If you want a prettier smile, you ought to try dental veneers<\/a>. These ceramic shells can transform your grin from the ground up. That said, a veneer treatment is a big investment. You\u2019ll want to know how it works before you fully commit. (Otherwise, you may not get your ideal results.) Luckily, your Virginia Beach dentist has the vital details for you. Here are four crucial veneer facts you should learn before getting the shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Not Reversible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Truthfully, veneers aren\u2019t something to take lightly. Their placement process makes permanent changes to your teeth. To that extent, they\u2019re not reversible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, a dentist must \u201cprep\u201d your teeth to receive veneers. However, this step requires them to remove bits of your tooth enamel. (The removal helps the shells fit well.) Said enamel won\u2019t grow back, so treated teeth will always need veneers in the future. The alternative is to suffer a larger risk of tooth sensitivity and infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given this reality, make sure you want veneers. They\u2019ll certainly improve your smile, but they\u2019ll also alter your tooth structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Need Regular Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, veneers can make treated teeth look flawless. In reality, though, the shells aren\u2019t invincible. They need regular care to work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, veneers can fail early if they\u2019re neglected. They might suffer stains despite their stain resistance. Similarly, the shells could chip or crack from a forceful bite. Veneers may also be removed when their underlying teeth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can avoid these outcomes with proper veneer care. Just remember to brush the shells twice daily, floss between them once daily, and rinse them often with mouthwash. That way, they\u2019re likely to stay shiny and whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Can Be Long-Lasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, veneers aren\u2019t permanent. Even the best ones need replacement over time. Still, their effects can last for many years at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be specific, the average veneer lasts roughly 10 years. Well-maintained ones, though, can reach a lifespan of 15 years or more. As such, caring for them ensures a cost-effective treatment. Help them last, then, by seeing your dentist often for cleanings and checkups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Are Custom-Made<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t already know, veneers aren\u2019t generic. They\u2019re specially customized so that they work for your unique smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, lab workers follow a special process to make veneers. Using a dental impression of your prepped teeth, they craft the shells over a two-week period. This time and effort allows the finished shells to blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, it\u2019s best to grasp crucial veneer facts before treatment. That being the case, memorize the ones above as you prepare for the shells!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
