Feeling uncertain or confused about the function, purpose and the application of dental veneers makes total sense. The short answer is, dental veneers do not often ruin your natural teeth.

Like with any type of dental treatment, we can't offer any 100% guarantees about the results of your treatment. However, with care, attention and maintenance, dental veers are very unlikely to ruin your natural teeth.

Rather, they are designed to enhance your natural teeth, help you achieve a beautiful smile and improve your over-all health.

Dental veneers likely won't ruin your natural teeth because:

• The dental cement or bonding agent used to attach your veneers are not harmful to your natural teeth
• Veneers are made specifically to fit over your tooth or teeth for optimal comfort
• There is no one-size-fits all approach with veneers. Each veneer is custom-sized and made for each of your teeth being treated.
• Your teeth and gums are assessed prior to application to ensure you are eligible for dental veneers
• The porcelain or composite-resin veneers made by Outdoor Dental are nontoxic to the human mouth

With that being said, veneers do not protect your real teeth from cavities or decay. Your teeth still need to be brushed, flossed, cleaned and treated well to prevent infection, breaking, chipping and fracturing.

Ways to protect your natural teeth with dental veneers:

• At least 2 minutes of brushing every morning and every evening
• Flossing once a day as usual
• Use Canadian Dental Association recommended toothbrushes and toothpaste
• If you have a habit of chewing hard objects like your finger nails, pens, or ice, please be mindful and strive to break out of it.
• Be aware if you're grinding or clenching your teeth at night due to stress or out of habit. For more on symptoms of this, click here.
• Wear a custom-designed mouth guard if you play a contact sport.
• Avoid biting into hard foods and treats like raw veggies, nuts, toffee, brittle, etc.
• Don't use your teeth as a tool to open things like plastic packaging, bottles, bagged snacks, etc.
• Schedule cleaning appointments every six months at your dentist.

In the application process of getting dental veneers, a thin layer of enamel is typically removed from the surface of your teeth to ensure the dental cement adheres the veneer properly and permanently — so that you can enjoy your new, whiter and straighter smile without worry of your veneers slipping off!

The removal of enamel is not at all a common cause of ruining a patient's real teeth. With that said, the tooth or set of teeth receiving veneers can be made more sensitive after the layer of enamel is removed. This means that your teeth will likely become more touchy to hot and cold foods and/or sensations. In addition, the enamel removal also makes getting dental veneers an irreversible treatment.

Dental veneers are often considered a minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry treatment that strengthen and enhance your natural teeth and smile. Your natural teeth should not and are very unlikely to be "ruined" during the treatment process.

Dental veneers are very effective when having:

• Chipped teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Stained or discoloured teeth
• Broken teeth
• Gaps between teeth

Dental veneers are a great way to improve your smile, especially if your teeth are chipped, malformed, very discoloured or will not and cannot be whitened.

The pros of dental veneers are that they can be done in only two visits, the colour easily changes, and the porcelain has the real look of teeth and will not stain.

The main con is that the teeth sometimes have to be shaped so it’s generally not a reversible procedure. At any rate, dental veneers in Calgary SE will give you the smile everyone wants.
