Dental Veneers in St. Petersburg, FL

What Can Veneers Fix?

Veneers are a cosmetic option for the front teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are:

• Stained or discolored and not responding to whitening
• Chipped or worn
• Slightly uneven in shape or size
• Have small gaps between them

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers work best on teeth that are healthy. If you have untreated decay, gum disease, or other dental problems, those need to be addressed before veneers are placed.

Dr. del Rosario will examine your teeth and talk with you about your goals. She will be straightforward with you about whether veneers are the right fit, or whether another option — such as whitening, Invisalign, or crowns — would serve you better.

The Veneer Process

Getting veneers typically takes more than one visit. At your consultation, Dr. del Rosario will examine your teeth, discuss the shape and shade you are looking for, and explain what the process involves.

At the preparation visit, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions or digital records are taken and sent to a dental lab, where your custom veneers are made.

At the bonding visit, the veneers are checked for fit and shade, then bonded to the teeth. Dr. del Rosario will make any final adjustments before you leave.

Veneers and Teeth Whitening

Veneers are made to match a specific shade and do not change color with whitening treatments. If you want your natural teeth to be lighter, it is a good idea to whiten them before your veneers are made, so the shade can be matched to your whitened teeth.

If you are interested in whitening, ask Dr. del Rosario about the right sequence for your treatment.

Other Cosmetic Options

Veneers are one of several cosmetic options we offer. Depending on your goals, other treatments may be a better fit or a good complement to veneers.

We currently offer $500 off Invisalign treatment as a limited time offer. We also offer dental crowns for teeth that need more coverage, and our cosmetic dentistry page covers the full range of options available at Grand Central Smiles.

Caring for Your Veneers

Veneers are durable, but they require the same care as your natural teeth.

• Brush and floss daily
• Keep your regular professional cleanings
• Avoid biting hard objects like ice or fingernails
• Ask about a night guard if you grind your teeth — grinding can damage veneers over time

Cost & Financing

Veneers are usually considered a cosmetic procedure, so most dental insurance plans do not cover them. The cost depends on how many teeth are treated. We will give you the cost before you start.

Financing is available through CareCredit and Sunbit to help spread the cost over time.
