Veneer planning begins with an assessment of your teeth, gums and bite. Existing decay or gum disease may require treatment first.
Tooth preparation can be irreversible. Potential risks include sensitivity, nerve inflammation, later root canal treatment, gum changes, chipping, fracture or debonding.
Temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness may occur. Follow aftercare instructions and contact your dentist if symptoms persist or the bite feels uncomfortable.
Veneers need daily cleaning and ongoing reviews. A protective appliance may be recommended for some patients.
