Dealing with a wide spectrum of dental issues, porcelain veneers are a great fix. Still, not every patient is suitable for this kind of dental work. Our dentist will walk over some of the requirements our customers need to satisfy in order to acquire veneers.
- Healthy teeth: The patient is not a good candidate for porcelain veneers if he or she has major issues with gum disease, tooth fractures, or periodontal disease. Though our dentist cannot begin therapy, he can fix past tooth issues the patient might have. Our dentist will be able to start the veneer treatment without any problems once this is finished.
- Orthodontics can align crowded teeth: Dental adhesives can mend chipped teeth; discolored teeth can be bleached. Although dental work requires particular treatments for every situation, the major benefit of porcelain veneers is that they let one treatment address several smile flaws. In this sense, porcelain veneers can address all of your multiple smile issues in one visit.
- In essence, then, you are not a good candidate for dental veneers if you have cavities, gingivitis, fractured teeth, or another condition. Porcelain veneers cannot be applied by any dentist to non-healthy teeth or gums. You will be a wonderful candidate for veneers, though, if you treat and fix these issues.
- Patients who very tightly clench or grind their teeth are not suitable candidates for porcelain veneers. Though not as strong as natural teeth, veneers are indeed composed of good materials and are rather durable. Parafunctional habits, including bruxism, might thus splinter or damage them more readily. If a patient uses a dental guard while she sleeps, some who only grind or pressure their teeth at night can acquire porcelain veneers.
- Good tooth enamel: Veneers stick to the surface enamel of teeth. Should the patient have lost a lot of dental enamel, the treatment’s efficacy could perhaps be hampered.
- Alignment of teeth can affect the placement and success of porcelain veneers. Actually, mismatched teeth and the pressure the jaw generates when biting cause more readily breaking of them. Starting an orthodontic treatment first is advised if one wants to straighten a poor alignment.
Most likely, the fastest and easiest approach to having the perfect smile is with porcelain veneers. The reality is that choosing the correct dentist and avoiding too frequent dentist appointments is not at all difficult!
