Answer Key
- True. Veneers are very thin shells of porcelain, a stain-resistant and strong material that can be shaded to blend with your smile. We remove a thin layer of tooth enamel, take detailed impressions, and then place the completed restoration over the front of the teeth, changing the appearance of the smile completely.
- True. The minimal prep veneer is incredibly thin, so much so that we don’t have to actually remove any tooth enamel to make room for them. For patients interested in preserving tooth structure, this is a much referable option.
- True. We can mask teeth stains, correct the appearance of misalignment, repair damaged or malformed teeth, and lengthen worn down teeth. We can also close gaps between your teeth.
- True. You simply need to care for them as you would your natural teeth. In short, you need to brush your teeth twice a day, floss every night before bed, and schedule a checkup and dental cleaning every six months. Doing so can not only keep your smile healthy, but ensure your restoration remains bright.
