Good candidates for veneers are individuals who have healthy teeth but may have cosmetic concerns such as stains, gaps, or minor misalignments. Patients who want to enhance their smile without extensive dental work like braces may find veneers to be an ideal solution. It’s important to have healthy gums and teeth free of decay or severe damage. A consultation with a dentist can help determine if veneers are right for you.
Porcelain veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years with proper care, while composite resin veneers may last slightly less. The longevity of veneers depends on factors such as oral hygiene, biting habits, and regular dental check-ups. To prolong the lifespan of veneers, it's important to avoid habits like biting hard objects and maintaining a routine of brushing and flossing.
The process of getting veneers is generally not painful, as local anesthesia is often used during the preparation of the teeth. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days. Once the veneers are in place, they are designed to feel natural and comfortable, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.
