Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that fit the front surface of the teeth. They are strong, long-lasting and natural-looking, and they tend to cost more.
Composite veneers are made of tooth-colored filling material bonded to the tooth. They may require less enamel removal and fewer visits, and they are easier to repair if damaged, but they are not as resistant to stains or wear as porcelain veneers.
No. Placing veneers requires removing some tooth enamel, so the treatment cannot be reversed. This is one reason the American Dental Association recommends that only a licensed dentist place veneers.
Any existing problems, such as tooth decay or gum disease, must be treated first, because placing veneers over unhealthy teeth may make those problems worse.
Avoid biting your nails and chewing hard objects or foods, wear a mouthguard during sports, and limit drinks that stain, like coffee, tea and red wine. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth every day.
Remember that cavities can still form under or around veneers. Over time, veneers may chip, crack, wear down or loosen and need to be repaired or replaced, so keep your regular dental visits.
Share your dental history, your expectations and any concerns. Your dentist will check for tooth decay or gum disease first, since those problems must be treated before any cosmetic work. You will also choose a shade that matches your natural teeth with your dentist's guidance.
If you clench or grind your teeth, tell your dentist, because it can affect which cosmetic option is best for you.
Veneers are custom-made coverings for teeth that look natural. They can improve the look of teeth that are chipped or broken, stained, or crooked or misshapen, and they can also hide gaps in your smile.
Unlike crowns, veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth, not the whole tooth. Your dentist will help you choose a shade that matches your natural teeth.
First, the dentist removes a small amount of enamel from the front and sides of the tooth. Then an impression or 3D computer model of the tooth is made, and a dental lab creates your custom porcelain veneers. You may wear temporary veneers in the meantime.
At your next visit, the dentist tries on the veneers to check the fit and shape, makes any adjustments, cleans your teeth, and bonds the veneers in place. It may take a few days to get used to them, so tell your dentist if your bite feels different.
Veneers may not be a good choice if you clench or grind your teeth or have a deep overbite. Veneers are considered cosmetic, so dental insurance may not cover them unless they are medically necessary.
Share your dental history, expectations and concerns with your dentist, who can explain whether veneers or another option, like teeth whitening, is the best fit for your smile.
The American Dental Association is aware of reports of so-called technicians offering this cosmetic treatment directly to the public. Treatment by unlicensed individuals may carry risks of infection and nerve damage, and they may place restorations over teeth that are not healthy.
The ADA encourages people to get care from a licensed dentist for proper diagnosis, treatment and safety. Before you commit to any cosmetic treatment, check that your provider is licensed in your state.
