We get lots of questions about veneers and this is to help explain them a little more!
The best veneers are made of super-thin porcelain, which are fixed to your teeth with a special bonding agent to hold them securely in place. We always say that they are similar to a stick on nail.Â
Veneers are placed on the front of your teeth, and they can camouflage many different dental issues, including all of these:
Millions of people worldwide have been successfully improving their smiles using porcelain veneers for many years. When the veneers are placed on your teeth, you’ll enjoy years of brilliant smiles. Equally important, veneers hold up well under everyday wear and tear. Dr. Kristina Dawson will discuss if veneers are the best option for your situation during your next exam!Â
To apply porcelain veneers to your teeth, Dr. Dawson will need to remove a small amount of your front teeth’ natural enamel. This is an irreversible change and so we need to analyze the risks and benefits on a case by case basis!
Most people can enjoy the benefits of veneers, but your teeth and gums must be in reasonably good condition to qualify. Dr. Dawson will also analyze your bite to ensure that the forces would not be too great on the veneers.Â
Porcelain is a very strong material, so these veneers are extremely durable. However, porcelain can crack under very strong force. Likely following your treatment we will make a custom night guard for you to wear for protection. Therefore, avoid eating things like candy apples, chewing on ice, or hard nuts to ensure your veneers stay perfect.Â
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last up to 10 years, and some patients enjoy their veneers much longer. To optimize the time your porcelain veneers will last, practice good oral care, including brushing, flossing, and regular visits to the dentist.Â
Your natural teeth aren’t pure white. Instead, natural teeth are varying shades of off-white. When Dr. Dawson designs your veneers, they will be colored the shade of your natural teeth so they fit in.Â
