Making Your Dream Smile More Affordable Ask Us about Financing

We've seen firsthand how life-changing veneers can be and don't want cost to get in the way of your ideal smile. Because veneers are considered a cosmetic dental procedure, they usually aren't covered by insurance. That's why our Joppa office offers financing options to help make treatment more affordable.

We work with CareCredit®, a third-party financing company that splits costs into monthly payment plans. This gives patients more freedom and flexibility to pay for their veneers on terms that work for them. Our team is happy to help walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

Tell Me More About Lumineers


Patients of our Joppa, MD, practice have the option of choosing Lumineers® to correct an array of cosmetic imperfections. Lumineers are an incredibly thin type of dental veneer measuring about 0.3mm in thickness. While traditional porcelain veneers are only about 1.5mm thick, our dentists will need to remove a small layer of tooth enamel to accommodate the shell. Lumineers, on the other hand, do not require any permanent alterations to your natural tooth, making the procedure reversible if, down the road, you decide you no longer want them.

Candidacy for Porcelain Veneers

Minor Cosmetic Issues

Veneers are best for minor dental issues such as cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth. If you have a broken tooth or significant misalignment, we may recommend an alternative solution such as a dental crown or orthodontic treatment.

Sufficient Enamel

Because veneers involve removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of the tooth, having sufficient enamel available is a must. Lumineers are an excellent option for patients wanting the same appearance as veneers without having to remove any enamel.

No Teeth Grinding

Patients who regularly grind or clench their teeth are not good candidates for veneers. The constant grinding motion can wear down the veneers and put them at risk of damage. We may recommend addressing teeth grinding or suggest an alternative procedure.

A New Smile in Two Appointments

​Unlike some cosmetic procedures, dental veneers are completed in a very short timeline, usually requiring two appointments at our Joppa practice. Here is what dentistry patients can expect:
We offer free consultations to help you determine if veneers are right for you.
We offer free consultations to help you determine if veneers are right for you.

Consultation

Our dentist will sit down with you for a free consultation to discuss the aspects of your teeth you wish to enhance, and make sure you are a good candidate for veneers. We will help you choose which teeth to treat, and which type of veneer will provide you with the best results. 

Preparation

Dr. Saccoh will then remove a fine layer of enamel so each veneer lays flush with your gums and adjacent teeth. If you decide on Lumineers, this step will not be necessary. Your dentist will then take precise digital scans of your smile, artfully design the restoration, and send the blueprints off to our dental lab. 

Creation

The skilled technicians at the lab will craft your custom veneers from porcelain ceramic and return the finished product to our office within about two to three weeks. If we have made alterations to your natural teeth, we will place temporaries to keep your smile looking great in the meantime.

Placement

When your porcelain veneers are ready, you will return to the office for placement. After checking to make sure the veneers look and fit flawlessly, we secure one shell to the surface of each treated tooth with special dental cement. This bond is incredibly strong and can last well over a decade with proper maintenance and dental care.
