Of course, our answer is an easy one: Ask our Ankeny, IA team, so we can help you feel absolutely wonderful about selecting porcelain veneers for your smile! Today? We’re got some “nope” answers ready to go!
Won’t Veneers Shatter Easily?
Nope! We always want to remind patients that though the idea of porcelain veneers may conjure up all sorts of ideas of delicate dental work, the truth is that they’re very sturdy. Remember, though they’re made of ceramic, they are constructed in a strategic way and with multiple, very thin layers, so they can withstand daily wear and tear, as well as the pressure from speaking, eating, and more. Have questions about how veneers work? Just let us know when we see you next.
Won’t Veneers Stain Right Away?
Nope! Porcelain veneers, like your natural teeth or a dental crown or anything else, can stain. However, they’re not going to stain the instant you eat something that may lead to discoloration. Like other surfaces, though, they can stain over time. So, we remind you, it’s to your advantage to limit staining food and to try to rinse after eating them (and to keep up with dental care at home and with our team), so your smile remains clean and, as a result, bright!
Don’t They Wear Out Quickly?
Nope! We realize that one of your fears may be the fact that your smile is going to look exceptional immediately after the placement of porcelain veneers but you worry this won’t last long. The wonderful news is that as long as you’re keeping your smile safe with the care we suggest, then your veneers are going to continue offering you the beautiful smile you can achieve with them for years and years! They’re certainly resilient.
Aren’t They Only For Really Serious Discoloration?
Nope! Of course, you may wish to select porcelain veneers if you have some serious discoloration that’s difficult to treat with other types of cosmetic care. However, this isn’t the only reason they’re offered. You can also select them for any other particularly trying esthetic concern or when you have multiple problems you hope to address.
