What Are Dental Veneers?
A dental veneer is a thin shell we attach to the front of your tooth to conceal various cosmetic imperfections. Our Aurora practice crafts veneers out of high-quality materials like porcelain and IPS e.max® that are virtually indistinguishable from tooth enamel. Once they are secured they will blend in seamlessly with surrounding teeth, giving you a smile that is both stunning and natural-looking.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Covering a tooth with a porcelain veneer can dramatically improve the look of the tooth by hiding imperfections like:

I have been going to Pioneer Hills for years and have never had a negative experience. Dr. Wolbaum is always very courteous, thorough, and timely. He seems happy to answer any questions that arise and takes the time to explain procedures and findings in a clear and detailed manner. His team operates in much the same way... I appreciate their honest practices, genuine care, and commitment to each person.

The staff is friendly and helpful. Welcoming. Dr Wolbaum takes the time to listen to you and he always asks how you are doing. He doesn’t tell you something is wrong when there’s not, cavities for example. Honest. It is clean and well maintained. I have sent family and friends here.

Designing Your Dream Smile
A "perfect smile" looks different to everyone. While some patients wish to improve a single distracting tooth, others desire extensive modifications to several highly visible front teeth. Dental veneers are a great option because they can be customized for your needs. Depending on your goals, they can be used for subtle corrections or dramatic cosmetic enhancement. During your consultation we can discuss the different possibilities and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Veneers?
While veneers work well for most of our Aurora patients, there are some factors that can affect your candidacy:
Oral Health
Cosmetic dentistry is intended for patients with healthy teeth and gums. If you have tooth decay, periodontal disease, or other dental conditions, you will first need restorative treatment to improve the foundation of your smile.
Bruxism
Bruxism, a condition characterized by the grinding and clenching of the teeth, can lead to excessive wear on veneer shells. If you suffer from bruxism, we might recommend dental crowns instead of veneers to better protect your tooth structure.
Commitment
It is important to understand that veneers will permanently alter your teeth. While they can often last for a decade or more, they will eventually need replacement. If you are not ready to make a long-term commitment, consider a more temporary treatment alternative like bonding or teeth whitening.

Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers
If you take proper care of your dental veneers, they could potentially last for up to 20 years. However, veneers can occasionally fail, usually as a result of trauma to the porcelain from a fall, grinding teeth, or improper use of teeth. To ensure your veneers last as long as possible, make sure to:
A great advantage of porcelain veneers is that you can brush and floss them just like natural teeth. We recommend patients with veneers avoid abrasive toothpastes and use soft-bristled toothbrushes.
Visiting the dentist twice a year is essential to maintaining good oral health. It's especially important to keep your regular appointments when you have dental veneers so we can make sure they are in good shape.
Bad habits like biting your nails, chewing on pens, or opening packages with your teeth are bad for your smile and especially bad for porcelain veneers. Protect your investment by treating your teeth properly.
Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers
If veneers aren't right for you, there are other ways you can improve your smile through cosmetic dentistry:
Dental bonding is considered a less expensive and less permanent alternative to veneers. This dental treatment uses tooth-colored resin to correct chipped teeth, gaps, and many other concerns. Applying resin requires no significant alterations to your enamel, so dental bonding is completely reversible. Because it helps patients achieve results similar to veneers, bonding is a great way to help you decide if you want to eventually commit to veneers.
If you have multiple cosmetic concerns that veneers alone can't correct, our dentist can combine several solutions into a smile makeover plan that addresses all of them at once. Dr. Wolbaum can use a combination of veneers, teeth whitening treatments, gum contouring, Invisalign®, and more to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Paying for Cosmetic Dentistry
While other forms of dentistry are covered by insurance, cosmetic dentistry is not. This is because cosmetic dentistry simply improves the appearance of your smile, not its health or structural integrity. Our Aurora office wants everyone to experience the benefits of a beautiful smile, so we do everything we can to make cosmetic dentistry solutions like veneers accessible and affordable.
Our office is proud to work with CareCredit®, a third-party lender that allows patients who qualify to split the cost of their dental treatment into affordable monthly installments.
