5 Misconceptions About Veneers – Get The Facts!
If you’re interested in getting a beautiful, confident smile, porcelain veneers from Dr. E-Jan Tung and Dr. Quinn Liu at White Dental Spa are an effective, long-lasting option! We know that there are many misconceptions surrounding veneers, and the team at White Dental Spa wants to make sure that you have all the facts:
1. Veneers Require The Removal Of Tooth Enamel
Traditional veneers require the removal of a thin layer of enamel, equal to the thickness of the veneer. This is done to ensure a perfect, seamless fit.
However, at White Dental Spa, we offer Lumineers porcelain veneers. These veneers are built from an incredibly thin, yet durable porcelain that’s only about as thick as a contact lens. This option is also known as “no-prep” veneers, Lumineers can be applied to your teeth without requiring the removal of any tooth enamel!
2. Veneers Are Not Reversible
If your tooth enamel is removed for traditional veneers, you’ll always need to wear veneers.
However, since no enamel is removed for Lumineers, your veneers can easily be removed and the procedure can be reversed, should you ever desire to do so.
3. Porcelain Veneers Are Fragile And Break Easily
It’s a common misconception that veneers tend to crack and break easily. Most sets of veneers easily last for 10+ years, and even longer with proper care.
However, there are a few things you should avoid if you have veneers. Teeth grinding (bruxism) for example, can destroy both your teeth and your veneers, so you should wear a night guard if you tend to grind your teeth while you sleep. It’s also important to avoid biting non-food items, such as pens. Extremely hard foods like almonds or ice should also be avoided.
4. Veneers Are Way Too Expensive For Me
The price of veneers depends mainly on the products used, as well as the number of veneers that you require. Best of all, you don’t have to pay for the procedure up-front. At White Dental Spa, we offer resources to help keep cosmetic treatments within your budget.
