In order to be considered for veneers, a healthy mouth without tooth decay or gum disease is required. An appointment with Dr. Salman Khanani at our office is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment.

Please keep in mind that while veneers can improve cosmetic concerns, they cannot fix broken or damaged teeth or be placed on teeth with cavities. Veneers may be an option for minor issues such as slightly crooked teeth, but they are not a replacement for orthodontic treatment. If you have significant orthodontic issues, braces or clear aligners may be necessary before considering veneers at our practice.

To maintain the condition of your veneers, it is essential to maintain a regular brushing and flossing routine. This will help prevent stains on your natural teeth and reduce the risk of common oral health issues like cavities and gum disease. It is also recommended to schedule a professional cleaning and oral exam with Dr. Khanani every 6 months to ensure proper care for your veneers and natural teeth.

To prevent damage to your veneers, it is advised to avoid eating hard foods with your front teeth, refrain from chewing on non-food items, and avoid using your teeth for tasks like tearing open bags or ripping tape. By following these precautions, you can safeguard your veneers and promote good oral health.

Our team ensures a painless process when getting veneers, prioritizing your comfort throughout. Although a thin layer of enamel is removed during preparation, you will not experience any pain during your appointment with Dr. Khanani.

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

Do not worry about this sensitivity, as it is normal. 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 continue to experience sensitivity or discomfort, please reach out to us for a follow-up appointment. Dr. Khanani may need to provide further treatment to address and resolve the issue.
