What is a Porcelain veneer?
Dental veneers are a popular choice to correct a wide range of dental issues including chipped teeth, a gap between teeth, or misshaped teeth. Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. Our office offers custom created porcelain veneers for a long-lasting, stain resisting, natural looking bright smile.
How do dental veneers work?
Frequently asked questions
+ Can veneers chip or break under pressure?
Porcelain veneers are incredibly strong and rarely crack or chip. However, because veneers are like natural teeth, they can chip and serious misuse can damage them. To protect the health and appearance of your teeth, you should avoid potentially damaging activities like biting your nails, using your teeth as tools, or scraping your teeth with metal utensils.
+ How long will my veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are a permanent form of tooth enhancement. Once fitted to your teeth, they will last up to 20 years if well-maintained and if your natural teeth remain healthy. Veneers may need to be replaced or re-bonded if the tooth or surrounding gum tissues change.
