Dental Veneers – What Can Go Wrong?
Porcelain Veneers were initially used within cosmetic dentistry in the eighties: And while the technology and methodologies involved have advanced since then, there are still things which can go wrong. In the face of the ideal Porcelain Veneers can last a between ten and twenty years: Which, when you look at the long term makes the cost of them somewhat reasonable. However, there are factors which can negatively affect the longevity of all types of Dental Veneers – Not just Porcelain. Including:
• The effectiveness of the bond – This primarily relies on the tenacity of the adhesive and the skill of the dentist.
• The bite and indeed the ‘use of’ the patient’s teeth – A misaligned bite or biting into something inappropriate can damage dental veneers: They are no more ‘invisible’ than teeth!
If you already have dental veneers and are not happy with the results it is usually possible to have them reworked. However, fixing the mistakes of an inexperienced cosmetic dentist is a challenge. To which it is vital to ensure you do not repeat the mistake – So find a dentist who IS experienced within this specific field of cosmetic dentistry AND can prove it.
Who’s Who?
In the UK Full members of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry need to meet certain criteria to maintain this level of membership. That means relevant training and experience. Any general dentist can maintain they are a cosmetic dentist. Therefore any dentist who is a full member of the BACD is somewhat apart from the norm. If you are looking for a dentist specifically trained in cosmetic dentistry BACD members have the membership to prove their experience. But don’t stop there: Ask to see a portfolio of their results. If they tell you they are ‘too busy’ for photographs then it is probably best to put up the red light.
