Dental veneers are the best option for repairing crooked, worn or stained front teeth, and for the filling of any uneven gaps or large spaces.
Dr. Jeff Lewis and the oral healthcare professional team, located near you in the 77057 area code of Houston, Texas, want to educate their patients, current and new, on the choices and types of veneers for the front teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
This type of veneer is a customized thin coating that covers the tooth. The benefits of porcelain are its resistance to stains and its durability. Porcelain veneers look more natural than the composite resin veneers.
Composite Resin Veneers
Unlike the porcelain veneers that coat the teeth, composite resin veneers attach to the teeth. The main benefits of the resin veneer may be its affordability when compared to the porcelain veneer. There are fewer follow-up appointments required after the application of resin veneers, and they are easily fixed or repaired should they become damaged.
Are Veneers Right for You?
A patient needs to understand that, once the enamel is removed, the process is not reversible. Dental veneers may not be the best option for those who grind their teeth, unless a plastic guard is worn at night.
Your dentist will need to treat all issues relating to your teeth and gums before any veneer is applied.
After the Veneer Procedure
Veneers on the front teeth are prone to chipping under pressure. Your dentist will give care instructions, and any food restrictions, specific to front feet veneers.
After the few days it will take for you to adjust to a veneer, maintaining the veneer is much like your natural teeth. You must continue to practice effective oral hygiene, become more diligent about brushing and flossing, and continue to see your dentist regularly.
