If you want to improve your smile and boost your self-confidence, veneers may be the cosmetic dental treatment you’ve been searching for. By enhancing the appearance of your teeth, veneers can make you feel more confident in social and professional settings. They are thin covers meticulously bonded to the front surface of teeth.
Long-lasting
Whether your teeth are stained, chipped, or have small gaps, the best porcelain veneers can make them look like new again. These veneers are designed to mimic the color and texture of your natural teeth, so they blend in with your smile. Your cosmetic dentist will work with you to design a set of veneers that look beautiful and natural in your mouth.
Porcelain veneers are durable and can last a lifetime with proper care. You must maintain good oral hygiene, brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. Avoid foods high in sugar, and don’t use abrasive toothpaste, just as you would with your natural teeth. Veneers are a quick and easy way to get the smile you’ve always wanted. If you’re self-conscious about your smile, porcelain veneers can give you the confidence to show off a bright and attractive smile. And if you do need to replace a veneer, the process is just as simple and painless.
Natural-looking
Many people choose porcelain veneers to address cosmetic problems such as crooked teeth, chipped or broken teeth, minor misalignment issues, and discoloration. While composite resin can correct these problems, it cannot match porcelain’s durability, strength, or appearance. Porcelain veneers are natural-looking, translucent materials that reflect light like tooth enamel. They are also highly stain-resistant. If you take good care of your teeth and get regular dental check-ups, your veneers can last for decades.
Custom-made
Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded to the front teeth to create a beautiful smile. These strong restorations are often alternatives to crowns and can be used to correct various dental conditions. Unlike many cosmetic treatments, porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant. When properly cared for, they can last for decades. The best candidates for porcelain veneers are people with good oral health and enough natural tooth enamel to support the restorations. However, they are only appropriate for some, and some may need to replace their veneers.
Affordable
Many people hesitate to get veneers because they believe they’ll be expensive. However, when you consider how affordable it is to make your smile a whole new story, it’s worth investing in. The process typically takes about two visits to your dentist. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare the teeth receiving veneers by removing and reshaping enamel. Depending on your comfort level, anesthesia may be needed, but only sometimes. Then, your dentist will take high-definition dental impressions of the affected teeth. Your veneers will be sent to the lab for fabrication.
Even though veneers are made from advanced porcelain ceramics, they are still not as strong as your natural teeth. Therefore, you must avoid chewing on pencils, ice, or hard foods to prevent them from cracking.
