By choosing a qualified dentist with experience, you can help ensure a safe dental veneers procedure with predictable results. However, there are some risks that can be magnified by choosing a dentist with a less than ideal reputation. This review discusses the risks of undergoing a dental veneers placement procedure.
Side effects of dental veneers are rare. When they do occur, the dentist can often easily resolve the issue without long-term complications. The most notable risks of a dental veneers procedure include increased tooth sensitivity and an improper fit. Long-term, the patient may have an increased risk of teeth stains or a chipped tooth, which can both be prevented by smart oral hygiene choices.
The dental veneers procedure involves removing a small amount of dental enamel. This allows for more room for the veneer to be placed. Almost every patient does not notice the difference. However, if the dental veneer is not placed correctly and the underlying natural tooth is exposed, then it could cause some tooth sensitivity.
Dentists can help ensure the proper feel and fit of dental veneers by taking a dental impression and customizing the veneers in a laboratory. However, there are some instances where the feel and fit of the dental veneer are not ideal. In this case, the patient can notify the dentist and they can make the necessary adjustments and reposition the veneer. Keep in mind, however, it can take several days to get used to the new feel of the veneers.
After dental veneers placement, the patient may develop teeth stains if they do not care for their teeth properly and limit the consumption of foods and drinks that can cause stains, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, and tomato-based dishes. Regular cleaning at the dentist can also help reduce the risk of stains on dental veneers and natural teeth.
The porcelain material used for dental veneers is not as strong as metal crowns. This is why they are typically recommended for the visible surface of front teeth, rather than the chewing surface of molars. While veneers are durable and strong and can last for more than a decade, they are vulnerable to chips if excess pressure is placed upon them.
Patients can lower the risk of complications with their dental veneers by choosing a reputable and licensed dentist. Good oral hygiene is also essential to preventing complications long-term. The dentist should provide aftercare instructions that the patient should follow closely. Regular check-up visits with the dentist are also important.
