What are porcelain veneers used for?

Porcelain veneers are used to correct a variety of cosmetic dental issues. They can improve the appearance of discolored, chipped, or cracked teeth, close small gaps, and even make slightly misaligned teeth appear straighter. Veneers are a popular choice for patients seeking a brighter, more uniform smile. By covering the front surface of teeth with custom-made, natural-looking porcelain shells, veneers provide a durable and long-lasting solution for enhancing overall dental aesthetics.

Will veneers make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold foods after their veneers are placed. This is usually due to the removal of a small amount of enamel during the preparation process. This temporary sensitivity typically subsides within a few days or weeks as your teeth adjust. Proper care and avoiding extreme temperatures in food or drinks can help minimize discomfort. If sensitivity persists, our office can provide solutions to help ensure your comfort.

Should I get veneers or undergo Invisalign?

Choosing between veneers and Invisalign depends on your dental goals. Veneers are ideal for addressing cosmetic concerns like discoloration, minor chips, or uneven shapes. Invisalign is better for correcting misaligned teeth or bite issues. Veneers provide quicker results, while Invisalign focuses on long-term orthodontic adjustments.
