Do Veneers Damage Your Natural Teeth? What you need To Know

Are you looking for a way to address chips, cracks, and blemishes? If so, veneers can help you. Many people enjoy porcelain overlays and veneers because they are versatile, effective, and easy to apply. On the other hand, do veneers damage your natural teeth? Complete Health Dentistry SoCal in Poway, California, can help you find out! There are a few important points to know. 

Porcelain Overlays for Teeth Process

Once you and your dentist have decided that veneers are suitable for you, your dentist will prepare your teeth for the veneers by shaving off a slight amount of the dental enamel so that the veneers fit snugly over your teeth. Dr. Rappaport will take 3D images of your teeth using an intraoral camera, and then using our CEREC computer software; she will design your veneers. The models are then sent to the in-house milling machine to create customized veneers.

The completed veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth to create a beautiful smile to finish off the process. All this is achieved in a single appointment at our office while you wait.

Furthermore, veneers are designed to protect your teeth from future damage; however, you must make sure you take care of your oral hygiene. Otherwise, you can suffer from oral decay occurring beneath the veneers. You might not notice it for a while because the veneers conceal it, so you need to continue to have regular appointments with the dentist.

There are many significant benefits you will enjoy if you decide to go with porcelain veneers for your teeth:

• Veneers look natural. They can give you the smile you have always desired, increasing your self-confidence
