Veneers<\/a> are an excellent solution to enhance your smile by covering minor flaws. These thin, ceramic shells are affixed to the front of your teeth to shield them from further damage as well as elevate your appearance. Everyone\u2019s situation is unique, however, so it\u2019s important to determine whether they\u2019re a good fit for you. On top of that, they can be quite an investment in time and resources so it\u2019s important to be well informed before moving forward with treatment. Keep reading to learn 4 facts about veneers that might influence your decision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fact #1: Veneers Require Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many patients jump into veneers without considering the permanence of their decision. For these covers to line up with your natural pearly whites, your dentist must first remove some of your enamel. This substance does not grow back, so this preparatory step results in an irreversible change to the structure of your tooth. Not only that but once installed, veneers are essentially permanent and cannot be detached. If you\u2019re not ready for that level of commitment, you might consider other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #2: Veneers Need Special Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to maintain a consistent dental hygiene routine every day to keep your veneers in tip-top shape. Though they\u2019re made of ceramic and cannot develop cavities themselves, it\u2019s still possible for harmful bacteria to penetrate around or beneath them and cause tooth decay. That means you\u2019ll need to brush and floss your teeth twice every day to eradicate unwanted microbes. Also, avoid chomping on hard objects like ice, pen caps, or fingernails. These habits can break your veneers and you\u2019ll need to replace them sooner than you would have otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #3: Oral Health Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may not even be considered a valid candidate for veneers if you have dental problems like tooth decay or gum disease. Thankfully, these conditions don\u2019t preclude you from treatment forever. You\u2019ll have to work with your dentist to clear them up before you can proceed with this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #4: Veneers Are Cosmetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These porcelain shields are considered a purely cosmetic fix by insurance companies. They\u2019re an elective resolution meant to improve how you look and aren\u2019t a part of preventative care. That means it\u2019s not likely that your dental plan will cover the cost. Some other solutions that can mask imperfections, like dental crowns, are sometimes necessary to protect a damaged tooth and are more likely to be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have more questions about veneers, don\u2019t hesitate to contact your dentist. They\u2019ll be able to provide information based on your current needs and the condition of your teeth. If they feel a different method would serve you better, they\u2019ll be sure to let you know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
