What are the disadvantages of dental veneers? Dental veneers also have disadvantages.

There are many types of dental veneers and many types of materials for dental veneers. Dental veneers are very beautiful, but not everyone is suitable for dental veneers, and there are many things to pay attention to when applying dental veneers.

What are the disadvantages of dental veneers?

Disadvantage 1: Expensive The price of dental porcelain veneers varies depending on the location of the teeth and the specific number of restorations you want, but one thing is certain: they are usually expensive. According to a survey by the relevant dental association, the average cost of a single dental veneer in 2013 was 7,938.54 yuan.

Disadvantage 2: Increased tooth sensitivity Some people will feel an increase in tooth sensitivity after having dental veneers. According to a report from the Dental Association: In the few days after the operation, you will be more sensitive to cold or hot foods or objects, but it will not last forever. This will bring a lot of discomfort and inconvenience, but there are still many ways to take care of it, such as toothpaste that relieves the pain caused by sensitivity, which helps repair and strengthen weakened tooth enamel.

Disadvantage 3: Permanent porcelain veneer restorations are considered permanent because the surgery requires changing the structure of the natural tooth for proper placement, which causes the outer layer of enamel to be worn away to make room.

Dental veneer precautions

It is best to use dental floss at least once a day to remove the soft plaque between teeth. It is best to avoid eating cold, hard and irritating foods within a few days after the completion of dental veneers. You can eat more fruits or foods containing high vitamin C to maintain the health of gums. If there is a serious deficiency, the gums will become fragile and prone to diseases, with symptoms such as swollen gums, bleeding, loose teeth or falling off. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid greasy and spicy foods, eat more fresh vegetables and grains, and have a regular work and rest schedule.

Single plate exquisite porcelain three-layer ceramic grinding does not need brushing, does not require anesthesia, has no color difference, the number of visits is 2 times, and the use time is 10 to 20 years.

Do dental veneers hurt?

After porcelain veneer restoration, it will not cause tooth pain. The amount of tooth preparation for porcelain veneer is controlled in the enamel layer and does not involve the dentin layer.

Porcelain veneer will not cause tooth pain, but the condition must be controlled well. For example, if there is original caries or tooth defects, the impact on the dental nerve must be controlled first to ensure the indication.
