Veneers are more than just a cosmetic upgrade—they’re a confidence booster, a long-term investment, and a popular choice for patients who want a flawless, natural-looking smile. But not everyone is the perfect fit for traditional veneers.
At Dentherion, we offer personalized consultations to determine if porcelain veneers are right for you. In the meantime, here’s how to assess your candidacy.
💠 What Are Traditional Veneers?
Traditional veneers are thin shells of medical-grade porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They’re custom-crafted to correct issues like:
- Discoloration or stains that don’t respond to whitening
- Chipped, broken, or worn-down teeth
- Uneven tooth size or shape
- Small gaps between teeth
- Mild misalignment
✅ You Might Be a Good Candidate If:
1. Your Teeth Are Structurally Healthy
Veneers are cosmetic, so the underlying tooth must be free from decay or severe damage.
2. You Have Good Oral Hygiene
Healthy gums and a commitment to daily care are essential for long-lasting veneers.
3. You Don’t Clench or Grind Your Teeth Excessively
Bruxism (teeth grinding) can damage veneers. If you grind at night, you may need a custom nightguard.
4. Your Cosmetic Goals Are Realistic
Veneers can dramatically enhance your smile—but they can’t replace orthodontic treatment for major alignment issues.
5. You’re Okay with Irreversible Treatment
Traditional veneers require slight enamel removal. This means the procedure is not reversible, and maintenance is lifelong.
🚫 Who Might Not Be a Good Candidate?
Individuals with active gum disease or untreated cavities
Patients with severe teeth grinding (without protection)
Those seeking a fully reversible option (consider no-prep veneers or whitening instead)
Teeth that are too severely misaligned for veneers to mask effectively
