FAQ

Veneers: Translucent and natural-looking. They require minimal tooth shaving and cover only the visible front part of the tooth. Best for healthy, intact teeth.
Crowns: Opaque and stronger. They require more shaving because they encompass the entire tooth. Best for cracked, severely decayed, or root-canal-treated teeth.

Veneers are ideal if your natural teeth are healthy and properly aligned but need aesthetic improvement. If you desire "uber-white" shades or have structural damage, Zirconium crowns might be a better alternative.

• Those with minor cosmetic concerns (chips, cracks, slight gaps)
• People with deep staining that professional whitening cannot fix
• Patients with sufficient tooth enamel and healthy gums
Note: If you grind your teeth (bruxism), you must address this with a nightguard first.

Options include: Metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), all-resin, all-ceramic, gold, Zirconium, and E-max.
Zirconium is currently the most preferred for aesthetics, while metal-ceramic is a cost-effective alternative for back teeth.

• Extensive damage or decay where fillings won't work
• To protect a tooth after a root canal
• To cover severely stained teeth caused by genetics or medication
• To reinforce teeth worn down by heavy grinding

The average lifespan is 15 years or more, depending on oral hygiene, material quality, and whether you grind your teeth.

Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and use a water flosser.
Avoid Habits: Do not bite hard objects (ice, nails, pens) or use teeth to open packages.
Diet: Limit sugary and acidic foods; rinse after drinking coffee or red wine.
Protection: Wear a custom nightguard if you suffer from bruxism.

No. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort. You might feel mild sensitivity for a few days after, but it is temporary.

The process takes approximately 7 days across four appointments:
1. Consultation, preparation, and impressions
2. Trial fitting
3. Permanent placement
4. Final checkup and occlusion (bite) adjustments

Stay calm and save the veneer. Do not try to glue it back yourself. Contact your dentist immediately and avoid chewing on that tooth until it is professionally reattached.
