Common questions about porcelain veneers
Patients considering porcelain veneers and other aesthetic procedures at Artistry in Smiles may have many questions about them. Understanding these restorations recommended by the team at Artistry in Smiles of Los Banos, California, is the first step in deciding which ones are right for you.
Below are some of the more commonly asked questions about porcelain veneers.
Do porcelain veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers will remain white and attractive as long as patients are mindful of keeping them clean and protecting them from damage. While some patients may cover imperfections with composite resin bonding, they are advised that this material will stain sooner than porcelain veneers, which are not as porous and susceptible to discoloration. When considering composite bonding versus veneers for covering imperfections of the smile, you may want to ask how you can protect the teeth from stains and breakage.
How long will porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers that are cared for properly will often last a decade or more. During a consultation visit with our dentists, patients can find out if they are a good candidate for veneers. Having conditions such as bruxism, which causes clenching and grinding of the teeth, can impact the longevity of veneers, so these individuals may want to consider using an oral appliance to protect their veneers from damage.
