They can create a flawless smile to be proud of, but you must sacrifice some enamel. It&#8217;s normal to have concerns about tooth sensitivity from removing enamel, but there&#8217;s no reason to worry. Veneers can even help patients with a history of sensitive teeth.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Process of Getting Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A veneer is a thin shell that&#8217;s applied to the front surface of a tooth to cover various imperfections, like chips and stains. Bonding veneers to the teeth that show when smiling can correct many imperfections at once. This provides a cost-effective solution that can last for a decade or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cosmetic dentist must etch the surfaces of your teeth to ensure your veneers sit flush for a strong bonding surface. This does not harm the health of your teeth, but enamel does not grow back, even if your veneers are removed. Therefore, they must always be covered by restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veneers and Tooth Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist may recommend veneers if you have enamel loss. A veneer provides a layer over your tooth to protect it from uncomfortable sensations. There will be a barrier between foods and drinks to avoid sensitivity caused by heat or cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have a history of tooth sensitivity or you want to invest in the smile of your dreams, veneers offer many benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minimally Invasive:<\/strong> The minimally invasive treatment offers little to no discomfort and can be completed in just two appointments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatile:<\/strong> You can treat several issues at once to save time and money because you won&#8217;t need multiple procedures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long-Lasting:<\/strong> A veneer can last for 10 years or longer with the right care, like brushing and flossing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Realistic Results:<\/strong> Your veneers will look and feel just like your natural teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are a safe and effective solution to improve your smile and even your quality of life. You can have a picture-perfect smile to be proud of without worrying about your morning cup of coffee triggering sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Joe Ornelas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ornelasfamilydentistry.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Ornelas<\/a> earned his dental degree at the Indiana University School of Dentistry.
