OUTCOME OF DENTAL VENEERS
Pros of dental veneers
Veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile.
They blend in with your natural teeth for lifelike results.
Veneers resist staining better than your natural tooth enamel.
Dental veneers don’t require any additional maintenance.
They have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years with proper care.

Many types of veneers aren’t reversible.
Your teeth may become more sensitive to heat and cold.
It’s possible for a veneer to fall off or become dislodged.

TYPES OF TEETH WHITENING

Composite veneers
Composite veneers can conceal mild cosmetic issues. Your dentist uses a tooth-colored composite resin — the same material used for dental bonding — to achieve the desired results.

Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers can address a number of aesthetic imperfections. These restorations are custom-made to fit your dental anatomy. Before placement, your dentist must remove some enamel from your natural teeth. This roughens your teeth surfaces and helps your new veneers stay in place.

Porcelain veneers
No-prep or minimal-prep veneers are a less invasive option. Like traditional porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers are custom-made for your smile. However, they require less enamel removal than traditional veneers. It’s important to understand that no-prep veneers still require some enamel removal. No-prep veneers aren’t right for everyone. Ask your dentist if you’re a candidate.
BEFORE AND AFTER
What happens before dental veneer placement?
During your initial appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine if you’re eligible for veneers. If you’re a candidate, they’ll prepare your teeth by removing small amounts of enamel.
Next, they’ll take impressions of your teeth. A dental lab technician will use these impressions to make your custom veneers. (If you choose composite veneers, dental impressions aren’t needed.)
It can take a few weeks for the dental lab to complete your veneers. If necessary, your dentist can place temporary veneers in the meantime. Once the technician finishes your veneers, the lab will ship them to your dentist’s office.
What happens during veneer placement?

During a second office visit, your dentist will check the shape, color and fit of your veneers, then permanently bond them into place using dental cement. Finally, they’ll check your bite and make any necessary adjustments.

If you want to change something about your veneers, like the shape or color, let your dentist know. They’ll work with you and the dental laboratory to ensure that your results are satisfactory.

There’s no downtime following veneer placement. People who receive dental veneers can return to normal activities the same day. You can also eat or drink immediately after your appointment, as long as the anesthesia has worn off.
