A dentist assesses enamel, bite forces, gum position, decay, cracks, and expectations before planning veneers.
When should changes around a veneered tooth be checked?
Report persistent sensitivity, bite interference, gum irritation, chipping, debonding, or food trapping.
What should you ask about reversible veneer treatment?
Ask whether treatment is reversible, how much enamel is involved, and how future repair will be managed.
