Dental veneers Paris

Dental veneers are an ideal solution for a range of cosmetic dental concerns. Here are the main indications for which this treatment may be recommended:

When dental veneers are recommended

• Damaged or worn teeth: Veneers can restore the appearance of teeth damaged by everyday wear, cracks, disease, smoking or poor diet, among other factors.
• Misaligned or gapped teeth: For people with slightly crooked or spaced teeth, veneers can provide a quick and attractive alternative to conventional orthodontics.
• Discolouration or stains resistant to whitening: Teeth can become discoloured for various reasons, including medication, excessive fluoride or simply ageing. Veneers conceal these imperfections and create an even shade without contrasts or unevenness.
• Irregularly shaped teeth: Some people may have irregularly shaped teeth or teeth of uneven sizes. Veneers can harmonise the appearance of the smile by adjusting the shape and size of each tooth.
• Teeth with visible gaps: Veneers can close small spaces or diastemas between the teeth, creating a more even smile. These spaces, often known as ‘black triangles’, can be bothersome and affect the appearance of the smile. Applying veneers can conceal these gaps, creating harmonious alignment and a more consistent appearance. Veneers offer a quick and effective cosmetic solution for correcting these imperfections.

Contraindications for dental veneers

Although dental veneers are an excellent option for many patients, they are not suitable for everyone. Here are some situations in which dental veneers are not recommended. 

• Untreated tooth decay: Before veneers are fitted, all decay must be treated to prevent future complications.
• Periodontal disease: Patients with gum diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis must first receive appropriate treatment. Veneers should only be fitted to healthy teeth and gums.
• Teeth grinding or clenching: Patients affected by this problem should consider ways to manage teeth grinding before receiving veneers. Protective mouthguards may be recommended to protect the veneers at night.
• Insufficient tooth enamel: Veneers require a certain amount of tooth enamel to bond correctly. Patients with severely eroded enamel may not be suitable candidates for veneers.
• Unrealistic expectations: It is important for patients to have realistic expectations about the results of dental veneers. An initial consultation with the dentist will establish whether the patient's cosmetic goals can realistically be achieved.
