What are veneers and what can they do for my smile?
Veneers are custom shells placed over the front part of teeth. They hide flaws like chips, gaps, stains, and irregular shapes, making your teeth look uniform and perfect.
How are veneers different from dental bonding?
Bonding involves adhering a composite material to the tooth’s surface to fix imperfections, while veneers fully cover the front of the tooth like a shell.
Do veneers strengthen teeth or only cover flaws?
The primary purpose of veneers is to cover flaws. They can’t repair damage done to teeth. However, they can provide extra strength to weak teeth because they are another strong layer of support.
Are there eligibility requirements for veneers?
Yes, those who have many cavities or other issues like gum disease can’t get veneers until those problems are addressed and stabilized.
Are veneers customized for each individual?
At Charima Dental, we ensure veneers are customized for each patient. They match your teeth, mouth and are the same shape and color of your natural teeth.
What kinds of problems can porcelain veneers address?
Porcelain veneers cover all types of imperfections from stains to teeth gaps. They cover broken or chipped teeth and make misshapen teeth look uniform.
Are veneers a permanent solution?
Yes, veneers are permanent. They are bonded to teeth so they can’t be removed. They may need replacing after 10 years or so but it is a lifelong decision.
What is the first step to getting veneers?
Charisma Dental puts priority on oral health so we recommend resolving oral health issues first. Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic option so that comes after dental issues are remedied.
