A tooth veneer is a thin layer of material placed over a tooth surface typically on the outside, either to improve the appearance of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth. These can be porcelain or made of a composite material built up directly on the teeth. Porcelain veneers typically require the removal of some existing tooth material to accommodate the additional thickness. Porcelain veneers are more durable and less likely to stain than veneers made of composite. The cosmetic benefits of tooth veneers can be striking. A bad tooth can be quickly transformed into a great part of a beautiful small. Today, with improved cements and bonding agents, tooth veneers will last 10-30 years.
The cost of veneers in Fairfax can vary depending on the type and number of veneers you are interested in. Typical costs for veneers in Fairfax range from $1000 a tooth upwards to $2500 or more.
