Possible Risks & Considerations
Summary
Dental implants are a strong and natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth, but they do involve surgery and carry risks. Success depends on proper planning, surgical technique, healing ability, and your ongoing care.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are one of the treatment options available to improve the appearance of your smile by covering stains, closing gaps, repairing chips, or helping teeth appear straighter and more even.
At Affinity Dentistry, your veneer journey begins with a detailed consultation. Our experienced dentist will examine your teeth and discuss the most suitable treatment options for your needs. This includes:
Before recommending veneers, we will check for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, or other oral health issues. If veneers are suitable and you choose to proceed, a thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the teeth, and an impression or digital scan is taken to create your customised veneers.
In some cases, sedatives may be offered to make the procedure more comfortable.
Sometimes, treatments such as gum recontouring or reshaping may be suggested alongside veneers. These procedures carry their own considerations and risks, which will be explained to you in detail.
Like any dental procedure, porcelain veneers carry risks. We encourage patients to seek a second opinion from a qualified health practitioner before proceeding. Alternative treatment options may be available depending on your case.
