Pros and Cons of Veneers

One procedure offered in cosmetic dentistry in Sarasota, FL, to restore your smile is veneers. Dr. Corey Warrenbrand of Warrenbrand Complete Dentistry offers veneers. Like other dental procedures, dental veneers have their pros and cons.

Pros of Dental Veneers

Natural Looking

Due to the materials that veneers are made from, they help to create a natural smile. Veneers will fit right in with the rest of your natural teeth, ensuring no one ever knows you’ve had cosmetic dental work done.  

Stain Resistant

Made from composite resin and porcelain, dental veneers are resistant to stains. Therefore, no matter how much coffee, wine, tea, or soda you drink, they won’t stain.

Durable and Long Lasting

Veneers are one of the most durable and longest-lasting forms of cosmetic dentistry procedures offered in Sarasota, FL. The average veneer can withstand day-to-day wear and last for many years. In fact, with proper care, you may still have the same veneer decades down the road.

Cons of Dental Veneers

Potential Damage

One issue with veneers is they can crack and chip, especially if you like to chew on ice, hard candy, or hard objects. These types of habits can drastically shorten the lifespan of your veneer.

Irreversible

For a veneer to be installed on the tooth, a thin layer of the enamel must be removed. Because of this, getting a veneer installed is an irreversible process. Tooth enamel can’t grow back like your hair.

May Cause Sensitivity

Due to the fact that some of the enamel must be removed, some people can experience sensitivity to hot and cold drinks and food. Usually, though, the tooth sensitivity is temporary, mild, or simply doesn’t even occur.
