Yes, the tooth can still get cavities, specifically in the exposed areas not covered by the veneer. Dental veneers also don’t prevent root infections and gum disease.
This is why thorough brushing and flossing are so vital to the long-term success of your dental veneers. You should also continue visiting your Scottsdale dentist every six months for dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings.
Dental Veneers in Scottsdale, AZ
Our dental veneers are made of quality porcelain. They are also colored and shaped to match untreated teeth. It’s important to remember that your dentist removes a bit of tooth enamel to cement dental veneers to the teeth. For this reason, you must consider them permanent and replace them immediately if one is lost.
To start, the dentist takes impressions of the treated teeth you’d like to veneer. Next, we cement the custom veneers to your teeth and finish with a polish.
After placement, treat your veneered teeth like untreated teeth by continuing to visit the dentist every six months and brushing/flossing at least twice daily.
