How will existing fillings affect porcelain veneers? I am concerned that if I get porcelain veneers, fillings on my front teeth will affect the look of the veneers or prevent them from bonding securely. Do fillings interfere with porcelain veneers? – Thanks Danni

Danni,

We understand your concerns about not detracting from the appearance or stability of new porcelain veneers.

How Do Existing Tooth Fillings Affect New Porcelain Veneers?

Tooth fillings do not interfere with the success of porcelain veneers. The bonding material used for porcelain veneers is chemically compatible with dental filling materials. Therefore, a dentist can bond the veneer over existing fillings without compromising the integrity of the restoration or detracting from aesthetics.

Experienced cosmetic dentists with postgraduate training in aesthetics are experts in porcelain veneers. You can be confident that an experienced cosmetic dentist will give you high-quality results and a beautiful smile. Schedule consultations with at least two cosmetic dentists to discuss what you can expect with porcelain veneers.
