Who is qualified to receive porcelain veneers?
Because dental veneers are largely a cosmetic procedure, most people with healthy teeth and gums can receive them. Our experienced team at Washington Center for Dentistry is happy to perform an oral health evaluation before moving forward with treatment.
Ideal candidates for veneers have problems such as stains and discoloration, chips, gaps and cracks in their teeth, misaligned teeth, or teeth with uneven edges. If you have existing oral health concerns, we may need to address these issues before veneers can be applied.
Are dental veneers the best option for cosmetic dentistry?
We believe porcelain veneers are one the best options for many reasons. Our dedicated ceramists use the finest-grade porcelains to create veneers that look and feel natural, unlike assembly-line products you might find elsewhere. Each veneer is custom-crafted to fit each individual tooth and blend in with the rest of your smile. Veneers are also stain-resistant and require minimal maintenance compared to other cosmetic dentistry treatments.
How long do porcelain veneers last on average?
Our trained dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry can provide an accurate estimate of how long your veneers may last during a consultation in Washington, D.C. However, most dental appliances are expected to last 10 – 20 years. This timeline varies based on the following factors:
- Your oral health and personal hygiene habits
- Whether you attend regular dental checkups and cleanings
- The amount of force applied to your veneers through diet, habits, etc.
- How well you follow any pre-and-post-treatment instructions
How to extend the life of your veneers
There are several ways to make your veneers last for as long as possible. Here are some of our top recommendations:
- Brush and floss your teeth on a regular basis (day and night)
- Attend regular checkups and cleanings at Washington Center for Dentistry
- Avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking or chewing on hard objects like ice cubes and pencils
It is possible for dental veneers to become damaged due to poor oral health or trauma to the mouth. If this occurs, do not hesitate to contact Washington Center for Dentistry.
