Do Your Teeth Rot With Veneers

One question dentists usually get asked by their patients is, “Do your teeth rot with veneers?”. Well, this type of problem should never arise if veneers are placed carefully, and proper dental maintenance routine is followed by the person with veneers.

However, there are lots of dentists out there who apply veneers in an improper way. Let’s take a look at the reasons why your teeth can rot under veneers if they are not applied properly by an LPS Dental professional.

Veneer Preparation

Cosmetic dentists should prepare your teeth properly to avoid any troubles when applying dental veneers. The teeth which will be coated with veneer are slightly shaved by the dentist. This process is perfectly safe for your teeth, and your teeth won’t start decaying because of it.

After shaving the teeth to a certain extent, the veneer is applied on them with the help of a specific bonding chemical. After this, your teeth are exposed to special light which hardens everything. Proper gardening ensures no room is left for bacteria to affect your teeth afterwards.

Signs of Rotting Teeth

Here are some signs which indicate rotting teeth under veneers.

  • Gum infection.
  • Loosening teeth (the ones with veneer).
  • Increased sensitivity of gums.
  • Loosening veneer.
  • Sensitive teeth.

If these problems start affecting your teeth right after veneer application, you’ll have to tell your dentist to remove the veneer and treat the rotting teeth underneath first. Depending on the severity of the issue, your dentist might have to use another method to restore your dental beauty.

Moreover, if your teeth are already decaying before the application of veneers, they can’t be treated with veneers unless the issue is resolved. So, before getting veneers, ask your dentist to treat any other dental issues you might have.
