When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, one of the most long-lasting and visually noticeable procedures is placing veneers. Veneers are shell-like coverings placed over a tooth. They are designed to be highly realistic and blend in with the rest of your teeth to create a beautiful smile. If you’re considering getting veneers, check out these commonly asked questions about them as well as their answers.
- Who gets veneers? Veneers are for anyone who isn’t satisfied with any visual impairments their teeth have. For example, the appearance of chipped, small, or even misshapen teeth can be improved by the addition of veneers.
- What disqualifies you from getting veneers? It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene before and after getting veneers. If you have pre-existing dental problems, such as several cavities, you won’t be able to get veneers until these issues are fully addressed.
- Can you get veneers on multiple teeth? You can place veneers on a single tooth or multiple teeth. Talk with your dentist about what your specific situation is and what teeth you would like to have covered. Your dentist will let you know which of your teeth are eligible for this procedure.
- How do you take care of your veneers? The maintenance for veneers tends to overlap with regular tooth maintenance. Be sure to brush them just like you brush your natural teeth and go to your dentist for regular checkups.
