Dental veneers are one of the most popular dental restoration options since they can restore your smile, and they are much less invasive than dental crowns. However, there are some downsides our expert in
veneers in Beverly Hills will inform you about before you begin the procedure.
Dental veneers are not a good choice for people who have a tendency to clench or grind their teeth. Perpetual grinding could cause your veneers to wear down and ultimately break. If you do grind your teeth and want dental veneers, our dentist may prescribe you a mouth guard to wear while you sleep so that you can protect your veneers.
Another aspect of veneers that many patients ask about is that they do require a small portion, usually about 0.5mm, of enamel to be removed in order to fit properly. This makes veneers a permanent restoration, and if your veneers ever fail, you will need to get them replaced. Otherwise, you could experience severe sensitivity and pain. Your veneers are still prone to damage and decay, and most patients need to get their veneers replaced no matter what in 10 to 20 years. If you have any questions or concerns about veneers, feel free to talk with our dentist.
