Milford Dentist Challenges You to a Quiz on Dental Veneers

Are you looking for a fast way to transform your smile into something you can be proud to show off? If so, dental veneers may be the solution you’ve been looking for. To learn more about dental veneers, try the following quiz from your Milford dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner. There’s no telling what you may learn.

The Quiz

  1. True or False: Dental veneers can fix a variety of cosmetic problems.
  2. True or False: Dental veneers are very durable and have a lifelike appearance.
  3. True or False: For certain stains, dental veneers are a better option than teeth whitening.

The Answers

  1. False (technically). It is somewhat inaccurate to say that dental veneers fix a variety of cosmetic problems. Instead, they hide or mask them. To do so, the dental veneers, which are thin shells typically made of porcelain, are attached to the front surfaces of teeth. The veneers are then arranged to form a straight, damage-free, and luminous smile that covers up the cosmetic blights behind them. Dental veneers can be used to cover up alignment problems, gaps, stains, pitted teeth, and damaged teeth.
  2. True. Dental veneers are durable and stain-resistant, meaning that your new smile can last for many years to come. In addition, dental veneers can mimic the way that light reflects off of a natural tooth, lending them a very realistic appearance.
  3. True. While teeth whitening is effective at removing stains in most cases, there is one type of stain, called an intrinsic stain, against which teeth whitening treatment is ineffective. Intrinsic stains occur inside the tooth, where whitening agents are unable to reach them. Thus, dental veneers are the better cosmetic option for these stains as the veneers do not need to reach them but can mask them instead.
