Question about Veneers?
Do you have to have good teeth to get them?
I have alot of fillings that I need to get and I was wondering if I just got veneers if that would also fix my problems with my teeth?
Answers:
The answer given by Laney is so inaccurate it is laughable...
I am a dentist. Decay always needs to be removed first and restored with a filling, or if very large, a crown. A veneer will only cover the front part of the tooth. Some veneers can be done without any tooth preparation (Lumineers), but many times the front part of the tooth is shaved down. A crown requires the tooth to be prepared much more agressively, all around. I have additional info on my website: www.newtowndental.com, or you can go to www.ada.org.
Good luck
