The Benefits Of Veneers
Improved Aesthetics
Veneers can significantly enhance the aesthetics of your smile. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic dental issues, including chips, cracks, discoloration, and gaps between teeth. With their natural-looking appearance, veneers can give you a beautiful, radiant smile that you can be proud of.
Durability and Stain Resistance
Veneers are made from high-quality materials that are resistant to staining from coffee, tea, wine, and other common substances. This makes them a great choice for those who want a white, bright smile that lasts. Additionally, with proper care, veneers can last for many years, making them a durable and long-lasting solution.
Minimal Tooth Preparation
Unlike other cosmetic treatments such as crowns, veneers require minimal tooth preparation. This means that most of your natural tooth structure is preserved, making the procedure less invasive. This also reduces the risk of sensitivity and discomfort after the procedure, making the treatment process smoother and more comfortable.
The Veneers Treatment Process
Consultation and Treatment Planning
The first step towards getting veneers in Winter Haven is a consultation with Dr. DeSimone. During this appointment, she will examine your teeth, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if veneers are the right solution for you. She will also explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.
Tooth Preparation and Impression Taking
Once it's determined that veneers are the right choice for you, the next step is tooth preparation. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. After your teeth are prepared, an impression of your teeth will be taken. This impression will be used to create your custom veneers, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural-looking result.
Veneer Placement
The final step in the veneer process is the placement of the veneers. Once your custom veneers are ready, Dr. DeSimone will carefully bond them to your teeth, ensuring they are perfectly aligned and fit comfortably. She will then make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is correct and that you're happy with the result.

The cost of veneers in Winter Haven depends on how many teeth you're treating and the specifics of your case, so there isn't one flat rate to quote. We're a fee-for-service practice, but we're happy to submit claims on your behalf if you have a PPO plan, and we offer financing through CareCredit and Proceed to help spread out the cost. A consultation is the best way to get pricing based on your actual treatment plan.
How long do veneers last?
Veneers are designed to resist staining and hold up well over time, and with proper care, they're built to last for many years. That durability is a big part of what makes them a popular long-term choice for a smile makeover.
Do veneers damage tooth enamel, and are they reversible?
Getting veneers does involve removing a small amount of enamel from the front of each tooth so they bond and fit properly, though that preparation is kept as minimal and conservative as possible. Because enamel doesn't grow back once it's removed, veneers are generally considered a permanent, non-reversible treatment.
Is getting veneers painful?
Because veneers require only minimal tooth preparation, most patients find the process comfortable, with a lower chance of sensitivity or discomfort afterward. During your consultation, Dr. DeSimone will walk you through each step so you know exactly what to expect.
