The Benefits Of Veneers
Improved Aesthetics
Veneers are a fantastic way to enhance your smile. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic issues, including stains, chips, gaps, and misalignments. Each veneer is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and attractive result.
Durability
Veneers are made from durable materials that resist staining and wear. This means they not only look great but also stand the test of time. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, your veneers can last up to 15 years or longer.
Minimal Intervention
Unlike other dental procedures, veneers require minimal alteration of your natural teeth. Only a small amount of enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer, preserving the majority of your natural tooth structure. This makes veneers a less invasive option for improving your smile.
The Veneers Treatment Process
Consultation and Planning
The first step in the veneers process is a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Kutanovski. During this appointment, he will assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether veneers are the best solution for you. He will then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Preparation
Once your treatment plan is established, Dr. Kutanovski will prepare your teeth for the veneers. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. He will then take impressions of your teeth to ensure your veneers are a perfect fit.
Application
The final step involves bonding the veneers to your teeth. Dr. Kutanovski will carefully apply each veneer, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your natural teeth. Once the veneers are in place, he will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable and your smile looks fantastic.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Traditional veneers are bonded permanently and are not intended to be removed. The procedure is irreversible as it requires a thin layer of enamel to be permanently removed from your teeth. After your treatment, you'll need to care for your veneers properly, replacing them if they break or get dislodged.
The lifespan of veneers varies and largely depends on how well you maintain them. Most patients can expect their veneers to last between 15 and 20 years. Over time, your veneers may show wear and tear, and individual veneers might need repair or replacement. Maintaining good oral hygiene extends the lifespan of your veneers. Be sure to regularly brush and floss, go to your dental visits every six months, and avoid activities that could damage or dislodge your veneers.
Veneers are typically made of a high-quality ceramic porcelain material that looks and feels just like natural tooth enamel. The porcelain will be matched to the color of your teeth and is very similar to enamel in hardness and translucence, making it an ideal material for enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Veneers and Lumineers are quite similar, with the primary difference being that Lumineers are much thinner than traditional veneers. Lumineers are a specific brand of veneers made from a proprietary ceramic material. They're typically about 0.2mm thick, while traditional veneers are about 0.5mm thick. As such, Lumineers often don't require trimming of your existing enamel and are sometimes referred to as “no-prep” or “minimal-prep” veneers.
The cost of veneers varies depending on the number of teeth receiving veneers, your overall oral health, and the size and shape of each tooth, among other factors. For an accurate cost estimate, it's best to contact your dentist for a cosmetic consultation. During the consultation, your dentist will examine your mouth, assess your oral health, and provide a quote for veneers treatment.
