Veneers

Veneers explained in clear patient-friendly language, including what to notice, what a dentist may review, and questions to ask.

Restoring Teeth

Veneers cover the front of selected teeth to change color, proportion, shape, or spacing.

Description

Veneers cover the front of selected teeth to change color, proportion, shape, or spacing.

What to Expect

A thin facing is planned for selected front teeth; enamel may be conservatively prepared before scanning, provisionalization, bonding, and bite adjustment.

Risks and Concerns

Sensitivity, debonding, chipping, color mismatch, gum changes, and irreversible enamel reduction are possible; veneers eventually may need replacement.

Treatment Alternatives

Whitening, orthodontics, bonding, contouring, a crown, or no treatment may achieve the goal with different tradeoffs.

Delaying Treatment

Delay is usually elective, but existing decay, cracks, wear, or bite problems may worsen and should be treated independently of appearance.

Questions to Ask

Can a no-prep or additive option work? How will color and shape be previewed? What habits threaten longevity?
