Anyone here had porcelain veneers for cosmetic reasons? ie - crooked, gaps, erroded tooth or simply just to have perfect teeth!? if so, how did you feel after when it was done? was you pleased with the results? did it look as good as what you exptected..or better!?
Cosmetic Dentisty?
There is a direct parallel between the integrity of cosmetic dentistry and the skill/ethics of the provider of cosmetic dentistry.
This means you must select your provider CAREFULLY.
When done with care and precision, the results are long-lasting and gorgeous.
When done by someone with little skill or ethics, the results can be horrific. By horrific, I mean:
- it can chip
- it can fall off over and over and over
- it can be cosmetically inferior
- the color can be way off
- the contours can be way off
- it might not be seated properly under the gumline
- the transition from porcelain to tooth is not smooth therefore you can't floss or brush it properly and you get stain, decay and gum disease
- rough edges promote gum disease and bone loss
- poor contacts promote food impaction, gum disease and decay
- care was not taken to ensure the work did not impose on teeth in the opposing arch
- etc., etc., I have seen it ALL and MORE!!!
