Veneers

Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length

HOW DOES IT WORK

Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers. They also better mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist. What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix? Veneers are routinely used to fix: Teeth that are discolored because of: Root canal treatment Stains from tetracycline or other drugs Excessive fluoride Large resin fillings Other causes Teeth that are worn down Teeth that are chipped or broken Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them) Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

SIDE EFFECTS

What are the side effects and risks?

Side effects that have been reported include:

  • The process cannot be undone.
  • Veneers cost more than composite resin bonding.
  • Veneers usually cannot be repaired if they chip or crack.
  • Teeth with veneers can still experience decay, possibly necessitating full coverage of the tooth with a crown.
  • Veneers usually cannot be repaired if they chip or crack.
  • People who clench and grind their teeth are poor candidates for porcelain veneers, as this can cause the veneers to crack or chip.
