Dental veneers instantly brighten and restore compromised teeth that may make you hesitant to smile during life’s joyful moments.
The dental veneer process can usually be completed over the course of two appointments of about an hour each. And since this is a non-surgical procedure, only a mild numbing anesthetic is used to keep you comfortable during the process. Some cosmetic patients don’t even need it.
A healthy, attractive smile makes an important first impression when you meet new people, adding a youthful, confident glow to your appearance. So if you’re unhappy with the current condition of your smile, long-lasting porcelain veneers placed by the esteemed dentists of Boston Prosthodontics can give you a fast “smile reboot.”
Dental veneers are a thin shell of high-quality ceramic material that overlays the front surface of your teeth. They will look, feel, and function like your natural tooth. They can aesthetically improve the appearance of crooked, misshapen, misaligned, chipped, or discolored teeth allowing us to achieve dramatic results with conservative dentistry.
You and your doctor will discuss your aesthetic goals together and your customized smile can be previewed with your doctor through various consultations, including physical mock-ups and digital smile design. Once a smile design is agreed upon, the entire process can be completed in as little as two visits, giving you outstanding results, fast.
“Ken Malament is to prosthodontics as Picasso is to modern art. Ken and the entire office demonstrate good judgment, patient respect, and practice excellence. Their standards should set the bar for all medical service offices.”
These are excellent questions. Basically, veneers are thin but strong shell-shaped covers that are bonded directly onto the front surfaces of your natural teeth.
The high-quality veneers, fabricated out of medical-grade porcelain on-site at our Boston, MA, practice, can improve and refresh your smile in many ways…

The cost of your dental veneers can be affected by many different factors:
Are Dental Veneers covered by my insurance? Unfortunately, most insurance plans consider veneers to be cosmetic and not a medical procedure, meaning they are typically not covered.
