Wondering if dental veneers are the right cosmetic treatment to improve your smile?
You are interested in getting dental veneers but perhaps you have some questions first. Our cosmetic dentists in Burlington and Jericho, VT, Dr. Paul Dunkling and Dr. Greg Penney love nothing more than to provide patients with the information they need to make the best decisions about their dental health. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about dental veneers.
When are dental veneers recommended?
Veneers are a wonderful way to improve the overall aesthetics of your smile. They can completely reshape, brighten, and even realign the teeth. These porcelain shells are bonded only to the front of your teeth, hiding these common imperfections:
- Stains and discolorations
- Chips and cracks
- Spacing between teeth
- Crowding and minor misalignments
- Misshapen teeth
- Worn or extremely short teeth
How long do dental veneers last?
Your veneers’ lifespan really depends a lot on you. If you are gentle on your teeth, keep teeth and gums clean, and keep up with professional dental cleanings, then your veneers could easily last up to 15 years or longer.
Will veneers stain?
This is another wonderful benefit of dental veneers. Since veneers are usually made from porcelain, this makes them incredibly stain resistant. While we can’t say that this gives you free license to eat all the dark foods and drinks you want, it is nice to know that your morning cup of coffee or unwinding with a glass of red wine in the evening won’t affect the color of your veneers.
