What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth, and they can be used to improve the appearance of your smile. With diligent oral hygiene practices, they have the potential to keep your teeth looking great for many years!
Who is a candidate for dental veneers?
If you are considering dental veneers, there are a few oral health factors that your dentist will consider when determining whether or not you are a good candidate for dental veneers. These include:
- The condition of your teeth: In order to be a candidate for dental veneers, your teeth must be in good condition. This means that they should be free of decay and other damage.
- The strength of your teeth: Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain, which means that they are not as strong as your natural teeth. As a result, it is important to make sure that your teeth are strong enough to support the veneers.
- The alignment of your teeth: If your teeth are severely misaligned, you may not be a good candidate for dental veneers. This is because the veneers may not stay in place if your teeth are not properly aligned.
