In this article, we’ll break down to you some talked about misconceptions about Porcelain Veneers.

1. The Procedure is Painful

The application of porcelain veneers is a painless procedure. Veneers are applied after the patient is given local anesthetic. The preparations and applications of veers are generally pain free.

2. You Only Need Veneers on Your Front Teeth

Porcelain Veneers are commonly being applied on the most visible parts of the teeth, specifically the front of the six teeth. They can also be applied to the pre-molars and molars and even to the less visible bottom teeth.

3. The Entire Tooth Will Be Filed Down

This is the biggest misconception that scares people and is far from truth. Only a very thin layer of the enamel is being filed, but it is very minimal to be noticed. Teeth filing is done so that the veneers will lay flat on the surface of the teeth without sticking out.

4. Veneers Look Unnatural

In early ages, veneers were bulkier and thicker. They tend to have an unnatural shine and some of them were just too white to look like natural teeth. With today’s modern time, many improvements have been made as technology progressed.

5. Porcelain Veneers Will Make Your Teeth Sensitive

Permanent veneers do not cause sensitivity, if there is, it will be minimal and will gradually go away within a few weeks. If you are suffering from sensitivity because of thinning enamel, the veneers may improve the situation.

 

Porcelain Veneers are a great solution not just for cosmetic dental problems, but it can help other oral health issues. If your teeth are discolored, chipped, crooked, or stained, they can be corrected through Porcelain Laminate Veneers.

“Good location and the clinic was very clean and posh – not your typical / traditional dental clinic so doesn’t look intimidating 🙂 Instruments and equipment were very clean and modern too – and you can watch Netflix during your procedure.”

“I had been interested in porcelain veneers for years but was always apprehensive of the cost here in the US. When I knew I’d be back in the Philippines for a few weeks in Feb 2023, I started searching for top cosmetic dentists in the BGC area. I found Elevate and I’m so happy I did. I booked my consultation prior to my trip and then booked subsequent appointments during my consultation and now – I couldn’t be happier with my new smile 😃.”
