explore all treatment options and receive a precise cost estimate. If you have dental insurance, we can provide a detailed quote for you to submit to your insurance provider. This helps you understand your out-of-pocket expenses before making a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Porcelain veneers are usually referred to as “traditional” veneers. They are extremely durable and are virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth to the naked eye. Because they are made up of porcelain, they are stain-resistant.

The choice of how many veneers to get is entirely yours. You might consider getting veneers only for the teeth that show prominently when you smile.

With proper service they can last up to 10-15 years.

Maintain your veneers just as you would your natural teeth. Brush them at least twice a day using a gentle toothpaste, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash once or twice a day. Steer clear of sugary or acidic foods and beverages after brushing, particularly before bedtime. Remember to schedule your regular dental cleanings and checkups every six months!
