Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are the best option for repairing crooked, worn or stained teeth, and for the filling of any uneven gaps or large spaces.

The doctors and oral healthcare professionals at Friedler Dental Group want to educate their patients, current and new, on the choices, types, and prudent considerations of dental veneers.

Porcelain Veneers

This type of veneer is a customized, thin coating that covers the tooth. The benefits of porcelain are its resistance to stains and its durability. Porcelain veneers look more natural teeth than the composite resin veneers.

Composite Resin Veneers

Unlike the porcelain veneers that coat the teeth, composite resin veneers attach to the teeth. The main benefits of the resin veneer may be its affordability when compared to the porcelain veneer. There are fewer follow-up appointments required after the application of resin veneers, and they are easily repaired should they become damaged.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Dental veneers are permanent because the structure of the natural tooth is changed. In order to properly place a veneer, the enamel of the tooth is partially removed.

A patient needs to understand that, once the enamel is removed, the process is not reversible. Dental veneers may not be the best option for those who grind their teeth, unless a plastic guard is worn at night.

We will need to treat all conditions and issues relating to your teeth and gums before any veneer is applied.

After the Veneer Procedure

It may take a few days to adjust to a veneer. Veneers are prone to chipping under the pressures of biting and chewing. Your dentist will give care instructions and food restrictions specific to the veneer’s type and placement in the mouth. However, maintaining the veneer is much like maintaining your natural teeth. You must continue to practice effective oral hygiene, become more diligent about brushing and flossing, and continue to see your dentist regularly.
