Frequently asked questions
Both materials are resistant, but porcelain is much more resistant. The resin runs out over time; on the other hand, porcelain does not. Porcelain is even much more resistant to fading and the most important thing is that it maintains the shine. The resin lasts between 5-8 years depending on how careful the patient is and the porcelain lasts between 15-20 years.
Yes you can get veneers if you have missing teeth. We have 2 options to replace the missing teeth: The first one is with implants and the second one with a fixed bridge.
The implant option depends on how much bone you have. Not all patients will qualify for implants. It is done in 2 different appointments/flights. If you want this option, we need to see an x-ray.
The fixed bridge is made with crowns and we add to the cost of each tooth that we need to shave. For example, if you´re missing a tooth, we have to shave the 2 that are on each side, so we would charge you 3 crowns.
We request some pictures and the doctor evaluates them to determine if you’re eligible or not. And also, we will let you know if other treatments are required before doing the veneers.
