Every spring, as wedding season picks up at the Gallo Center for the Arts, we talk to people who feel self-conscious about their smiles. Years of drinking coffee from local shops along McHenry Avenue can leave deep stains on your enamel. Sometimes, an old sports injury leaves a front tooth chipped and worn down. When you finally decide to upgrade your smile, you need to find a dentist you can trust to do the job right. Here at Gill Dental & Implants in Modesto, CA, we help patients transform their teeth using porcelain dental veneers. Dental veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells that cover the front of your teeth, hiding dark stains, wide gaps, and broken edges instantly.
Many patients visit our clinic near the College Area asking if they need a full smile makeover or just a quick fix. If you only have a very small chip on one tooth, we might suggest cosmetic dental bonding for a fast repair. But if you want a complete, permanent change to the shape, size, and color of your teeth, porcelain dental veneers are the better choice. The high-quality porcelain we use resists everyday stains much better than natural enamel or bonding resin.
Before we place your new dental veneers, we want to make sure your smile looks perfectly balanced. If you have what people call a "gummy smile," we often use laser gum recontouring to reveal more of your natural tooth shape first. We might also recommend professional teeth whitening for your bottom teeth so your entire mouth matches your bright new veneers perfectly.
They are very thin, strong shells made of dental ceramic. We bond them directly to the front of your natural teeth. This completely changes their appearance, giving you a bright, symmetrical smile.
Look for a local clinic that shows you real before-and-after photos of actual patients. At Gill Dental & Implants, we walk you through the entire design process. We create a digital model so you see your final results before we even start the treatment.
The total price depends on how many teeth we are treating. A full set of upper dental veneers costs more than fixing just two front teeth. During your first visit, we provide a clear, written estimate so you know the exact cost upfront.
No. We only remove a tiny fraction of a millimeter of your original enamel. This creates just enough room so the veneers sit flush with your gum line and look completely natural, rather than feeling bulky in your mouth.
With good daily brushing and regular checkups at our Modesto office, porcelain dental veneers usually last between 10 and 15 years. Just avoid chewing on hard things like ice or using your teeth to open plastic packages.
The process is very comfortable. We use strong local anesthetics to numb your mouth while we prepare your teeth. You might feel a little sensitivity to cold drinks for a few days after we place the final dental veneers, but that fades away very quickly.
There are several factors to consider when deciding on the type of veneers to choose for your teeth, including its appearance, longevity and cost. It is best to consult our modesto dentist for a treatment plan to identify the best fit for you. Talk to our office for more info.
If you have a PPO insurance for your dental treatments, you can be stress-free, as most insurance providers cover the treatment entirely, from the initial consultation to the final procedure. If you do not have a PPO insurance, we can still help you with attractive payment plans for your procedure.
Veneers are most commonly used to enhance the appearance of your smile. However, they can also be very effective in covering up chipped or broken tooth, and even discolored tooth.
Our staff will confirm your dentist appointment and work with your insurance to have everything prepared for your visit. Once the initial exam and x-ray are concluded, our dentist in Modesto will recommend a treatment plan tailored for you.
If you are looking for a dentist who accepts PPO insurance, coupled with quality dental care, then we are your answer. We accept all PPO insurances at our office. If you do not find your insurance listed below, give us a call and we would be happy to help you.

Looking for a Dentist? THIS IS THE PLACE!! They have been our dentist office for 8 years now. The office staff is helpful with scheduling and insurance. In the back they are so helpful answering questions, explaining treatments. Dr Gill is simply amazing and sets the bar very high for all of his staff. But hands down Dr Sharma is the most kind and caring Dentist I have had in my 52 years. Her chair-side manner is lovely, she truly cares and wants to make sure you are comfortable and in ZERO pain. I had a crown procedure on my lower right molar, the next day the text me to check to see how I was feeling!!!! It is just not, that I feel cared for.... I AM CARED FOR!!!
First let me state that I rarely give reviews. But when exceptional service is given, it’s so important to share. I had the best service at the Gill Family Dentistry. Ingrid, Jolene, and Lily were all very kind and shared their personal experiences to ease my anxiety of removing my wisdom tooth. I was still nervous when Dr.Gill introduced himself and explained the procedure. But as soon as he noticed how tense I was, he was able to calmly talk me through my fears and I truly felt like I was in the best capable hands. He was calm, quick and steady the entire time. His calmness and care has made me a patient for life. Thank you so much Gill Family Dentistry. I look forward to coming back soon.
I have lived in Modesto for 18 years. I was very in need of a good dentist for my mom when she moved here from back east. I found Dr. Gill online and went in for a consultation. The entire staff was friendly and genuine. We had a lot of decisions to make about the work my mom needed and I was in a panic over how I would pay for it. Dentures are very expensive. I had already been through the experience with my husband with another dentist. Jolene helped us get care credit and really explained everything and made it work for us. Dr Gill explained everything in a way that we understood and he really showed care and concern for my mom. I highly recommend Gill Family!
