Are you well versed in veneers? For instance, do you know what to do to keep your porcelain veneers in excellent condition once they have been placed? Are you certain about whether or not you qualify as a candidate for this cosmetic treatment? While you may know a lot about the benefits, which include exceptional camouflaging and completely customized design, you may require a bit more knowledge in other areas. Begin by considering common questions (and answers) to set you on track – and remember to schedule a visit, so we can provide you with a personalized cosmetic care plan.

Q&A: Porcelain Veneers

Question: Is there a good way to prevent my veneers from becoming damaged?

Answer: Yes, you simply need to take care of them like you usually care for your smile – daily brushing and flossing are essential. In addition, avoid any type of additional pressure. For instance, don’t chew on your pen or your utensils while you eat, don’t snack on ice or super-hard foods, and if you suffer from bruxism – seek treatment.

Question: What if you discover my cosmetic damage is too significant for porcelain veneers? Do I have any options?

Answer: Of course. In most cases, patients who do not qualify for veneers should consider porcelain crowns. They offer full coverage, which allows us to fully transform the appearance of individual teeth, while protecting them and restoring their beauty.

Question: Can you use teeth whitening on veneers? How do I make sure I achieve and maintain the white smile that I want?

Answer: No, you will not be able to whiten your veneers. Fortunately, we will customize their shade, so you enjoy a beautiful white smile. Since they resist stains, limiting your intake of staining foods (or simply remembering to rinse then brush after you eat) will help you maintain a dazzling grin.
