What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin and durable restorations usually made from resin or porcelain. They are perfect when you have minor or moderate cosmetic flaws like a misshapen tooth or discoloration that hasn’t responded to teeth whitening. Very little tooth structure needs to be removed to create a beautiful, natural-looking restoration with veneers.

Unique Benefits of Veneers

Veneers are a great way to repair minor cosmetic imperfections and reshape your teeth without removing a lot of tooth structure. They’re also perfect for changing the shade of teeth that won’t lighten with traditional whitening techniques.

The Treatment Process

Getting veneers usually require two visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure. Your teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel off the surface of your teeth to allow for the thickness of the veneer. An impression is taken and a tooth shade will be chosen by you and the dentist. Once your veneer is ready, light-cured bonding cement is used to adhere the veneer into place.

How to Care for Your Veneers

What Should I Avoid?

Caring for your veneers is easy if you follow a few simple rules:

Don’t bite into anything too hard or crunchy with your new veneers. Cut apples and other fruits into bite-sized pieces or you risk chipping a veneer.
Don’t bite your nails or other hard non-food items like ice or pen caps.
Avoid sticky food like caramels which could dislodge your veneers

Am I a Good Candidate for Veneers?

The Right Treatment

You’re an ideal candidate for veneers if your teeth and gums are healthy and your natural tooth is moderately straight. You also need enough enamel on your teeth to support the preparation process.

You should refrain from biting your nails and shouldn’t be a nighttime clencher or grinder, otherwise, you risk chipping your veneers. If you do grind your teeth at night, wearing a nightguard can help keep your veneers in good shape.
