Our team provides custom dental veneers to comfortably align crooked teeth and close unwanted gaps. These highly stain-resistant veneers also whiten discolored enamel and repair chipped surfaces without invasive procedures.

Types of dental veneers:

  • Lithium disilicate
  • Pressed ceramic
  • Stacked ceramic

Our team uses custom dental veneers to restore and enhance your beautiful smile. Our cosmetic dentists can help you carefully correct common visual issues, such as:

  • Severely stained or yellow enamel
  • Cracks, chips, and worn edges
  • Wide gaps between teeth

The cost of dental veneers can vary widely depending on your insurance coverage, the material used, and the number of teeth treated. On average, you can expect:

  • Porcelain veneers: $900–$2,500+ per tooth
  • Composite veneers: $400–$1,500+ per tooth

Please call our office, and our team would be happy to answer your questions about costs and insurance options.

Hear From Our Patients

Robert

Gentle Dental Brighton

I can't say enough good things about how I was treated at Gentle Dental Brighton over the last few years but more specifically recently when I had an infected root. Dr. Meyer was exceptional not just in her skills as a dentist, but how compassionate she was to the amount of pain I was in. She helped me from start to finish and even checked on me after the root canal. Not just a great dentist but a great person.

Michel

Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain

Dr. Mancini and his staff got me in for an appointment within an hour of my call and took care of a loose, temporary cap. To my surprise they were able to “install” my permanent crown even though the appointment for that procedure was scheduled a week later. Perfect fit! Made my day. Thank you Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain!

Denise

Gentle Dental Nashua

Best dental care around! Immaculate office. Staff is exceptional and truly caring. Dr. Anthony is the Best! He understands my anxiety. I am telling everyone to request an appointment at Gentle Dental Nashua!

Tom

Gentle Dental Wakefield

Just had my last implant visit and can now smile again! The whole process went smoothly. Hats off to Dr. Amin, Dr. Colon and Sheela. All three, along with the rest of the staff, were very professional and pleasant to work with. I have been a patient at this office for 10+ years and would recommend Gentle Dental Wakefield to anyone for their next dentist appointment!

Carolyn

Gentle Dental Belmont

This is an excellent dental practice with flexible scheduling and friendly staff. Hygienists and dentists are very knowledgeable and skilled. Would also recommend their periodontist. Prices are quite reasonable as well. The Saturday hours are a huge plus at this dentist in Belmont.

Laura

Gentle Dental Cambridge

I would definitely recommend my experience at Gentle Dental Cambridge in Porter Square. A truly wonderful team of talented people! And they are paired with the most up-to-date technology. My experience was terrific! I needed a root canal and crowns in addition to a cavity filling. I was in safe hands! From start to finish, I was treated well and the procedures were completed in a timely manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dental veneers does Gentle Dental offer?

We have several types of veneer to fit your needs. You can choose from porcelain or composite materials. The most common types of dental veneers we use are lithium disilicate, pressed ceramic, and stacked ceramic. Our team will help you pick the right material during your visit.

What is the process for getting dental veneers at Gentle Dental?

The process takes two visits. First, we lightly buff your enamel, take a precise mold, and pick a natural shade. On your second visit, our team cleans the surface and securely attaches your custom dental veneers with a special light. We recommend regular brushing to help protect your smile.

What are the differences between porcelain and composite resin veneers?

Porcelain options resist stains the most and reflect light just like your natural teeth. Composite resin materials are typically more affordable and require less enamel removal. Our team will carefully explain both veneers so you can make an informed decision based on your specific goals.

How much do dental veneers cost at Gentle Dental?

The total cost depends on the chosen material and the number of teeth being treated. Before beginning any procedure, our team will walk you through the full cost of your dental veneers so you know exactly what to expect. We'll also review your personalized treatment plan and discuss flexible payment options to help make your care more affordable.

Does Gentle Dental accept insurance for dental veneers?

Most insurance plans consider cosmetic procedures elective and may not cover the full cost. Our staff will check your specific policy to see what is included. We clearly explain the prices for dental veneers and provide flexible financing plans to help you manage your oral health budget.

What maintenance is required for Gentle Dental veneers?

You should care for them just as you would your natural teeth. Avoiding hard foods, along with daily brushing, flossing, and routine checkups, keeps your smile healthy

What are dental veneers, and how do they improve the appearance?

They are very thin shells made of porcelain or resin that naturally cover the front surface of your teeth. Custom dental veneers instantly hide dark stains, chips, and uneven gaps. This simple cosmetic option creates a natural, bright smile.

Will dental veneers affect my eating habits?

You can eat most foods normally once your treatment is complete. However, we strongly recommend avoiding very hard or sticky items, such as ice and hard candies, to prevent chipping. Protecting your dental veneers ensures they stay securely attached and look great for years to come.

What are the common reasons people get dental veneers?

Patients choose this treatment to fix stubborn discoloration, chipped edges, uneven sizing, and noticeable gaps. You can view our dental veneers before-and-after gallery during your visit. Seeing these results helps you understand how we can improve the shape and color of your smile.

How long do dental veneers typically last?

With proper daily care, porcelain options can last 10-15 years or more. Composite resin options generally last 5-7 years. You can extend the life of your veneers by brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and scheduling routine dental checkups with our team.

Are dental veneers a reversible procedure?

Placing porcelain covers is generally considered a permanent cosmetic change. Because we must remove a thin layer of outer enamel to ensure a proper fit, this type of dental veneer cannot be reversed. You will always need some form of coverage on those specific teeth moving forward.

Is there any drilling involved in the veneer procedure?

There is no heavy drilling involved in the veneer procedure. We lightly buff a very thin layer from the front of your tooth to make room for the porcelain shell. Our team is here to ensure you feel completely comfortable throughout this cosmetic process

Can dental veneers stain over time?

Porcelain materials are highly resistant to dark stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco. Composite resin materials might discolor slightly over many years of wear. Our dentists polish them during your routine checkups to maintain their bright color and fully protect your smile

Who is a good candidate for dental veneers?

Good candidates for dental veneers generally have healthy gums and want to correct cosmetic flaws such as severe stains, chips, or wide gaps. Keep in mind, we do not use dental veneers for missing teeth. If you have lost a tooth, our team will discuss other options, such as dental implants or custom bridges

Can dental veneers fix chipped, stained, or uneven teeth?

Yes, they are specifically designed to cover and correct common surface flaws. Custom dental veneers smoothly hide deep discoloration while fixing the exact shape of chipped or uneven edges. This leaves you with a natural, bright smile.
