1. Enhanced Aesthetics: Veneers can completely transform your smile, giving you a straighter, whiter, and more symmetrical appearance. With veneers, you can correct imperfections and achieve the smile you've always wanted.
2. Long-lasting Results: Veneers are made from durable materials that are designed to withstand daily wear and tear. With proper care, veneers can last for many years, providing you with a long-lasting solution for your dental concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do Veneers Last?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
The longevity of veneers can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of veneers you choose, your oral hygiene habits, and your overall dental health. On average, you can expect high-quality porcelain veneers to last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. Some may even last up to 20 years or longer with proper care.
However, it's important to remember that veneers aren't invincible. They can chip or crack if subjected to excessive pressure or trauma, just like your natural teeth. Regular check-ups with Dr. Frei or Dr. Thomas can help ensure your veneers stay in top shape for as long as possible.
What Happens To Teeth Under Veneers?
To place a veneer, a small amount of the original tooth enamel must be removed. This is done to create room for the veneer to fit seamlessly in your mouth and mimic the natural look of your teeth.
Once the enamel is removed, it doesn't grow back. This means that the tooth will always need to be protected with a veneer or crown. The veneer is then bonded to the front of your tooth, providing a new surface that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
It's important to note that the tooth underneath the veneer can still experience decay if not properly cared for. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are crucial to maintaining the health of your veneered teeth.
Do People With Veneers Still Get Cavities?
The answer is yes, teeth with veneers can still get cavities. While veneers themselves cannot decay, the tooth structure underneath them can.
Veneers cover the front surface of your teeth, but the back and sides are still exposed to bacteria and plaque. If these areas are not cleaned properly, decay can develop, leading to cavities. That's why maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are as important for people with veneers as they are for those without.
Plus, the margins where the veneers meet the natural tooth structure can be susceptible to decay if not properly sealed. This is because these areas can trap food particles and bacteria, increasing the risk of cavities. Regular professional cleanings and check-ups with your dentist can help identify and address any potential issues before they become significant problems.
It's also important to note that while veneers are durable, they are not indestructible. Habits like biting on hard objects, grinding your teeth, or consuming excessive amounts of sugary or acidic foods and drinks can damage your veneers and increase your risk of developing cavities in the underlying tooth structure.
Are Veneers Real Or Fake Teeth?
Veneers are not artificial teeth, but rather thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your natural teeth. They are custom-made to fit each individual tooth and are designed to improve the appearance of your smile by altering the color, shape, size, or length of your teeth.
While veneers create the illusion of perfect teeth, they are attached to your real teeth. They are a cosmetic solution that allows you to keep your natural teeth while enhancing your smile.
At Roots Dental, Dr. Bill Frei, Dr. Stephen Thomas, and their team are dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you've always wanted. Whether you're considering veneers or have questions about other cosmetic dentistry options, we're here to help.
