Dental Notation Guide

Aside from being visually pleasing, dental veneers also serves a functional purpose by protecting the surface of a damaged tooth. Sometimes veneers can replace the need for a dental crown, thus eliminating the need for more invasive tooth preparation.

And because dental veneers are so thin, they might require little or-no tooth reshaping when bonded onto the tooth. Once veneers are bonded into place, they are relatively strong and durable; however, extra care must be taken so that the veneers wont be abused because the thin porcelain shells can either damage or break when pushed into tough situations. Dentists may advise against certain uses or dietary tendencies and may recommend you wear a protective appliance while your sleep especially if you grit your teeth during sleep.
