Is there something you would like to change about your smile?

We are living in the golden age of cosmetic dentistry. Veneers have quickly become the best and most esthetic options for cosmetic issues with your smile. Unlike Invisalign, which can only straighten teeth, or whitening treatments that only brighten the color of your teeth, veneers fix multiple issues with your smile at once. Veneers eliminate the appearance of stains, chips, cracks, and even small gaps. You’ll have a beautiful and natural smile without any imperfections.

At Locust Valley Dentists, we believe strongly in the power of cosmetic dentistry. Changing the way you look will help change how you feel about yourself. Keep reading to learn more about what to expect from your visit to Locust Valley Dentists.

Porcelain Veneer FAQs

Are crowns better than veneers?

Crowns and veneers serve different purposes. If you have a significant amount of tooth missing, a crown may be best. However, veneers can correct minor breakages, cracks, or cosmetic concerns.

Are Porcelain veneers permanent?

Porcelain veneers can last for many years with the right care, but most often need to be replaced eventually.

Are Porcelain veneers worth it?

Porcelain veneers can be a great way to transform your smile for the long term. One of the biggest benefits is that it acts just like your natural teeth.

Are temporary veneers thicker?

Yes. Temporary veneers can come with a small adjustment period while you get used to them and are typically worn for one week or more.

Can you sleep with veneers?

Veneers are essentially a part of your teeth once theyre placed by your dentist. This means you can sleep, eat, and brush them just like your normal teeth.

Can a regular dentist do veneers?

Not all dentists offer cosmetic dentistry services, so make sure when youre looking for porcelain veneers that your provider is experienced in cosmetic dentistry.

Can veneers fall off?

As long as they are properly applied, porcelain veneers are designed to be permanently attached to the teeth.

Can you get veneers on bottom teeth?

Yes. Dr. Koster will examine your mouth and work with you to determine which teeth would benefit from porcelain veneers.

Can you get veneers without shaving your teeth?

To properly apply veneers, the surface of each tooth must be ground slightly to create a rough texture that allows for the strongest bond to your teeth.

Do veneers make your teeth look bigger?

Veneers are custom-made to be as close to your desired appearance as possible, giving you an even and beautiful smile.

Do Veneers stay white?

Just like natural teeth, veneers can become discolored over time if not taken care of.

Can you use hydrogen peroxide on veneers?

Because porcelain is a different material than natural tooth enamel, traditional whitening with hydrogen peroxide is usually ineffective.

Can you use mouthwash with veneers?

Yes, you should continue using your normal brushing, flossing, and mouthwash routine to keep veneers white and your teeth and gums healthy.

Do you have to brush your teeth with veneers?

Yes, veneers can become discolored just like normal teeth, and in fact are difficult to whiten if this is the case. Brushing is also critical to keeping teeth healthy, so you should always brush twice a day.

How do you clean your real teeth with veneers?

You care for your natural teeth by caring for your veneers well: brushing twice a day and flossing once a day, and seeing your dentist on a regular basis.

Do veneers feel like real teeth?

Yes, in fact, veneers may feel a little slicker and therefore cleaner than real teeth due to the polished surface.

How do you clean your teeth under veneers?

You do not clean the surface of the tooth that has been shaved down to place the veneers. Instead, you clean the veneers like you would clean your natural teeth.
