Dental Veneers FAQ

Considering dental veneers? These are the top questions we hear in our New Braunfels office:

How much do dental veneers cost?
Prices for dental veneers vary depending on the material used (porcelain or composite, etc.) and how many you need. Our New Braunfels dentists will provide you with a specific quote during your consultation.

How many veneers will I need for my teeth?
Most people need 6-8 dental veneers to cover the top front teeth that are visible when they smile.

Can I floss around dental veneers?
You can and should floss around veneers every day. Flossing won’t pull veneers, crowns or any other type of dental work. But if you don’t floss, your dental work is at a higher risk of failing.

What is the difference between dental veneers and crowns?
Crowns cover your entire tooth surface. Dental veneers cover only the front and edges of your teeth.

Can veneers be used to fix cracked or broken teeth?
A dental veneer might work if the chips are small and your tooth is still intact. Otherwise you will probably need a crown.

Can dental veneers straighten crooked smiles?
Dental veneers can be used to cover the front of your smile and make crooked or gapped teeth appear straighter.

Will dental insurance cover cosmetic veneers?
No. Dental veneers are an elective procedure and not covered by insurance. However, you may be able to use HSA or FSA funds to pay for them.

Can I choose how my dental veneers look?
Yes. You can choose the size, shape, and color of each tooth. We will adjust them to look natural and complement your facial features.
