Veneers in Bellevue
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth, correcting chips, stains, gaps, and minor alignment issues in one cohesive treatment. At EZ Dental Clinic, we design veneers that look natural and fit your smile goals.
Request an AppointmentVeneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available, able to address several concerns at once, including discoloration that doesn’t respond to teeth whitening, chipped or worn edges, small gaps between teeth, and teeth that are slightly misshapen or uneven.
The process begins with a consultation to discuss your goals, followed by a small amount of preparation on the front surface of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions are then used to create custom shells, typically made of porcelain, that are bonded securely in place. The result is designed to look like your own natural teeth, just brighter and more uniform.
Veneers work best on teeth that are otherwise structurally healthy. If a tooth needs additional support, we may recommend a crown instead, which covers the entire tooth rather than just the front surface. For patients missing teeth alongside cosmetic concerns, we’ll also discuss options like dental implants or bridges as part of a complete treatment plan. Visit our Cosmetic Dentistry page to see how veneers fit alongside our other smile-focused treatments.
With proper care, veneers can last well over a decade. Curious whether veneers are right for your smile? Call (425) 746-6090 to schedule a consultation, and visit our insurance page for coverage details.
Veneers in Bellevue: Frequently Asked Questions
What dental issues can veneers fix?
Veneers can address discoloration, chips, small gaps, and minor shape or alignment issues, all in one cohesive treatment.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers involve some permanent removal of enamel, so once placed, the tooth will always need a veneer or similar restoration. The veneers themselves typically last a decade or more before needing replacement.
Do veneers require any special care?
Veneers should be brushed and flossed like natural teeth, and patients are usually advised to avoid biting extremely hard foods to protect the restoration.
How many veneers do I need?
This depends on your goals. Some patients choose veneers for just one or two teeth, while others opt for a full set across the smile line for a more uniform look.
What’s the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth and are ideal for cosmetic changes, while crowns cover the entire tooth and are typically used when more structural support is needed.
Will veneers look natural?
Yes, veneers are custom-shaded and shaped to complement your smile and facial features for a natural-looking result.
Is getting veneers covered by insurance?
Veneers are generally considered a cosmetic treatment and are typically not covered by insurance. Our team can go over pricing and financing options during your consultation.
