Are veneers good for your teeth?
Are veneers good for your teeth? Porcelain veneers don’t harm your teeth in any way as long as you see a qualified cosmetic dentist like ours at Burkburnett Family Dental. The first step to providing our patients with veneers includes taking x-rays to make sure your teeth are healthy and free of tooth decay.
What are lumineers?
Typically made of thin porcelain material, they are used to cover up stained, discolored, or damaged teeth. Lumineers are a brand of veneer that are ultra-thin and durable, and faster to apply than regular veneers. Traditional veneers are usually about 0.5mm thick — Lumineers are 0.2mm thick.
Do veneers help sensitive teeth?
Veneers provide a layer of protection for your teeth, to prevent the discomfort of tooth sensitivity and protect the front of your teeth where the enamel is lacking.
How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
