Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments today, but patients often have questions before starting their smile makeover. At Gordon Dental Implants and Cosmetics in Leawood, KS, Dr. Philip Gordon has delivered over 1,000 veneers and has helped patients across Kansas City, Overland Park, Leawood, and Olathe transform their smiles with confidence.
Here are the top 10 questions Kansas City patients ask about veneers — and the answers you need to know.
1. How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years, and with excellent care, many last 20+ years.
2. Do veneers look natural?
Yes. High-quality porcelain mimics the translucency of enamel. At Gordon Dental, each veneer is custom-designed to match your smile for a natural, seamless result.
3. Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Yes. Veneers can correct mild misalignment, gaps, and uneven spacing without braces. For severe cases, orthodontics may be recommended first.
4. Do veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, unlike natural enamel. However, edges may darken over time with smoking or heavy coffee/tea consumption.
5. How much do veneers cost in Kansas City?
Veneers typically range from $1,200–$2,500 per tooth. Total cost depends on how many teeth are treated and your smile goals. Financing options are available.
6. Are veneers permanent?
Yes — veneers require a thin layer of enamel removal, which makes the treatment permanent. Once placed, they provide long-term strength and beauty.
7. Do veneers hurt?
No. Veneer placement is minimally invasive and usually requires little or no anesthesia. Temporary veneers protect your teeth until the final ones are placed.
8. Can veneers fall off?
Rarely. With proper bonding and care, veneers stay securely attached. If one ever chips or loosens, it can usually be repaired or replaced quickly.
9. Am I a candidate for veneers?
Most patients with healthy teeth and gums are excellent candidates. A consultation will confirm if veneers are the right choice for you.
10. Why choose Dr. Philip Gordon for veneers in Kansas City?
With 15+ years of cosmetic experience and 1,000+ veneers delivered, Dr. Gordon is trusted by patients across Kansas City for natural, beautiful results. His advanced training and technology ensure precise design and long-lasting esthetics.
