In order to receive veneers, it is necessary to have a healthy mouth and be free of any significant oral health issues such as tooth decay or gum disease. An appointment with Dr. Salman Khanani at our office is required to determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment.

It is important to understand that while veneers are effective for addressing cosmetic concerns with your teeth, they are not a solution for restoring broken or damaged teeth, nor can they be applied to teeth with cavities. Veneers may be a viable option for minor issues like uneven or slightly crooked teeth, but they are not a replacement for orthodontic treatment. If you have significant orthodontic issues, you may need braces or clear aligners before getting veneers at Khanani Family Dental.

To keep your veneers in good condition, it is essential to maintain a regular brushing and flossing routine. This helps prevent stains on your natural teeth and reduces the risk of common oral health issues like cavities and gum disease. Additionally, it is recommended to visit Dr. Khanani every 6 months for a professional cleaning and oral exam to ensure your veneers and natural teeth are well-maintained.

To prevent damage to your veneers, avoid eating hard foods with your front teeth, refrain from chewing on non-food items, and do not use your teeth for tasks like tearing open bags or ripping tape. Taking these precautions will help protect your veneers and maintain your oral health.

Getting veneers is a painless process. While a thin layer of enamel is removed during the preparation, our team will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. You will not feel any pain during your appointment with Dr. Khanani.

It is common to experience some tooth sensitivity in the weeks following your initial preparation appointment, especially while wearing temporary resin veneers. This sensitivity may continue for a short period after receiving your permanent porcelain veneers.

This sensitivity is normal and nothing to worry about. Once you have adjusted to your new porcelain veneers, you should feel completely comfortable with your new smile. Your teeth will actually be stronger than before. If you experience persistent sensitivity or discomfort, please contact us for a follow-up appointment. Dr. Khanani may need to provide further treatment to address and resolve the issue.
