FAQ’s

1. Are veneers good for teeth?

Dental veneers improves the appearance of your smile while maintaining a natural look. They can correct stains, chips, gaps, and more. However, it’s important to consult your dentist before getting them.

2. Do veneers look natural?

Veneers can absolutely look natural. They are designed to imitate the appearance of natural teeth. The choice of material, the customization of the design, and the expertise of the dentist all contribute to the natural appearance of veneers.

3. Are veneers permanently white?

Veneers do not become stained because they’re completely non-porous. Once your veneers are placed, they’ll stay the same color forever. There’s no way to whiten them or change their color besides removing and replacing them.

4. What is the difference between veneers and laminates?

In short, veneers and laminates are the same. Both are thin layers of material (often porcelain or composite resin) that are bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. The terms are often used interchangeably.

5. What is the thickness of the dental laminate?

Dental laminates, also known as veneers, are thin shells that are added to the front surface of the tooth. The thickness of the laminates is typically from two-tenths to half a millimeter, similar to the thickness of eye lenses.

6. How long do veneers last?

The lifespan of dental veneers can vary. Porcelain veneers are generally sturdy and can last for 10 and 15 years with proper care. However, with excellent aftercare and maintenance, they may last 20 years or more.

7. Are veneers only for the top teeth?

Veneers can be used on both the top and bottom teeth. They are typically placed on the front-facing teeth, which include incisors, canines, and, in some rare cases, premolars.

8. Can I bite with veneers?

Yes, you can bite with veneers. However, it’s recommended to avoid biting into hard objects like ice cubes, hard candies, nuts, or pens, as it can potentially damage or chip the veneers.
