Am I old enough for veneers?+
Suitability comes down to the assessment more than a birthday. The clinic can explain how your dental development, your enamel and your goals bear on the decision, so raise any concern about timing.
How many times might I have them replaced in my life?+
Nobody can predict a number. Bite, grinding, preparation, bonding quality, hygiene and accidents all play a part, though a longer time frame does make replacement more likely.
If I change my mind in ten years, can I go back?+
Where enamel has been prepared, that tooth will continue needing a restoration. Removing a veneer would mean discussing what replaces it, which is why this question belongs at the start.
Can I wait a while and still get veneers later?+
In general, holding off does not close the door, provided your teeth stay healthy. Ask whether any part of your situation has a real reason to be dealt with sooner.
My teeth seem fine but I want a whiter smile. Are veneers overkill?+
They may be. Whitening is the usual first thought for brightening natural teeth, and it does not involve shaping enamel. Have the two compared against your actual shade goal.
I play a contact sport. Does that change things?+
It is worth mentioning, as trauma is one of the things that influences how long a veneer lasts. You can ask what protection your dentist would suggest for your front teeth.
I live in Highland Pointe and am not ready to decide. Can I still book?+
Yes, a visit does not commit you to treatment. Request one at our McPhillips Street clinic through this page or at (204) 338-3003, and note that you are still deciding.
