In an interview with Dr. Dulski about porcelain veneers, Ms. Deborah Jeanne Sergeant of In Good Health asks:
Ms. Sergeant: What are the benefits that porcelain veneers offer?
Dr. Dulski: How we perceive our smile and appearance affects our self-esteem, our moods and how we function in social and business relationships. Common conditions that impact negatively on your smile include broken, cracked or worn teeth, discolored teeth, missing teth, crooked teeth, gaps between your teeth and/or "gummy smiles." Ceramic restoration is the most durable and life-like way to replace damaged or lost enamel. Veneers are more conservative of healthy tooth structure than full-coverage ceramic crowns.
Ms. Sergeant: What are the risks involved?
Dr. Dulski: As with any dental material that is used to restore teeth, there is limited useful life of the material. Worn material requires replacement over time. Consider a non-invasive procedure like orthodontics to close gaps to straighten teeth if the enamel is healthy and attractive.
Ms. Sergeant: I've read that sometimes part of the tooth is ground off before a veneer is applied. Wouldn't that harm the enamel?
Dr. Dulski: The tooth is only as strong as the original tooth structure. Healthy, intact enamel is necessary for a strong tooth that can chew comfortably and resist fracture. Veneers are the most conservative replacement for damaged or lost enamel. Thin veneers are the most conservative enhancement for unattractive enamel.
Ms. Sergeant: Can debris get trapped between tooth and veneer thus endangering the tooth?
Dr. Dulski: Porcelain veneers are bonded to the tooth using adhesive resins that seal out decay. Daily brushing and flossing are necessary to remove plaque, a film of bacteria that can build up on both natural and veneered teeth along the gum line.
Ms. Sergeant: How long do veneers last?
Dr. Dulski: Veneers, like crowns, last an average of 8 - 12 years. Frequent visits with your dental hygiene coach, the hygienist, can help you prolong the life of your porcelain restorations.
Ms. Sergeant: Once a veneer is applied, must the person have veneers for life?
Dr. Dulski: Once enamel is removed, it cannot be replaced with anything as long-lasting. Bonding damaged, lost or unattractive enamel with porcelain with the goal of preserving tooth structure is a reality today.
At Adult Dentistry of Rochester, Dr. Dulski supports the desirability of placing more conservative restorations to realize the financial and longevity benefits offered by more conservative restorative dentistry.
