I Don't Want Shark Teeth, Can I Get No-Prep Veneers?
First, let’s start by debunking the “shark teeth” videos that you may have seen on Instagram, TikTok, and other social media websites. Many people who have their teeth shaved down are claiming that this was necessary to have their veneers placed and to enhance their smile.
But this is false! In fact, most of the people who have posted these videos are getting dental crowns, not porcelain veneers. And there’s a big difference. Dental crowns are very strong and thick, and are meant to cover up and replace the entire surface of your tooth. They are made of porcelain, and built to look just like natural teeth.
Will I Need a Nightguard After Getting Porcelain Veneers?
When it comes to protecting porcelain veneers, especially if you have a habit of bruxism (teeth
grinding), choosing the right night guard is essential.
The Night Guard: Typically, for patients with porcelain veneers, a custom-made, rigid night guard is
often recommended. This type of guard provides a stable and strong surface that can effectively
distribute the force exerted during grinding or clenching. A rigid guard is usually made of a
durable acrylic material that can withstand significant pressure, thus offering better protection
for your porcelain veneers.
DO YOU HAVE GUMMY SMILE?
A gummy smile is one that shows more gum than usual when smiling. Although each person may have a different perception, it is generally considered that the proportion of gum that should be shown when smiling is about 3-4 mm in the case of women, and 2 mm in men, to be considered as a gummy smile.
