Veneer Candidacy Quiz

quiztalkbubblesHave you been thinking that the benefits of porcelain veneers are in line with your needs but you don’t know if you will qualify as a candidate for this cosmetic treatment? As you have likely figured out, the only way to know for sure whether veneers are an option for you (or if, perhaps, you need something else) is to schedule some time to speak with us about your cosmetic goals. However, when it comes to those facts you have gathered on your own, let’s see how you’re doing with a quick quiz.

Quiz Questions: True or False?

  1. True or False: If you want porcelain veneers, you will first need to receive a clean bill of oral health from us – otherwise, trying to cover up unhealthy teeth will just lead to additional problems.
  2. True or False: If you are interested in veneers, we will place them for you if you are looking to improve natural tooth tissue. We, however, cannot place them over artificial tissue.
  3. True or False: Qualifying for veneers means that you have time to come in for two or three visits.

Quiz Answers

  1. True. With porcelain veneers as well as all other cosmetic treatments, we begin by addressing any oral health needs first. Attempting to improve esthetic issues, while a health issue is occurring, will lead to further problems.
  2. True. If you want to be a candidate for veneers, you must recognize that they work on natural tissue. To address esthetic concerns with artificial teeth (like dental crowns), we will need to make other plans.
  3. True. We will need to prep your teeth, take impressions, and then place the veneers once they are completed. Within a few short visits, you will receive a transformed smile.
