Dental Veneers

• Provide a natural tooth appearance.
• Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.
• Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant.
• The color can allow dark teeth to appear whiter.
• Offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color and shape.

Disadvantages of Dental Veneers

• The process is not reversible.
• Veneers are much more costly than composite resin bonding.
• Usually not repairable should they chip or crack.
• Your teeth can become more sensitive to hot and cold foods and beverages.
• They may not exactly match the color of your other teeth. Since the veneer’s color cannot be altered once in place, you will need to whiten before getting them placed.
• Veneers can dislodge and fall off. To lower the chance of this occurring, do not bite your nails; chew on pencils, ice, or other hard objects; or excessive pressure on your teeth.
• Even though you have veneers, your teeth can still experience decay.
• Veneers are not the best choice for individuals who have unhealthy teeth, weakened teeth, or a small amount of existing enamel.
• Individuals who clench and grind their teeth are poor candidates for porcelain veneers, as these activities can cause them to crack or chip.
