Lets talk about the 5 biggest myths about veneers
Myth #1
- Veneers are big and bulky – veneers should actually be thin, custom made, and look natural from all angles.
Myth #2
- All veneers are bright white– the color for the veneers should be custom and can be as bright or as natural looking in color
Myth#3
- Veneers make your breath smell– When veneers are contoured properly, they’re easier to clean and don’t make your breath stink.
Myth#4
- Your teeth are ground down to nubs for veneers– veneers should be conservative and generally a minimal amount of tooth structure needs to be removed for veneers. There is a difference between veneers which cover the front and edges of the teeth and crowns that require more shaving and cover the whole tooth
Myth#5
- Veneers pop off.
If veneers are done correctly, there is a good bond between the tooth and the veneers, and the patient’s bite is right, they should not pop off.
