What Are Veneers Used For?

A veneer is constructed from a small, thin shell of either porcelain, ceramic, or resin-based composite, and it is designed to fit perfectly over the front of your teeth. It can be used to address a number of oral concerns including:

• Gaps between teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Minor misalignments
• Discoloration
• Crooked or poorly shaped teeth

 

Are Veneers the Right Treatment For Me?

Veneers are a very effective cosmetic dental treatment, but they are not appropriate for every patient, or every tooth. It’s important to book a consultation with your dentist as he/she is in the best position to determine whether veneers are suitable for making the changes you need.

Some of the cases in which veneers may not be a good option include:

• Patient has gum disease or decay. These oral conditions must treated first before fabricating and bonding with veneers.

• Teeth are weak. If you have a significant amount of tooth structure missing, or your tooth has been replaced by a filling, then that tooth will not be strong enough to function with a veneer.

• Patient grinds his/her teeth. If a patient suffers from bruxism and habitually grinds his/her teeth, then this can easily break or chip the veneers. This condition must be treated first before veneers can be placed.

• There isn’t enough healthy enamel. Before placing the veneers, the dentist will have to remove a thin layer of enamel first, which means a patient should have enough healthy enamel.

Looking After Your Dental Veneers

In order to ensure you receive the best results from your dental veneer treatment, you must make a commitment to a good dental hygiene regimen. This will ensure your veneers continue looking and functioning their very best.

Here are some simple tips to help keep your smile beautiful and healthy:

• Brush your teeth and veneers at least twice a day and floss regularly to maintain your oral health and lower your risk of any dental problems.
• Talk to your dentist if you suffer from bruxism. They can fabricate a customized mouthguard for you to wear. This will minimize any stress placed upon your teeth while you sleep, making your veneers last longer.
• Make sure to visit your dentist for a post-treatment checkup after one week. This allows him/her to evaluate the placement of your veneers, the gum tissue response, and address any concerns you may have.
• Schedule yearly checkups with your dentist so that your veneers and oral health can be reviewed periodically.
