Quiz: Making Cosmetic Changes With Porcelain Veneers

If you are thinking about making improvements to your smile, you may be curious about what kinds of changes a cosmetic dental treatment can make. Different patients will have different issues with their appearance, and the best results can be a matter of finding the right procedure. That being said, porcelain veneers offer big changes, and can help many patients make big improvements to how they look. During a consultation, you can talk to your dentist about the improvements you would like to make, and learn how veneers, or any other cosmetic treatment, can help.

Questions:

True Or False: If you are looking for a way to address intrinsic discoloration, you can use porcelain veneers, or a teeth whitening treatment, as both will work equally well to address the problem.

True Or False: Porcelain veneers cannot be placed over a dental crown.

True Or False: With veneers in place, you can cover up wear and tear on teeth, congenital flaws, and even some spacing and overlap concerns.

Answers:

False! Professional whitening agents can be ineffective against intrinsic discoloration, but veneers are capable of improving your smile if you are dealing with this problem.

True! You will not be able to place veneers over a dental crown. If you are bothered by the appearance of your dental crown, you can discuss an alternative solution with your dentist.

True! Veneers offer striking improvements, because they are able to cover up so many different issues. Many people are able to use this single procedure to effectively make over their smile. That being said, when it comes to overlaps and spacing issues, not everyone will benefit from veneers. Your dentist can let you know if you qualify for this approach.
