Dental veneers are recommended for individuals seeking to address a variety of cosmetic dental concerns. If you have stained or discolored teeth that resist traditional whitening methods, chips, cracks or unevenly shaped teeth, veneers may be the ideal solution. They are also suitable for closing small gaps between teeth and correcting minor misalignments, offering a versatile option for smile enhancement.
The process involves a consultation at A’s Dental Care with Gregorio Joseph Aquino, DDS, preparation and application phases. During the consultation, our dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals and determine the suitability of veneers for your case. Dr. Aquino will then remove a small amount of enamel from your front teeth where he will place the veneers. Once prepared, the custom-made veneers are bonded to the teeth, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Dental veneers provide a durable and long-lasting solution to various cosmetic concerns. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, veneers offer strength and resilience comparable to natural teeth. They are stain-resistant, providing a lasting solution for a brighter and more confident smile. Additionally, the versatility of veneers makes them a popular choice for achieving a harmonious and balanced dental appearance.
FAQ
What are dental veneers, and how do they work?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are typically made from porcelain or resin composite materials, and they are bonded to your teeth to improve appearance. Veneers can correct discoloration, chipped teeth, misalignment or gaps, providing a natural, aesthetically pleasing look.
How long do dental veneers last?
On average, dental veneers can last between 10 and 15 years with proper care. Longevity depends on factors such as your oral hygiene routine, diet and habits like grinding or clenching your teeth. Regular checkups with our dentist and avoiding hard or sticky foods can help extend the lifespan of your veneers.
Do dental veneers require special care?
Dental veneers do not require any special care beyond good oral hygiene. You should brush and floss daily, just as you would with natural teeth. It is also important to avoid habits like chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools to protect the veneers from damage.
Are dental veneers reversible?
No, dental veneers are not reversible. In order to place veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed from the surface of your teeth. This process is permanent, meaning the teeth will always require some form of covering, whether it is veneers or another restorative option.
Can veneers stain over time?
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining, unlike natural teeth. However, resin composite veneers are more prone to discoloration. It is still important to avoid foods and drinks that can cause stains, such as coffee, tea and red wine, and maintain a regular oral hygiene routine.
