Have you ever covered up your smile because of crooked or flawed teeth? You're not alone. Having the perfect smile is something we all desire, but for many, the concept of wearing braces for an extended period can be a pretty scary prospect. Luckily, there’s a better, quicker solution: dental veneers in Encino. At Clove Dental, we know how much you desire a beautiful smile, and we also know that cost matters. That’s why we help you understand what your insurance does (and doesn’t) cover and how to make veneers affordable through flexible options.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, shell-like pieces made from porcelain or resin that cover the front of your teeth. They’re used to hide things like chips, stains, gaps, or slight crookedness. Once they’re in place, they stay put, and most people hardly notice them. Veneers don’t just make your teeth look better, they help your whole smile feel more like your own.

Why Choose Dental Veneers?

At Clove Dental, we know how much a great smile can boost your confidence. Dental veneers could be the right option if you want to make a noticeable change without waiting months or years for results.

  1. Instant Gratification: While regular braces can take up to 12 months and, in some cases, longer to straighten teeth, veneers can provide the effect almost immediately. Instead, after just a few visits, you can walk out of our office sporting a bright, new smile, which is great for those looking for optimal results as fast as possible.

  2. Versatility: If you have crooked teeth, gaps, or discoloration, treating each issue separately can be difficult. This flexibility allows you to avoid multiple procedures; a single set of veneers can resolve several issues.

  3. Durability and Longevity: With proper care, veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. At Clove Dental, we employ high-quality, resilient materials that are made to withstand everyday use, ensuring that your new smile lasts over time.

  4. Less Tooth Removal: Veneers require only a slight modification of the natural teeth compared to crowns, allowing individuals to attain a more attractive appearance while retaining most of their natural tooth structure.

The Stages of Dental Veneer Procedure by Clove Dental

We are pleased to offer a comfortable, effortless experience for our patients. For our Encino patients, here’s what you can look forward to, should you decide you want dental veneers:

  • Initial Consultation: We review your smile goals, take a full look at your teeth, and discuss cosmetic vs. health needs. This is where we also run your insurance benefits to identify whether any diagnostic exams, cleanings, or prerequisite treatments are covered before veneers.

  • Custom Fabrication: When your veneers' perfect shape, color, and size have been decided upon, we’ll take impressions of your teeth. Our talented dental technicians will craft your custom veneers in a laboratory for the best fit.

  • Application: So when your veneers are finally ready, you’ll just pop back into the office. We’ll gently roughen the front of your teeth a bit, not much, just enough so the veneers can bond properly. Then we’ll put each one on, checking and adjusting as we go so they feel right and look natural.

  • Follow-Up Care: Before you leave, we’ll go over how to keep them clean and what not to do. You’ll still need to come in for your regular checkups, and yes, those are usually covered by insurance. It’s the easiest way to make sure your veneers last as long as possible.

How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost in Encino?

Curious about pricing? Veneer costs vary based on materials, number of teeth, and any prep required. Because veneers are considered cosmetic, insurance typically does not cover the veneers themselves, but it may assist with exams, X-rays, or treating underlying dental problems beforehand.

At Clove Dental, we focus on value and clarity: we work with most major insurance plans, itemize what’s covered, and show you your out-of-pocket before we start. Our dental membership plan starts from just $47 per month* and includes preventive care savings plus member discounts on elective cosmetic services like veneers. Ask us for current details.

Looking After Your Dental Veneers 

You’ve got your new veneers, and now you’ll want to keep them looking good for as long as possible. 

  • Stay away from really hard foods: Veneers are durable, but biting down on ice or using your teeth to open things can damage them. It's best to avoid these actions.

  • Keep up with dental visits: Don’t skip your regular checkups at Clove Dental. These visits help us make sure your veneers and your natural teeth stay in good shape.
