Questions About Dental Veneers

Chesterfield and St. Louis, Missouri

Will my new dental veneers be obvious when I smile?

While a smile improvement will be noticeable, porcelain veneers usually provide a subtle change. Porcelain possesses some of the qualities of tooth enamel, so your new veneers will appear very natural.

Are porcelain veneers susceptible to chips or breaks?

Porcelain on its own is a fragile material; however, when bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, these porcelain shells become extremely strong and durable. Remember to treat your dental veneers with the same caution that you do your natural teeth. Avoid chewing on especially hard foods, since anything that can damage tooth enamel may damage your porcelain veneers as well.

What problems can porcelain veneers correct?

Customized porcelain veneers from Chesterfield Valley Dental Group can be used to treat a variety of tooth problems, including:

  • Worn teeth
  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Chips or cracks
  • Tooth gaps
  • Uneven spacing
  • Broken teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Oddly-shaped teeth

How long will my dental veneers last?

Because we use very high quality porcelain and our design process is managed by skilled professionals, the dental veneers we place are very dependable. Assuming you take good care of your porcelain veneers (avoid foods that may chip or crack them and keep up with regular brushing and flossing), you can enjoy this attractive treatment for many years or even decades.

How much do porcelain veneers cost?

Porcelain veneers are a personalized procedure, and the craftsmanship that goes into each veneer is highly specialized. We only use the best porcelain available which increases the overall cost a bit but ensures superior, long lasting results.
