Question 1

will veneers make your smile bigger?

Accepted Answer

Smile bigger?: They can make your teeth larger, if that is what you want. But they will not make your mouth open more than it now does so that you can see more of your teeth.

Question 2

could i smoke with temporary veneers?

Accepted Answer

Sure but...: I wouldn't advise it, either for your temporary veneers or the rest of your body.

Question 3

i just had my veneers done they are too big?

Accepted Answer

I would discuss: This directly with the dentist who did your veneers.

Question 4

about how long does it take to apply veneers?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the type of veneer. Composite veneers are chair side  procedures and can be done in one appointment . Porcelain veneers on the other hand require an impression to be made and fabricated by the lab  and requires two appointments.

Question 5

which type of veneers are used by celebrities?

Accepted Answer

Ask their dentist : Better yet, ask yours. Especially if you are considering if for yourself or a loved one.

Question 6

what can i expect from a procedure for veneers?

Accepted Answer

Nice smile: Better looking teeth.

Question 7

what's the difference between caps and veneers?

Accepted Answer

Coverage: Typically, a "cap" -- also called a "crown" covers an entire surface of the tooth. A "veneer" is a laminate, and often placed only on limited surfaces of the tooth: it may be only outside (lip- or cheek-side), or have some "wrap-around" design that covers a portion of other surfaces.  Also, veneers are typically thinner, and tooth may be reduced less for veneers than crowns/caps.

Question 8

what can i expect when getting porcelin veneers?

Accepted Answer

A preview : You should expect a mockup of what the veneers will look like after they are done. Sometimes this may be done in the mouth. When that is not possible a mockup on a stone/plaster model of your mouth can be done. And these days a digital mockup may be done too. The mockup will show you what the final result will be! the actual procedure usually takes 2-3 appointments.

Question 9

can you tell me generally how much veneers cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost of veneers?: The fees vary widely based on geographic location, type of practice and reputation of dentist. I would venture to guess between $750 and $1500 per tooth. Having said that, don't try to guess what you would need for a better smile and assume veneers are right for you. See a dentist for a consultation. That way you can explore your treatment options and find out exact fees.

Question 10

what is the definition or description of: veneer?

Accepted Answer

A partial tooth coat: What are veneers?
 Veneering a tooth means to cover its facial or front surface. It is actually very similar to placing acrylic fingernails on top of natural nails except they are permanently in place. Veneers are used to enhance shapes and colors of teeth as well as to close spaces between teeth and to cover up significant stains such as those caused by tetracycline.
