What is a Dental Veneer?

A Veneer is a thin piece of porcelain used to re-create the natural look of teeth, while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. Veneers are custom made to the contour of your teeth and are bonded to the tooth’s original enamel during a series of in-office procedures.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?

The right veneers are a quick way to a beautiful smile, and this treatment is perfect for people with teeth that are stained, chipped or have gaps. However, veneers are an irreversible treatment, so having them placed is a big decision. Before you and your dentist decide the procedure is right for you, it's important to have the right information about veneers, their cost and how best to care for them.

Dental Veneer Benefits

Veneers offer these advantages:

They provide a natural tooth appearance.
Gums tolerates porcelain well.
Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
A color can be selected to make dark teeth appear whiter.
They generally don't require as much shaping as crowns do, yet they are stronger and look more natural.

Dental Veneer Risks

Downsides to dental veneers include:

The process cannot be undone.
Veneers cost more than composite resin bonding.
Veneers usually cannot be repaired if they chip or crack.
Because enamel has been removed, your tooth may become more sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks.
Veneers are not a good choice for people with unhealthy teeth (for example, those with decay or active gum disease), weakened teeth (as a result of decay, fracture, large dental fillings) or for those who don't have enough existing enamel on the tooth surface.
