Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You? A 5-Question Self-Check

Are veneers right for you?

Porcelain veneers are the fastest and least invasive cosmetic dental solution available today. But they are not the right fit for everyone.

The 5-question self-check

1. Are your teeth severely stained or yellowed, with no improvement from whitening?

→If yes: veneers are an ideal solution

2. Do you have small chips, minor fractures, or teeth with an unattractive shape?

→If yes: veneers can cover them completely

3. Do you have small gaps between your teeth (mild spacing)?

→If yes: veneers can close those gaps

4. Do your teeth have enough enamel?

→Important: veneers need a minimum amount of enamel to bond properly

5. Do you grind your teeth?

→If yes: the grinding needs to be treated first, because veneers can fracture

Veneers are NOT a good fit if:

• •Your teeth are severely misaligned (braces should come first)
• •Your enamel is too thin or significantly worn away
• •You have severe, uncontrolled teeth grinding
• •You have untreated tooth decay or gum disease

Come in for a consultation so your dentist can accurately assess your situation.
