Dental Veneers in Oelwein and West Union

Veneers are permanent, tooth-colored shells made of durable porcelain that are placed over the surface of your teeth. They’re designed to uplift concerns regarding the shape, size, color, condition or length of your teeth.

Our customized veneers can give you a stunning, picture-perfect smile that will last for many years to come.

How Do Veneers Work?

After your consultation appointment, during which our team will examine your smile and learn about your goals, you’ll make your second and final appointment to get your veneers applied.

Dental veneers are perfect for people who have:

• cracked or chipped teeth
• small gaps between their teeth
• slightly crooked or misaligned teeth
• teeth that are resistant to whitening agents
• uneven teeth
• small or poorly shaped teeth

After your consultation appointment, during which our team will examine your smile and learn about your goals, you’ll make your second and final appointment to get your veneers applied.

At your final appointment, you’ll be fitted with your custom restoration, and you can  leave the office with a beautiful perfected smile. 

Is the veneers procedure painful?

• Our process of getting veneers is designed to be as comfortable and non-invasive as possible. Although they are permanent — removing enamel and filing is necessary to ensure a perfect, natural looking fit — we’re certain our expertise and attention to detail will leave you with a smile that you are proud to show.
• If you have concerns about discomfort involved in the process, we’re happy to administer sedation to ease nerves, expertly numb pain and leave you relaxed for the procedure.

How long do veneers last?

• Taking care of your veneers as if they were your natural teeth is essential to their longevity. Well-cared-for porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, or even longer. Make sure to come and see us for your regular checkups so we can help make your perfect smile last.

Does dental insurance cover veneers?

• Usually, insurance will not cover veneers because it’s considered a cosmetic procedure. But we feature a number of options, such as CareCredit, to make your care as affordable as possible.
• We also encourage you to take advantage of our Smile Advantage Dental Savings Plan. Members save 10% on their dental treatments, along with discounts on teeth whitening and regular routine cleanings.

What if my veneer falls off or is damaged?

• Call our office if you experience any issues with your veneers. Our dentist can fix or replace your veneer even if we didn’t originally provide it.

Do veneers work for crooked teeth?

• Dental veneers are perfect for people who have teeth that are slightly crooked or misaligned. If your teeth are too crooked for veneers, we may recommend orthodontic treatment or Invisalign.
