Dental Veneers: Planning, Alternatives, and Maintenance
A veneer consultation should evaluate oral health, bite, tooth position, enamel, existing restorations, and the specific cosmetic change you want.
Describe the change, not just the procedure
Bring examples or explain whether your concern is color, shape, spacing, wear, symmetry, or another feature.
Ask about alternatives
Whitening, bonding, orthodontic movement, or a crown may sometimes fit the goal better.
Understand maintenance
Veneers still require brushing, interdental cleaning, professional care, and protection from damaging habits or excessive force.
