All too often, patients assume that their dream smile is simply out of reach. That’s not the case! In fact, several cosmetic dental services today can fix a number of dental problems at once. Veneers are a great example of that because they can conceal gaps, chips, stains, and the like. Plus, you won’t need to commit to a 6+ month-long treatment plan; the entire process of transforming your smile can be done in as little as two visits to our office. Want to learn more? Then get in touch with us to schedule a consultation or read on!
Since veneers are widely loved by people in the public eye, like movie stars and social media influencers, you’ve probably seen them countless times. But what exactly are they? In short, high-quality dental materials like porcelain are made into thin shells that are about the width of a fingernail. Since the size, shape, and shade are completely customizable, they can conceal a wide range of dental imperfections with ease, including permanent discoloration.
The very first step is your consultation with Dr. Mahler, which is when he will sit down with you to discuss your dental history, oral health, and smile goals. If he determines that you’re a good candidate for veneers, then a custom treatment plan will be made, and your teeth will be “prepped” (a sliver of enamel is removed). While the lab artisans are working on your veneers, we will provide you with temporary ones and share some helpful information on how to care for them. As soon as they are ready, we’ll call you back into our office to secure your final veneers in place.
If you’re wondering why patients and professionals alike love veneers, here are a few reasons:
The cost of veneers varies because each patient’s aesthetic goals vary! In other words, the only way we can provide you with an accurate estimate of the price is by learning about your unique dental needs and smile goals at your consultation. From there, we can create your custom treatment plan, give you a number, and answer any questions you have. Of course, we will also review the financial solutions available to make the price more budget-friendly, including CareCredit.
Our patients’ satisfaction is our top priority. From routine checkups to advanced dental care, we make sure every smile leaves our office healthier and happier.
Great expertise. A 1 in a million phenomenon. The destroyer of TMJ. Other dentists tremble at the sound of the name doctor Mahler (and I’m not talking about the weight loss doctor in Lockport) because they know they cannot compete no matter how hard they try.
Missael S.Just had my first visit to Smile 312 in the Loop—spotless office, friendly staff, and they’ve got Netflix to keep you entertained. Went in for a cleaning and check-up; dropped about $150 after insurance, which felt fair. They broke down the costs and insurance stuff clearly. Scheduling was easy, and... read more
