After your consultation, your Norfolk cosmetic dentist, Dr. Xi Sun, Dr. David Iadarola, or Dr. Jeremy Nguyen, will examine your oral health to rule out periodontal disease or decay, which can interfere with your results.
Your dentist will also examine your bite and identify any signs of teeth grinding. People who grind their teeth may need to wear a nightguard after treatment to protect their investment.
As soon as your oral health is in optimal shape, we can talk to you about the dental veneers process at our Norfolk, MA dental office.
We will determine, along with your input, the number of veneers that will give you the smile you have always wanted. We even design a “practice smile” with temporaries for you to try out before your final restorations are made.
Finally, our dentists will determine the ideal shade and coloring to match veneers to your natural teeth. After all, a seamless smile is always more beautiful. We create your dental veneers either here in our Norfolk, MA dental office or with a trusted lab, depending on your specific design.
When we receive your final veneers, we will arrange an appointment to bond them permanently to your teeth and make any tiny adjustments needed for your comfort and function. You will leave our dental office with the smile of your dreams.
Dental Bonding Vs. Veneers
Dental bonding and veneers are cosmetic procedures that can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces between them.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding Procedure
Cosmetic bonding is usually a quick and comfortable procedure. Bonding may not require the use of anesthesia, and we can complete the treatment in one visit. The technique and materials used differ for each procedure. With bonding, tooth-colored materials are attached or bonded, to a tooth surface. We do not need to alter the teeth in any way prior to treatment. We can fix flaws with your smile, including gaps, chips, and cracks, with cosmetic bonding at our Norfolk, MA dental practice.
Bonding is also used to protect teeth when exposed tooth roots result because of gum recession. Cosmetic bonding at our Norfolk dental office usually lasts from three to five years. It is one of the quickest ways to improve the look of flawed teeth!
Dental Veneers
Veneers are a custom-made solution that may require more than one visit if made from a lab. Veneers are made from composite resins, acrylic material, or porcelain. Placing veneers is often an irreversible process because a small amount of enamel is usually removed to accommodate the thickness of the covering.
Like any restoration, over time it may need to be replaced. If you take good care of your teeth with brushing and flossing, plus visiting your Norfolk, MA general and cosmetic dentist every six months for examinations and cleanings, you can expect your veneers to last for a good while.

Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are strong and made to last. Like natural teeth, however, they can become damaged from biting into certain items, like ice cubes or a fruit pit. Using common sense caution will prolong the life of your restorations.
It is also essential to care for your teeth and gums at home and with regular dental visits for a cleaning and exam. While porcelain will not decay, the underlying tooth can! Practicing impeccable prevention is the best insurance for your new smile.
Insurance Coverage for Cosmetic Dental Care
Unfortunately, you cannot count on your dental insurance to cover your dental veneers treatment. Veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, and dental insurance typically only covers treatments that are medically necessary. But this doesn’t mean you cannot get the smile of your dreams.
