I\u2019m in need of a smile makeover, but not sure if I should go with porcelain veneers or Lumineers. Should I be concerned about tooth decay with veneers from food getting stuck under them? — Anastasia<\/p>\n

Anastasia,
\nRegardless of what type of veneer you go with, if your dentist bonds them properly, there will be no gaps behind them and your smile will look very natural because the veneers fit perfectly over your teeth. Porcelain veneers<\/a> themselves are not made of enamel, so they will not decay, but the exposed tooth structure is still susceptible to normal decay if you don\u2019t keep up on your daily home care of brushing and flossing. So be diligent in your daily oral habits and don\u2019t forget to schedule regular dental cleanings and check-ups.<\/p>\n

You need to be sure that you get the help of a skilled cosmetic dentist. Be very thorough when doing your research \u2013 ask to see before and after photos of his or her work. Also, if you don\u2019t have a good understanding of the difference between porcelain veneers and Lumineers<\/a>, you need to ask for more information and determine which is best for you. Lumineers are simply a brand a ultra-thin veneers that don\u2019t require teeth preparation. They work for some people, but if they are not properly placed they can cause several aesthetic problems. Porcelain veneers are more versatile and allow a dentist to custom design a perfect fit.<\/p>\n
