5 Questions to Ask Your Dentist Before Getting Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers hide imperfections that years of brushing can’t erase. Have you been considering this popular cosmetic dentistry treatment? If so, it’s essential to do your research before proceeding.

At Collins Dentistry & Aesthetics, Drs. Ken and Marnie Collins want you to feel confident and informed about your decision. With decades of dental experience and extensive training from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, they are well-versed in veneers and are happy to share their insights. 

Here are five important questions to ask before getting porcelain veneers.

1. Am I a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers aren’t ideal for everyone. Factors like tooth health, enamel thickness, and bite alignment play a role. Your dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if veneers are the right solution for your smile goals.

2. What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

Understanding the veneer process helps set realistic expectations. Ask about:

  • Preparation
  • How much enamel will be removed
  • The timeline for completion
  • Any follow-up appointments needed

At Collins Dentistry & Aesthetics, we guide you through every step to ensure clarity and comfort.

3. How Long Will My Porcelain Veneers Last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Discuss maintenance tips, habits to avoid (like biting hard objects), and signs that may indicate a need for repair or replacement.

4. What Results Can I Expect?

Veneers can create stunning results, but every patient is unique. Ask your dentist about customized options, shade matching, and how they ensure your new smile looks natural and suits your facial features.

5. What Sets Your Practice Apart for Veneer Treatments?

Choosing the right provider is as important as the procedure itself.

Our state-of-the-art technology and spa-like environment set us apart in Spokane.
