Dental veneers have proven to be the right choice for many people. They may be the right choice for you, too. There are factors about their installation process that may appeal to you. On the other hand, as with any procedure, there are downsides to consider. Our team at Country Club Dental in Flagstaff is here to help you go over the pros and cons of dental veneers.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells, or strips, that are attached to your damaged or faded teeth. They are used to help improve your smile. While there are other varieties, porcelain veneers are widely considered the most durable and economical. They also supply your teeth with the most shine, and are most naturally matched to your tooth color.
Dental Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers have helped many brighten their smiles. We find that this variety has more pros than cons, but, of course, every set of teeth is different. Porcelain veneers:
- Look amazing. No other types of veneers compare to the flawless, sheer quality of porcelain.
- Last a long time. These veneers are durable and can last for over ten years. This, of course, depends on how well you care for them.
- Are affordable. We will discuss the best course of payment of your veneers.
- Are easy to care for. Practice good oral hygiene and avoid harmful habits, just as you would with your natural teeth. We’re happy to help you with veneer maintenance and care to ensure they last as long as possible
- Are stain-resistant. Even the highest-quality veneers may stain, but generally not until they’ve been on your teeth for upwards of five years.
Cons
Although they work wonders for many smiles, veneers aren’t for everybody. Carefully weigh the disadvantages of veneers before you move forward with the process.
- The process is slightly lengthy. The process of installing veneers will take around 3 visits to ensure proper fit and color.
- They may chip. While veneers are resistant to damage, chipping occurs once in a while.
- They don’t cover the entire tooth. Veneers only cover the enamel of the tooth, so the rest of the tooth is still exposed to decay and damage.
Should I Get Dental Veneers?
Getting dental veneers is a big decision. It’s important to think carefully through all the pros and cons before you choose to have them applied. That said, we believe veneers are a solid investment that will not only brighten your smile, but boost your confidence as well.
