To be eligible for veneers, a healthy mouth free of 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.

It is important to note that while veneers can address cosmetic concerns, they cannot restore broken or damaged teeth or be applied to teeth with cavities. Veneers may be an option for minor issues like slightly crooked teeth, but they are not a substitute for orthodontic treatment. If you have significant orthodontic issues, braces or clear aligners may be needed before getting veneers at our practice.

In order to keep your veneers in good condition, it is important to stick to a regular brushing and flossing routine. This will help prevent stains on your natural teeth and lower the risk of common oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease. It is also advisable to schedule a professional cleaning and oral exam with Dr. Khanani every 6 months to ensure that your veneers and natural teeth are well taken care of.

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

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

It is normal 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.

Rest assured, this sensitivity is 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.
