What are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, ceramic shells created to fit over individual teeth. Veneers offer an effective way to enhance the appearance of teeth. They can address various issues, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment.

A veneer can be added to individual teeth or to all visible teeth to completely upgrade a patient’s smile. During your initial appointment, Dr. Scheddin will evaluate your smile needs and take the necessary measurements of your teeth.

Veneers FAQs

What Happens to the Teeth Under Veneers?

Veneers do not harm teeth. However, we do need to remove a small amount of enamel so the veneer can sit flush. Bonding material attaches the veneer to your tooth, a material that is completely safe for teeth. Veneers also do not increase your risk for cavities, but you will need to brush and floss to prevent buildup on your teeth and gums. Thankfully, your oral hygiene does not have to change to keep them clean – just maintained. Brush twice a day and floss daily as well as maintain routine checkups and cleanings every six months.

How Long Do Veneers Last?

Veneers can last for a very long time, especially when they are made with durable porcelain. In fact, they can last anywhere between 10 and 15 years, but their lifespan will vary depending on how well you treat them. If your veneers fail, it’s usually because of fractures, chips, or cracks. With the right at-home oral hygiene, they can last even longer, or closer to 20 years. To give your veneers the best protection possible, stick to a strict dental hygiene regimen and do not use your teeth to bite hard or inedible objects.

Is There Anyone Who Shouldn’t Get Veneers?

If you have teeth with cavities or decay in general, you should have these issues handled first before receiving veneers. This is because your dental problem will only grow worse if it is left untreated. It also becomes more difficult to resolve through professional means. Gum disease can interfere with the veneer process as well. For example, if your gums are bleeding or swollen, the impressions necessary to create your veneers won’t come out properly. Additionally, if your gums recede, it could reveal the margin between your veneer and your natural tooth.
