Myth 1 Are dental Veneers Noticeable?
Can my friends and family remembers notice it? This is one of a treatment philosophies which is highly discrete and inconspicuous, that is, it is completely customizable and the size, shape , colour, thickness the layering, everything is customizable when it comes to a veneer and it can be camouflaged or blended with the remaining teeth so that one cannot make put as to whether the patient is wearing veneers.
Myth 2Do you need to cut a lot of tooth?
The second myth is to fix the veneer we need to cut down the entire tooth or file a lot of tooth structure. That is not true. To a certain extent we have to do a tooth preparation, called as veneer preparation, but that is very minimal. The amount of tooth reduction that is done is 0.3 to 0.4 mm of the tooth of the enamel, the top most layer that is removed and that amounts to about 30% or 35% of a millimeter. So hardly any layer of the tooth is removed and an ultrathin veneer can be fabricated which can be fixed, which is strong enough to take the load of biting. So when it come to whether a lot of tooth structure is to be sacrificed, then no. It doesn’t need to be sacrificed.
Myth 3 Veneers are used only for Cosmetic Reasons?
This is a myth because veneers can be used for restorative purpose also. In addition to giving a cosmetic boost, it can take you a long way in terms of restorative needs. Whenever someone has severely discolored teeth or cracks or chips on the tooth surface, then this can be blended or covered with the help of veneers . In cases where we need to raise the bite in the molar region. So veneers can be sued to improve the molar regions also. It can also be used to improve the bite and they can also be used to improve the worn down teeth, front or back teeth.
Myth 4 Veneer preparation is a painful process?
This is not true. In today’s times, almost none of the procedures in dentistry are not painful any more because it is a minimally invasive kind of a procedure, where there is hardly any layer of the tooth that is removed. If the patient is extra sensitivitie about the pain, we give them an anesthetic and they do not get to know a thing about what the procedure is happening to them and they are usually comfortable.
Myth 5 Veneers are high Maintenance.
Your natural teeth are high maintenance structures. One needs to follow a religious regime in properly having to clean all your natural teeth and the same goes for veneers also. The kind of care you provide to your natural dentition, that will determine how your natural dentition is and how the veneers are in your mouth. So it is not high maintenance , the way your brush your teeth, similar way you have to maintain the veneers also, there are special tooth pastes available for veneers but you can use the regular tooth paste with lesser amount of calcium carbonate to maintain the glossy appearance and the veneers thy come with a 10 year or 15 years warranty. After that it is good to replace them. So even if you maintain it really well. So the load of mastication may affect the veneers if it is not of good quality .
So most of these things are myths and veneers are a very good alternative for smile designing.
