Who Can Benefit from Cosmetic Veneers?

At the office of Matthew Wallengren, DDS, in Baltimore, Maryland, veneers are one of our many specialties. Dr. Matthew Wallengren answers your questions about veneers below to help you decide if they’re right for you.
What are dental veneers?
Veneers are thin, cosmetic overlays bonded to the surface of imperfect teeth to improve their appearance. Made of porcelain or resin material, cosmetic teeth veneers alter your teeth’ color, size, and shape to make your smile appear more uniform and pleasing.
Who can benefit from cosmetic veneers?
Veneers are often a great choice for people wanting to correct minor tooth flaws they find displeasing, such as tooth discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven. With veneers, odd-sized and misshapen teeth can appear more uniform and pleasing. Through veneer treatment, Dr. Wallengren can make your smile brighter, straighter, fuller, and healthier in just a few dental visits.
What’s the process for getting porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are custom-made to enhance teeth in size, shape, and color. They’re bonded onto the surface of your teeth after a thin layer of enamel is removed. Dr. Wallengren will design your smile to create the shape and proportions that fit your smile. By designing from the end result first, Dr Wallengren will use this final design to reshape the existing tooth structure only as much as necessary before sending your case to his Master Ceramist, who creates your veneers. When your restorations are ready, we’ll place them over your teeth and bond them in place. Porcelain veneers will give your smile renewed beauty.

Why should I get veneers?
Veneers conceal imperfections in your smile that you find displeasing. They’re custom-designed to look just like your natural teeth and will dramatically improve your smile’s appearance. Porcelain veneers are strong and long-lasting, giving your teeth extra protection against chipping or cracking in the future. Your pearly whites will look and feel healthier and stronger. Dr. Wallengren will personalize your treatment to bring out the best in your smile. Most importantly, you’ll have a smile you’ll love!
Do veneers last a lifetime?
No, porcelain veneers won’t last a lifetime. With good oral care, however, they can have an extensive lifespan of up to 20 years. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and will retain their attractive appearance long-term, with proper care. Although porcelain is quite durable, it’s not indestructible. To protect your veneers from premature damage, avoid hard foods and habits like chewing on ice and using your teeth like tools.
Is the veneer process reversible?
No. Since the procedure requires removing tooth enamel to place veneers, it’s an irreversible treatment.
Is getting veneers painful?
No. Most people find the procedure comfortable. Dr. Wallengren uses a mild local anesthetic to keep you at ease throughout your procedure.
