Veneer Fear: Addressing Common Concerns

Have you been dreaming about the day you could completely make over your smile from the moment you learned about the advantages of porcelain veneers? Well, why haven’t you scheduled your cosmetic consultation yet? Perhaps you are suffering from veneer fear. It turns out that even though veneers offer exceptional benefits, patients sometimes become sidetracked by those aspects of the treatment that remain unknown. Before you kiss your dreams of a dazzling smile goodbye, we encourage you to have your questions answered – you will find that treatment really is as effective as it seems.

If You’re Worried About Your Smile’s Color…

They won’t lose their luster immediately (or for a very long time) if you take care of them. Since porcelain veneers are made out of porcelain, they are able to resist staining. What this means is that you can eat whatever you want but you should pay a bit of attention to rinsing your smile and brushing after indulging in foods that are known staining agents. It’s no different than the way you should treat your natural teeth.

If You’re Scared Your Smile Will Look Unnatural…

This is not possible. Why? Veneers are made to look just like your natural teeth, so you may enhance your smile and improve it. The multiple translucent layers of the veneer are just like your tooth. The reflective properties of veneers are similar to your teeth, so you can expect a natural luster. And, of course, we will customize the veneers to complement your features.

If You Think Veneers Won’t Hold Up…

They’re very strong. Keep this in mind when you feel worried. Unless you suffer from chronic teeth grinding or have a habit of consistently chewing on things like ice (which is dangerous for your natural teeth, too) then your veneers should last many years.
