Are dental veneers permanent?

What causes teeth to stain?
There are many different reasons that can cause teeth to look stained, including certain foods and beverages, medications, health conditions, age, genetics, etc.
What is dentin hypersensitivity and what causes it?
Dentin hypersensitivity refers to a condition where the protective layer of enamel on a tooth wears down, exposing the underlying dentin layer. This exposure can lead to severe pain when pressure is applied to the tooth or when consuming hot or cold beverages. Several factors can cause dentin hypersensitivity. One common cause is tooth erosion due to acidic foods and drinks, which gradually wears away the enamel over time. Gum recession, often resulting from aggressive brushing or gum disease, can also expose the dentin and trigger sensitivity. Additionally, tooth grinding, cracks, or dental procedures that involve the removal of enamel can contribute to dentin hypersensitivity. Overall, the loss of enamel and subsequent exposure of dentin are the primary causes of dentin hypersensitivity.
What is crown lengthening and why is it performed?
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure aimed at expanding the visible portion (crown) of a tooth structure. It is typically carried out for either restorative or esthetic reasons. Restoratively, crown lengthening allows for improved access to the tooth structure, facilitating the placement of dental restorations such as crowns or bridges. This procedure may be necessary in situations where a tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or worn down, and requires a stable foundation for restoration. Esthetically, crown lengthening can help improve the appearance of one's smile by exposing more of the tooth structure and reducing the appearance of a gummy smile. In both cases, crown lengthening plays a pivotal role in enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the affected tooth.
