Before you get Dental Veneers Watch This! | Are Veneers Worth It?

Before you get Dental Veneers watch this! I'll go over the pros and cons and your alternatives to veneers. Veneers are not for everyone so the better informed you are the better your choice will be.

WHAT ARE VENEERS?

Veneers are thin shell covering made from durable, long-lasting material covering the front part of your teeth. Your dentist will shave down the shape of your natural teeth to attach the veneers with dental cement.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR VENEERS?
You may be a good candidate if you have discoloration, and whitening hasn’t been effective. Some may want to close spaces between their front teeth.

TYPES OF VENEERS
There are various types of veneers with various materials. The most common types are porcelain (or ceramic) and composite veneers.

THE PROS AND CONS OF DENTAL VENEERS
THE PROS
Veneers create beautiful esthetic smiles.
Veneers can dramatically change the appearance of teeth after trauma or chipping.
They are the best solution for a white smile if your teeth are discolored.
Veneers are extremely stain-resistant and durable.
THE CONS
Your veneers won’t last long if you develop gum recession and gum disease as you age.
They’re expensive and aren’t covered by insurance.
Veneers need to be replaced every 10-15 years.
Prepping for veneers involves the removal of enamel. So the effects are permanent.
You can’t whiten veneers, so if your natural teeth change in shade, you will have to get a new set to match the shade.

I have had the same beautiful set of porcelain veneers for 26 years. This year, I have decided to replace them due to some gum recession. Being 63 years old, I hope this set will last as long as my current set has. Chances are, they will outlast me!

Hey everyone. If you think of getting veneers, i just want to tell you that there is always a risk that it can go wrong. My dentist did a mistake and all my 4 front teeth died. I had extrem pain, nobody took me serious in the beginning, and now all 4 teeth are dead and i am in pain since 2 years. So really think about the risk even if it's not common. If you have a nice smile, but nothing you can smile about anymore because you are suffering all day long and pain killers don't work, than it isn't worth it! If you are young and really want to change the look of your teeth, look for non-prep veneers!

Composite veneers are great in miami. The issue is they begin to discolor after 2-3 years. I definitely would recomnend porcelain. Last alot longer, doesnt discolor

My dentist shaved a lot of my teeth before veneer. Had I known that, I would have never let him do it. 😢

No clicbait on point explanation that's why this is perfect channel for dental explanation :)

[gurbydhar]

Consider orthodontic treatment than veneers wherever possible as it's minimally invasive and you get the right bite

I just got all vuneers put on.. I had no clue how much of a process this was.. I’ve been having them done since June. It’s December 21st. I have temps still on bottoms and permanent just got put on Yesterday. Idk thus process would be so invasive and 6+months of dental work🤯🤯
However they look stunning 🎉😍

Super helpful! I had double jaw surgery with a 3 segment lefort on top. My ortho team has done what they can, but I have a couple decent gaps they just can’t close without messing with my brand new bite. I was debating between bonding/composite veneers and porcelain, and you definitely helped me decide that porcelain is probably right for me.

I was thinking about getting veneers but this video made me rethink that. I don’t want my natural teeth to be shaved so I will just stick with my natural teeth and consider getting a teeth whitening treatment.

Composite veneers sound like a dream ! 😍

[nicolelewonkenobi]

I've had composite veneers done by an amazing dentist for almost 20 years. I'm ready to finally make the leap, and spend the money, on porcelain veneers. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I've been worried I'd have to get my teeth shaved down a LOT. Glad to know that isn't what is done.

[hectorbrito]

Dr. Coughlin, please know that I found your informative explanation most comprehensive, and it was greatly appreciated.
With specific mention to including general estimated investment.
Thank you.

[silviabez]

Thank you for sharing this video! I go back and forth with wanting veneers.

[marymadeline]

I have composite veneers over 25years now front teeth they still look awesome 😂

[melaniegenuinely]

I was just trying to understand what the heck Turkey teeth were and somehow winded up on this channel😂😂😂I must say, I tried to watch the video but your teeth are so beautiful I couldn’t help but staring. My goodness I’ve never seen such beautiful teeth and I work with the public. But I will say I did like how informative this video was even though I’m not trying to get veneers.

I'm in the middle of getting mine replaced (upper teeth). The current set lasted over 25 years but the gums have receded on a some of them. One thing the doctor on this video mentioned is the 1 to 2 mm of tooth structure removed is just a "little bit." No it's not, and you have to realize you'll need veneers for life. Look at a ruler and see what a millimeter is. If you won a foot race by a couple of millimeters, OK that's small. When you compare a millimeter to the depth of the tips of your front teeth, it's a lot.

[irenediego]

Thanks Doc you answered everything for me. Yes I did search on YouTube. I almost Googled it but I'm a visual learner so this was good

[teannadaniels]

Hey Dr.Nate Im a college student going into Dental school. (I love your videos) Can you make a video showing the steps of doing a x-ray before treatment?
Thank you.

[daveboothroyd]

This guy would put me off going to the dentist for anything at all.

Having to replace every 10-15 years may be a turning point for me. I was expecting more like 20 years with the prices that porcelain veneers are my way (ATL) $2000-2700 per tooth and dentist are encouraging to get 10 for top.
