Veneers are now a known cosmetic dental treatment that can help people achieve the \u201cpicture-perfect\u201d smile. Unfortunately, a harmful trend has been attached to them. The \u201cveneers check\u201d is a TikTok challenge where people are showing off their shaved-down teeth in preparation for receiving veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is it Dangerous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the majority of the people participating in the \u201cveneers check\u201d trend are very young! By filing down their teeth at a premature age, they risk having to need dentures earlier in life than the average person. Additionally, many of those showing their \u201cveneers check\u201d are actually getting dental crowns instead of veneers. This leads to misinformation and ruined expectations regarding these two procedures, as they are entirely different from each other. Dental crowns are not meant to cosmetically fix a smile so they can cause many issues down the line if used for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the Difference Between Veneers &amp; Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between veneers and crowns is in their function. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment that uses ultra-thin shells of porcelain to cover dental flaws. This can range from fixing chipped or misaligned teeth to creating a luminous celebrity smile (which seems to be the main reason for attempting the \u201cveneers check\u201d). &nbsp;To prepare the teeth for veneers, a dentist usually removes a tiny portion of their enamel, retaining as much of the natural tooth as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, dental crowns are a restorative treatment. They are designed to protect a weak tooth after treating a large cavity or administering root canal therapy. Most people aren\u2019t meant to have a mouthful of crowns since they are only meant for particular oral health needs. If young people choose to get crowns instead of veneers for the sake of saving money, they risk their dental health <em>and <\/em>the look of their smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Safely Achieve the Smile of Your Dreams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have chipped, cracked, misaligned, or discolored teeth, there are effective\u2014and safe\u2014ways to address those issues. To transform your smile, the best course of action is always to get a consultation from a skilled dentist. During your visit, they will learn about your smile goals before assessing your dental needs and determining what the best treatment is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While social media has its place, it is best not to use it for dental or oral health advice or guidance. By speaking with your dentist, you can achieve a beautiful smile effectively <em>and <\/em>safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fort Dental keeps the smiles of Fort Worth healthy and beautiful through the expertise of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortdentaltx.com\/meet-the-doctors.html\">team of dentists<\/a>.&nbsp; With more than 40 years of combined experience, they offer a range of services, including cosmetic dental care.
