In today’s world, there are a wide variety of dental procedures available to restore and improve your smile. One popular option is Boise dental veneers. Simply put, veneers are thin porcelain shells that are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth, giving them a perfect appearance.
Are you interested in getting porcelain veneers to whiten your teeth? Do you have chipped or broken teeth and want to restore the look of your smile? Dental veneers might be an ideal solution for you. However, before you take the plunge and ask your Boise dentist about getting this procedure, there are a few important things to keep in mind.
In order to apply veneers, your dentist will need to remove some of the outer enamel of your natural teeth. Once in place, veneers are permanent. That’s why it’s important to research a dental professional who specializes in porcelain veneers. You’ll also want to make sure they have plenty of experience along with good reviews from other patients.
It’s just as important to ask your dentist about all the materials they plan on using and how long you should anticipate the veneers will last. You’ll also want to be honest about any issues you are currently experiencing like sensitivity or clenching or grinding your teeth. Your dentist will want to ensure you are the right candidate for the procedure and part of that involves checking your overall dental health. This includes whether you have tooth decay or gum disease that should be addressed first.
While veneers are a long-lasting dental procedure, they will experience wear and tear over time. Eventually, your dentist will have to repair or replace them. Therefore, this is something important to consider. Porcelain veneers typically last between 7-15 years.
The cost of dental veneers will vary depending on a few factors like how many teeth they will be applied to and which dental professional you choose. However, it’s important to keep in mind that veneers are often more expensive than other dental procedures. A good rule of thumb is to ask your dentist if there will be any additional costs that will be applied to your bill before and after your procedure is done.
It’s important to be aware that you may experience some level of tooth and gum sensitivity after your veneers are put into place. While your teeth will look great right away, it may take a few days to get used to them and for sensitivity to subside.
As a great alternative to crowns and bonding, veneers are easy to clean and care for with regular brushing, flossing, and bi-annual visits to your Boise dentist.
