Without a doubt, porcelain veneers are one of the best cosmetic dental options. These shells<\/a> are so versatile that they can hide stains, cracks, misalignments, and more, ensuring your grin looks great. Even so, it’s possible to suffer some side effects of veneer treatment; you’ll want to consider them before committing to anything. The good news is that your Carrollton dentist is here to help out. So, read on to learn about four potential side effects of today’s veneer treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cracked or Chipped Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern veneers rarely crack or chip, as they\u2019re typically made of porcelain. However, they can still experience such damage if they have poor placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact remains that dentists are human, meaning they can make mistakes. There\u2019s a chance they\u2019ll place your veneers poorly for various reasons \u2013 inattention, a slip, etc. Chips and cracks in the shells could result from such misplacement, as well as rough edges and overhangs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum Inflammation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When they work correctly, veneers shouldn\u2019t affect your gums at all. Still, the shells could inflame your gums if treatment goes sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are foreign objects; they aren\u2019t natural parts of your mouth. To that extent, your gums will often need time to adjust to their presence on your teeth. Unfortunately, that presence could cause minor gum inflammation if the initial placement was too rough. You\u2019d then need to see your dentist to confirm the cause of the inflamed tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In certain scenarios, veneers can trigger some tooth sensitivity. You should keep this effect in mind before you pursue treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, veneers must be \u201cprepped\u201d for their teeth. The dentist will remove some enamel before placement to ensure the shells fit well. Amidst this \u201cprep\u201d work, some teeth can become sensitive as their underlying dentin is exposed. A patient would then need to compensate with pain medicine, follow-up treatments, and similar methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth Pulp Injury<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, please note that veneer work sometimes causes tooth pulp injuries. Such damage seldom happens, but that doesn\u2019t mean it never does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, it comes down to veneers\u2019 enamel removal. If that removal doesn\u2019t go smoothly, it can occasionally cause an injury to your tooth pulp. That damage usually warrants a root canal, tooth extraction, or similarly invasive procedure. To avoid that outcome, you may want to get a dental crown instead of a veneer; the former carries less risk than the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn about other side effects of veneer treatment, consult your dental provider. They\u2019ll slowly and carefully outline the risks for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
