Getting Veneers is Simple and Easy
Before starting the process, we take the time to understand your goals and motivations for improving your smile. Our first priority is ensuring that veneers are the perfect solution for your needs. If necessary, we may recommend a preliminary treatment plan to optimize your gum health, providing a strong and healthy foundation for your veneers.
Preparing The Teeth
To make space for the veneers, we carefully remove a very thin layer of enamel from the front surface of your teeth. This process is done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Once prepared, we take impressions of your teeth, ensuring your veneers will fit perfectly and blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Creation and Placement
While your permanent veneers are being custom-crafted, we fit you with temporary veneers to maintain your comfort and appearance. Once your permanent veneers are ready, the temporary ones are removed, and the custom veneers are securely bonded in place. Final adjustments and polishing complete the process, leaving you with a radiant, flawless smile.
Caring for Your Veneers
After placement, we’ll guide you on how to care for your veneers to keep them looking and feeling great. Treat your veneers as you would your natural teeth—brush and floss regularly, and maintain routine dental cleanings and checkups. With proper care, your veneers can last 10 years or more, providing a long-lasting investment in your confidence and appearance.

The Cost Of Veneers In Wake Forest
The cost of dental veneers can vary widely based on your unique dental needs and goals. With insurance, a single veneer may cost between $300 and $750 or more. Without insurance, prices typically start at $1,500 per veneer and can go higher.
Several factors influence veneer pricing, including the number of veneers needed, the level of preparation and application work required, the type of veneers selected, and your personal aesthetic goals for your smile.
Since each smile is unique, it’s not possible to provide an accurate price estimate over the phone. A consultation and oral examination with a dentist are essential to determine your treatment options and get a precise cost estimate tailored to your needs.
If you have dental insurance, we’ll provide a detailed quote to help you understand what your provider may cover and any out-of-pocket expenses. This ensures you can make an informed decision about your investment in a beautiful, lasting smile.

The number of veneers you need depends on your smile goals. Many people choose to apply veneers only to the teeth that are most visible when they smile, while others opt for a more comprehensive approach. The choice is entirely yours.
With proper care, veneers can last 10 to 15 years, offering a long-lasting solution for a brighter, more confident smile.
