Will veneers look fake?
Only if they’re designed that way. Good veneers are matched to your features: the shape of your face, your existing tooth length, how much enamel you show when you talk. The work that screams “veneers” is usually too white and too uniform. That’s not the look we aim for.
Does whitening actually hurt?
Most patients notice only brief, temporary sensitivity in the first day or two. If you’re concerned about it, we’ll talk through your options before treatment.
How long do veneers really last?
Ten to fifteen years is typical for porcelain, longer if you don’t chew ice or grind at night. Bonding lasts five to seven and is easier to repair. We’ll talk about which makes more sense for your habits before we start.
What if I hate the result?
You’ll see and approve the plan in full, shade, shape, and proportion, before anything permanent happens. Nothing moves forward until you’re comfortable with it.
Can I finance it?
Yes. Cherry and CareCredit are the two we work with, and promotional financing options may be available for qualifying patients. We’ll walk you through it at the consult; no commitment to apply.
How fast is fast? When could I start?
It depends on the treatment. Bonding is usually a single visit, and whitening is one in-office session. Veneers and aligners take longer and vary case by case, though our aligner cases often start sooner now that we design and 3D-print the trays in our own office instead of waiting on an outside lab. At your consult, we’ll map out a timeline specific to your plan.
