Unlikely to cause problems with a person\u2019s oral health, they can produce certain side effects if an individual does not take proper care of their new teeth. Keep reading to find out what can happen while wearing veneers and why they\u2019re still a beneficial and worthwhile cosmetic treatment.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Potential Side Effects with Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing to have veneers placed over imperfect teeth, you can expect a boost in confidence, a more youthful appearance, and the chance for improved oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with new veneers comes potential side effects that you may be unaware of, some of which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Sensitivity<\/strong>: Enamel removal can cause mild sensitivity, but it does not last long. Instead, it will dissipate over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stains: <\/strong>Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, but they are not stain-proof. Too many dark-colored foods and beverages can cause discoloration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dental Decay: <\/strong>If you fail to practice good oral hygiene, you may develop tooth decay, as veneers only cover the front surfaces of your teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chipped Teeth: <\/strong>Without proper mouth protection, such as a mouthguard or nightguard, you can accidentally chip or crack your veneers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gum Irritation: <\/strong>If your veneers are not placed correctly, you can experience gum irritation and need to have them refitted.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are They Still Worth the Investment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, veneers continue to be a worthwhile investment because they can hide imperfections and change the size, shape, and color of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although side effects are possible, they\u2019re not guaranteed. Some only last a short time, while others may never develop. This often depends on how well you take care of your new smile once your veneers are in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why you should follow your dentist\u2019s instructions about post-treatment aftercare. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, a healthy diet, and giving up bad habits (like smoking) can help ensure your new teeth look and feel right for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers can give you the smile of your dreams. Even with potential side effects, these restorations are your opportunity to embrace one-of-a-kind results that positively impact your overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Rebecca Long at Westlake Hills Dental Arts is a talented cosmetic dentist who is skilled in providing patients with remarkable results.
