Porcelain veneers

Frequently Asked Questions about Veneers

How long does the process of getting porcelain veneers take?

The process generally involves two visits after the initial consultation. During the first visit, your teeth are prepared and impressions are taken. The veneers are then fabricated in our dental lab. At your second visit, we bond the precisely fabricated veneers to your teeth.

Can veneers fix crooked teeth?

Porcelain veneers can be an excellent solution for improving the appearance of mildly crooked teeth. They essentially cover the front of your teeth, providing a straight and aligned look. However, for significantly misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment may be necessary.

Are porcelain veneers permanent?

Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic dentistry solution because they require a small amount of enamel to be removed from your natural teeth. However, the veneers themselves may need to be replaced after 10-15 years or more with proper care.

How do I care for my porcelain veneers?

Care for your veneers just as you would your natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. It’s also advised to avoid chewing on hard objects to prevent damaging your veneers.

Can porcelain veneers stain?

Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains, which means they will not discolor like natural teeth. However, the natural teeth around the veneers can still stain, so consistent oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings are important.

Do porcelain veneers hurt?

The process of getting porcelain veneers is generally not painful, especially under the expert care of Dr. Shahrad Shahrooz. We make use of numbing agents to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Some sensitivity may occur following the treatment, which is normal and usually subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the new veneers.

Warranty Coverage of Porcelain Veneers

At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, we stand behind the quality of our work and offer a warranty on our porcelain veneers. Our warranty generally covers any issues related to the craftsmanship of the veneers, such as unexpected cracking or delamination, that might occur under normal use within the warranty period.

However, there are certain conditions that our warranty does not cover. Damage caused by external factors, such as accidents or trauma, is typically not covered. Similarly, damage resulting from behaviors like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects is not included in the warranty. Furthermore, failure to follow recommended dental care guidelines, like regular dental check-ups and cleanings, or not using a protective nightguard if prescribed, can potentially void the warranty.

We strongly believe in patient education and transparency. Therefore, during your consultation and treatment planning sessions, we will clearly explain what is covered and what is not under our veneer warranty, so you can make an informed decision and maintain your new beautiful smile for years to come.
