Porcelain Veneers in Rome, NY | Rome Dental

Custom-crafted veneers that transform your smile — preview your results first.

Getting veneers is a big decision — they're permanent. Once your teeth are prepared for veneers, there's no going back.


That's why Dr. Candido refuses to rush this process. Before any irreversible work, you'll see a preview of your results. Then you'll wear temporary veneers for a while — living with your new look. If something isn't right, we adjust it. You give final approval before we make anything permanent.


What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. Made from high-quality dental porcelain that mimics natural tooth enamel.


How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?

$1,000-$2,500 per tooth. Most patients get veneers on their front 4-8 teeth. Insurance usually doesn't cover veneers. Our membership plan provides 15% off.


How Long Do Veneers Last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years. Some last longer. Avoid using your teeth as tools, don't bite your nails, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.


Do Veneers Look Fake?

Not when they're done right. Dr. Candido designs veneers to match your face, your skin tone, and what looks natural for you — not a one-size-fits-all Hollywood white. The goal is for people to notice your smile looks great, not that you "got veneers."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are porcelain veneers?

    Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can fix stained, chipped, cracked, worn, or slightly misaligned teeth. Veneers are made from high-quality dental porcelain that mimics natural tooth enamel, and they typically last 10-15 years with proper care.

  • How much do veneers cost?

    Porcelain veneers typically cost $1,000 to $2,500 per tooth. The total cost depends on how many teeth you're treating and the complexity of your case. Most patients get veneers on their front 4-8 teeth. Dental insurance usually doesn't cover veneers since they're considered cosmetic, but financing options like CareCredit, Cherry, and Lending Club can make them more affordable.

  • How long do veneers last?

    Porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years with proper care, and some last even longer. To maximize their lifespan, avoid using your teeth as tools, don't bite your nails, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups also help veneers last longer.

  • Do veneers look fake?

    Not when they're done right. Quality veneers are custom-designed to match your face shape, skin tone, and natural tooth characteristics. The goal is for people to notice your smile looks great — not that you "got veneers." Dr. Candido designs veneers for natural-looking results, not a one-size-fits-all Hollywood white.

  • Are veneers permanent?

    Veneers are considered irreversible because a thin layer of enamel must be removed to place them. Once your teeth are prepared for veneers, they will always need some type of restoration. This is why it's important to see your results and approve them before the final veneers are bonded — which is exactly how Dr. Candido approaches every case.

  • Can I see what my veneers will look like before getting them?

    Yes. At Rome Dental, Dr. Candido creates a preview — using digital imaging or a wax-up model — so you can see exactly what your results will look like before any permanent work begins. You can request changes, and you'll wear temporary veneers to "test drive" your new smile before the final veneers are placed.

  • What is the difference between veneers and crowns?

    Veneers cover only the front surface of your tooth and are primarily cosmetic. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used when a tooth is damaged, weakened, or has had a root canal. If your tooth is healthy but you want to change its appearance, veneers are usually the better choice. If your tooth needs structural repair, a crown may be recommended instead.
