How is Your Oral Health?
Good oral health comes before cosmetic dental work. If you have any oral health issues, you’ll need to tackle them before you can proceed with getting porcelain veneers.
Don’t worry if you don’t know where you stand on this front. Dr. George Paez will examine your mouth to check for tooth decay, gum disease, and other potential problems. If he finds something suspicious, he’ll recommend a treatment plan to improve your candidacy for veneers.
What Degree of Tooth Misalignment Do You Have?
Porcelain veneers are called instant orthodontics for a reason. They’re a great way to conceal minor tooth misalignment for a straight-looking smile. However, veneers don’t change the position of your teeth.
If your teeth are very crooked, you may need braces or clear aligners first. This step will set you up for great-looking results that last. Not only that, but it will also help you avoid problems associated with misaligned teeth, such as jaw pain and premature tooth wear.
Do You Grind Your Teeth?
People who grind or clench their teeth are more likely to damage their veneers. If you want to protect your stunning new smile, you’ll need to take steps to end daytime and nighttime tooth grinding, such as:
- Getting a mouthguard
- Trying stress-reduction techniques
- Massaging your jaw muscles
- Becoming more conscious of your clenching
