Porcelain veneers are a fantastic option for dental patients to dramatically enhance the look of an imperfect smile. Utilizing thin shells of porcelain that are bonded directly onto the surface of your teeth, porcelain veneers create the look of perfectly even, white teeth.
If you are considering porcelain veneers to treat your dental imperfections, there are some questions to ask your dentist before you begin:

• Do you consider me to be a good candidate for porcelain veneers?
• Can I see an example of how my completed veneers will look?
• How will you choose the color of my veneers?
• How long will the placement of my veneers take to complete?
• Can you explain how my natural teeth will be altered or affected by the placement of porcelain veneers?
• What is the process for placing the veneers?
• Are there any risks or complications related to dental veneers?
• Will you provide aftercare instructions for my porcelain veneers?
• What kind of follow-up is necessary once my veneers have been placed?
• Will my lifestyle be altered in any way after the placement of veneers?
• What is the average lifespan of porcelain veneers?
• What could cause my veneers to need to be replaced in the future, and what does that involve?

An experienced dentist should be able to provide answers to these questions, which will help you to proceed with the placement of your veneers with confidence. Knowing what to expect before, during, and after your procedure will help you to avoid unwelcome surprises and give you better chances for a beautiful new smile.
