Will Ceramic Veneers Weaken My Teeth?

A common concern about ceramic veneers is whether they compromise the strength of your natural teeth. The short answer is no. In fact, veneers can actually enhance the durability of your teeth.

When a dentist prepares your teeth for veneers, a minimal amount of enamel is removed. This is essential for achieving a seamless fit and ensuring the veneer adheres properly. However, the majority of your tooth structure remains intact. Think of it as creating a smooth canvas for the veneer to bond to.

Once the veneer is placed, it acts as a protective layer, shielding your teeth from everyday wear and tear. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with teeth that are prone to chipping or cracking. Additionally, veneers can mask imperfections like discoloration or gaps, creating a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile without sacrificing tooth strength.

So, not only do ceramic veneers offer a cosmetic enhancement, but they also contribute to the overall health and longevity of your teeth.

The Veneer Procedure

Getting ceramic veneers typically involves two dental appointments.

Appointment 1: Preparation

• Consultation: Your dentist will discuss your goals and expectations for your smile.
• Shade selection: The color of your desired veneers will be chosen.
• Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneers. This is usually less than a millimeter.
• Impression: An impression of your teeth is taken to create a precise model for the dental lab.
• Temporary veneers: Temporary veneers might be placed to protect your teeth while the permanent ones are being made.

Appointment 2: Bonding

• Removal of temporaries: The temporary veneers are removed.
• Veneer placement: The permanent veneers are tried on, adjusted, and bonded to your teeth using a special cement.
• Final adjustments: Any necessary refinements are made.
