Question 1

can there be any cheaper, long-lasting alternatives to dental veneers?

Accepted Answer

Did you ever?: Did you ever hear the sayings, &quot;you get what you pay for&quot; and &quot;you can&#x27;t have your cake and eat it too&quot;?
There are methods to make some cosmetic improvements without having to go through the expense of porcelain laminate veneers. However, nothing compares to quality veneers by a competent dentist and dental lab in those circumstances when they are indicated as the best aesthetic alternative.

Question 2

could getting dental caps be a better choice for me rather than veneers?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: See the expert in this field -- a prosthodontist. Much depends on the desired result, the tooth arrangement and position, the bite, how much tooth is left and is it solid, etc.... See the expert. Good luck.

Question 3

please tell me if there are any cheaper, long-lasting alternatives to dental veneers?

Accepted Answer

Not really...: The fabrication of dental prosthetics requires time, skill, and money. There's an art to making them look just right, and the investment you will be making in your appearance is designed to last a long time. There really are no shortcuts. Veneers are usually cosmetic in nature, and if that is your case, it's something worth saving for.

Question 4

please tell me, are dental veneers suitable for all age groups, do these need extra care?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no.: No special age limitations, except that the patient should be finished their adult growth. These would be porcelain veneers. Composite veneers can be directly placed on younger patients. You clean as usual, ask hygienist not to use prophy-jet or sonic/ultrasonic scalers on them. Good luck.

Question 5

when is a dental crown indicated over a veneer?

Accepted Answer

Varies : Depends on many factors.  Is there adequate tooth structure to support porcelain veneers?  Do you have parafunctional habbits like Bruxism or Clenching?  Do you have enough teeth in the back of your mouth to support the front?  All of these are factors that can influence which restoration is best for you

Question 6

i'm wondering about dental veneers and their suitability for people with snaggle tooth?

Accepted Answer

One option..: Veneers are one option in the attempt to mask a canine that is protruding. Another option is invisalign. Since this type of cosmetic work is case specific, it would be best to find a trusted dentist in your area who is comfortable tackling cosmetic cases such as yours. Have them explain the pros and cons of each treatment option.

Question 7

could dental veneers cause root canals?

Accepted Answer

Veneers: Strictly speaking, veneers themselves do not "cause root canals".  However, after receiving veneer treatment, sometimes teeth become sensitive or even painful, and root canal treatment (rct) may be indicated to help. Some teeth have unknown 'stressed' or barely live nerves from past trauma or bad bite. If your tooth is in such a condition, the tooth nerve may die soon after veneers, needing rct.

Question 8

dental crowns are good to apply on 75% remaining tooth or veneers?

Accepted Answer

Discuss 1 one 1: The decision as to whether to use a crown or a veneer is more complicated that just going by the parameter that you posted. Deciding what is best for your particular tooth or teeth should not be governed by posting this question on the internet, but by having a dentist actually examine you, see the x-rays of your teeth and discuss your treatment options, & why 1 particular treatment is recommended.

Question 9

can a front tooth dental veneer, that later becomes chipped, be repaired using composite resin and be color blended so that it is not noticeable?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes it can depending on the extent of the fracture and mostly on the skill and knowledge of the practitioner. Sometimes replacement is the best option  but they can be repaired. See a qualified cosmetic dentist who can explain the pros and cons to both options and be able to perform the procedures properly.

Question 10

what is the difference between veneers and dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Quite different: A veneer is a thin covering that is placed on the outer surface of a natural tooth to change the appearance of that tooth. A dental implant is a titanium screw that is surgically placed into your jawbone to replace a missing tooth.
