Porcelain veneers have been the rage all over
the United States for the past several years and Encino has been no
different. As a result there are countless dentists in the area that
perform this procedure. It is one of the most sought after cosmetic
dental procedures. So it is not hard to get porcelain veneers in Encino,
nor is it extremely expensive. This procedure is usually performed by
cosmetic dentists. If you are thinking of getting porcelain veneers in
Encino there are some things that you must know before undergoing the
procedure. The dentist should discuss all of these with you before
applying them, but it is good to know as much as you can before a
consultation so that the dentist can answer whatever questions that you
have.
Porcelain veneers in Encino are used to treat all manner of dental
disorders. They will not improve the health of the teeth, but they do
make them and the gums look better. If well done these look very
natural. Though this may seem like a miracle solution for people with
gap, crooked and uneven teeth, there are some disadvantages to porcelain
veneers. Firstly, in order to be applied some of the surface of the
teeth has to be removed. As a result, one will have to wear veneers
forever as the natural teeth will no longer look the same. The surface
of the teeth does not grow back. So getting porcelain veneers is a
lifelong commitment, which means further expenses in future to have
these repaired if they break, chip or no longer look good.
During the consultation the dentist should discuss with the client
how much of the teeth’s surface has to be removed so that the client can
decide whether or not they are prepared to proceed with the procedure.
If the procedure requires more than one sitting, one will have to wear
temporary veneers. This can cause sensitivity while being worn. However,
for some people this is a small price to pay. In some instances people
struggle to pronounce certain words and / or letters if there is drastic
change to the structure of their teeth. Some people especially struggle
with the Alphabets ‘S’ and ‘F’. But, this problem can be easily
resolved through another visit to the dentist.
In addition, there are cases where the veneers have different shades
of white, but this is never extremely noticeable. Another disadvantage
or porcelain veneers is that they can be damaged. They can break, come
loose or chip. It is advised that people who grind their teeth not to
get these unless they wear mouth guards when going to sleep at night.
Unfortunately, with the possible damage come the resultant repair costs
that are often unplanned and unexpected.
