Enhance Your Smile With Dental Veneers
At Parkway Dental, we can upgrade your smile with dental veneers. Veneers conceal cosmetic imperfections like stains, chips, or minor misalignment. We can use our advanced technology to preview your results on the computer and fabricate your custom-made veneers in our own office. The process can take as few as two appointments.
Why Choose Veneers?
A Versatile Treatment Option
Veneers are extremely thin shells that our dentist, Michael D. Haight, can attach to the surface of teeth in order to mask a wide range of cosmetic imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment, and stains.
Crafted From Advanced Materials
At Parkway Dental, we use medical-grade, porcelain-like ceramic to craft each set of custom veneers. This material mimics the qualities of tooth enamel for natural-looking results.
Quality and Strength You Can Feel
Despite being incredibly thin, dental veneers are very strong. With proper care and regular check-ups at our Albuquerque dental office, your veneers can last for 10 years or more.

Veneers vs. Bonding Which Is Right for Me?
We are often asked about the differences between dental veneers and dental bonding, which is a means of covering imperfections with a tooth-colored composite resin. Here is a comparison to consider:
- Appearance: Veneers are stain-resistant, unlike bonding resin, which may darken over time. However, veneers can eventually become discolored without proper care.
- Durability: Dental veneers are designed to last a decade or longer with proper care. Bonding tends to last about five years.
- Cost: Bonding costs significantly less than veneers. Many patients choose to first undergo bonding as a way to decide if they would eventually like to receive veneers.

The Veneers Process A Treatment Timeline
A great advantage of dental veneers is that the treatment process is relatively quick. If you call today, you could achieve your attractive new smile within the month. Most patients can expect a treatment timeline similar to this:
If you call today, you could achieve your attractive new smile within the month.
Does Veneer Placement Hurt?
No, veneer placement does not hurt. The treatment area is numbed before your tooth is altered. As a practice that prioritizes the patient experience, we take the necessary measures to ensure your comfort every step of the way. You may experience some dental sensitivity in the days following placement, but this will subside eventually.
Nervous About Treatment? We Offer Sedation
Getting veneers isn't uncomfortable. The procedure can typically be completed with just local anesthetic. However, if you have dental anxiety or trouble sitting still for the duration of a dental treatment, we have sedation available for your comfort. You can choose between three different types of sedation at our Albuquerque practice.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is the lightest form of sedation we offer. During treatment, a mask will be placed over your nose so you can breathe in the odorless "laughing gas." The sedative effects will wear off quickly, which means you can drive yourself home from our office.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Dr. Haight can prescribe a pill for you to take about an hour before your appointment. You'll experience a deeply calming effect that won't wear off immediately after the procedure, so you'll need a ride to and from our office.
IV Sedation
The strongest form of sedation we offer is intravenous (IV) sedation. IV sedation delivers medicine directly into your bloodstream for strong, fast-acting relaxation. You will need a ride home after your appointment if you receive this form of sedation.

View On GoogleHow to Care for Your Veneers
Dr. Haight will supply you with all necessary aftercare information before you leave our Albuquerque office. Here are a few general aftercare tips you can follow to help maintain your results.
Avoid Chewing on Hard Objects
Porcelain veneers are very strong, but they can still chip or crack under heavy pressure. If you chip a veneer, the entire veneer will need to be replaced. Avoid habitually chewing on hard objects like fingernails and pen caps.
Take Care When Eating and Drinking
Be cautious when eating especially hard foods, like chips and nuts. Use a straw when drinking dark liquids like wine, coffee, or soda, as stains on veneers cannot be bleached out.
Consider a Nightguard
If you grind your teeth at night, you can avoid cracking or wearing down your veneers by wearing a nightguard. Dr. Haight can discuss comfortable nightguard options with you at your veneers consultation.
Maintain Your Oral Hygiene
A veneer covers the entire front surface of a tooth, but you can still get cavities while wearing them without proper brushing and flossing. To avoid plaque buildup, gum disease, and other oral health concerns, continue to thoroughly brush twice a day and floss daily.
Attend Regular Checkups
Visit our Albuquerque practice for regular dental cleanings and exams. If we see you frequently, we can identify any potential issue early on and treat it before it affects your health and the look of your veneers.
Not Sure if Veneers Are Right for you? We Offer Alternative Cosmetic Procedures
Even if you aren't the best candidate for porcelain veneers, you may still benefit from an alternative cosmetic procedure. Dr. Haight offers several other solutions at his Albuquerque practice that might be better suited for your needs.

Do porcelain veneers really look natural?
Incredibly Realistic Results Thanks to Modern Materials and Techniques
We understand you might be concerned about your appearance after treatment. If veneers are not applied properly, they can appear bulky or unnatural. However, Dr. Haight uses refined techniques to achieve the most natural-looking results.
Also, modern dental materials like high-quality dental porcelain enable technicians to craft much more realistic veneers than the prosthetics of the past. Each of our porcelain veneers presents the qualities of a natural tooth to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
When you have dental veneers applied by an experienced cosmetic dentist like Dr. Haight, no one will ever be able to tell that your smile is not completely natural.

View On GoogleSigns It May Be Time to Replace Your Veneers
While veneers are designed to last decades, you will eventually need them replaced. If you notice any of the following signs, get in touch with our practice to determine if it’s time to get new custom porcelain veneers:
While veneers are durable, they aren't indestructible. If your veneers are chipped, cracked, or appear rough around the edges, it’s time to have new ones created.
If another dentist provided you with veneers that weren’t a precise fit, they may overhang, affect your bite, or cause discomfort.
The cement used when the restoration is placed can darken over time and eventually show through the veneer.
Whether your veneer feels loose, is improperly sized, or has lost the brilliance and uniformity it gave your smile the day you got it, Dr. Haight can take a closer look and recommend the best course of action.
How Much Do Veneers Cost?
At Parkway Dental, we offer custom-made, high-quality porcelain veneers starting at $1,491 per tooth. The price of cosmetic dentistry differs from patient to patient based on a number of factors, including your oral health and your preference for sedation dentistry.
To help our patients afford elective dental procedures, we work with Compassionate™ Finance, a reputable third-party lender that allows you to set up manageable monthly payment plans.
The only way to know for sure what porcelain veneers will cost you is to meet with our dentist for a consultation at our Albuquerque office.
