Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are high-quality, tooth-colored restorations that are designed to be extremely thin. This is so our team can fit them over the front surfaces of certain teeth and cement them in place, hiding years of dental flaws all at once behind a flaw-free exterior that shines bright! Veneers can be designed to cover stains, chips, cracks, gaps, and even misshapen dental structure. Their structure is so tough that they actually resist staining better than your original teeth do, which means their attractive glow will last longer.
Dr. Eck and the rest of our team often recommend veneers to patients who are hoping to correct an array of cosmetic issues all at once or those who would like to improve alignments of certain teeth without undergoing time-consuming orthodontic treatment. We look forward to helping you find the right treatment option for your unique needs here in San Antonio.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening is one of the easiest, fastest, and most affordable ways to make a dramatic difference in your smile. Our in-office and take-home kits are far more effective than any store-bought whitener, and can take years of stains off your smile in no time.
- Direct Bonding – Direct bonding is a versatile treatment that can help erase numerous types of dental flaws, including chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and more! It is quite cost-effective, and can typically be completed in a single easy appointment.
- Veneers – For premiere aesthetics and a truly comprehensive treatment, we offer veneers. While this service is certainly not the cheapest cosmetic option available, these shells of dental porcelain can completely redesign the color, size, and shape of one or more teeth with truly dazzling results. Plus, they resist stains and can last 15 years or longer with the right care.
- Metal-Free Restorations – We want your smile to feel just as good as it looks, which is why we offer metal-free restorations. These tooth-colored crowns, fillings, onlays, and inlays will keep your teeth strong and healthy without noticeable silver or gold. If you have amalgam fillings or restorations, we can remove them and replace them with our safer, biocompatible, and lifelike metal-free ones.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be An Investment Worth Making
Cosmetic dentistry is about much more than simply improving the looks of your teeth. When you invest in a smile that you’re proud to show off, you’re also investing in nearly every aspect of your life. Numerous studies indicate that a beautiful smile is the key to a good first impression, and that it can make a person look confident, successful, trustworthy, and attractive. This can help improve everything from your personal relationships to your career! Plus, smiling triggers a chemical reaction in your brain that makes you feel more relaxed, at-ease, and happy.

- Flexible financing –. We work with Care Credit, a third-party financing company, to help patients afford many different types of dental treatments. CareCredit offers several low- to no-interest payment plans that can break up the cost of achieving your new smile into smaller chunks that fit into your monthly budget.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Are you ready to get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, but aren’t sure where to begin? Many of our services are quite versatile and can correct several types of issues. For example, you can correct noticeable stains with teeth whitening or direct bonding. Similarly, both porcelain veneers and dental crowns are great choices for improving cracked or misshapen teeth.
During your consultation, your North Central San Antonio cosmetic dentist will have a conversation with you about your smile goals and carefully inspect your teeth. Afterwards, they’ll thoroughly explain all your options as well as their recommendations for how to most effectively achieve your desired results.
Try as you might to protect your son’s or daughter’s smile, life happens. Maybe they chipped a tooth while playing sports or stained their enamel by drinking too many energy drinks. Whatever the case, imperfections in their pearly whites can take a toll on their confidence and self-esteem.
Thankfully, there are some cosmetic treatments that are suitable for children and teenagers. Of course, they’ll need to schedule a consultation to ensure they’re a good candidate for options like direct bonding or teeth whitening. Typically, they’ll need to be cavity-free with healthy gums and all their permanent teeth.
Almost anyone who wants to improve their smile can benefit from cosmetic dentistry. However, we care just as much about the health of your smile as its looks. Issues like extensive tooth decay, dental infections, and gum disease can make some cosmetic treatments uncomfortable and even negatively influence their success.
If any warning signs of these issues are detected, we’ll address them first. Then once your oral health is back on track, we’ll be able to help you choose the best service for your smile.
Just as no two smiles are the same, the cost of treatment will vary from patient to patient depending on their unique needs. Several factors will determine your final price, including how much your smile is being improved and what type of service you need. For example, quick and easy options like teeth whitening and direct bonding are typically less expensive than custom-made solutions like dental crowns or porcelain veneers.
Most dental insurances won’t cover the cost of cosmetic treatments, but we’ll be happy to review your specific policy to maximize your benefits. We also offer third-party financing options through CareCredit. These low and no interest plans can help break up the cost of your treatment into manageable payments that fit into your budget.
