I am considering getting eight to ten porcelain veneers for my upper teeth. I have a broad smile and want it to look natural. I have fillings on my center front teeth. Will the veneers stay attached to the fillings? – Thanks. Dianna from TX
Dianna,
The bonding material that a cosmetic dentist uses to bond porcelain veneers to your teeth is compatible with tooth filling. The bonding will adhere to the fillings, forming a solid x. The fillings will not interfere with the stability of your porcelain veneers.
When seeking cosmetic dentistry treatment, especially porcelain veneers, we recommend looking for an advanced cosmetic dentist (preferably accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry or the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry). Dentists with extensive post-graduate training in cosmetic dentistry and artistic talent give their patients beautiful, natural-looking smiles.
Search online for accredited cosmetic dentists or those with extensive post-graduate training. Look for the smile gallery on each dentist’s website and examine porcelain veneers cases. Check online reviews for comments about a dentist’s work with porcelain veneers. Schedule consultations with a few dentists to compare the results they achieve and discuss your treatment options.
