Everyone deserves to love their smile. Despite our best efforts to take care of them, wear and tear and dental problems still occur, and this can lead to them looking far less appealing than we would like. If you have imperfections such as discoloration or staining, chips or other marks on the outer face of your teeth, you may feel too embarrassed to smile or do any activity that draws attention to your mouth.
Fortunately, there are cosmetic dentistry procedures that enable patients to address and improve various aspects of their smile. Dental veneers make it possible to completely change the appearance of the outer enamel of your teeth and therefore transform your smile.
Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dental solution that involves applying tooth-colored coverings to the outer surface of your teeth, effectively concealing any imperfections underneath. These custom-designed veneers are tailored to fit each individual tooth precisely, allowing for a seamless and natural-looking result. Whether you require treatment for a single tooth or desire a complete smile makeover, veneers can be ordered singularly or as a full set, providing a comprehensive transformation.
By opting for dental veneers, you can achieve a radiant and flawless smile while simultaneously strengthening and protecting your teeth. Whether you desire to correct a single imperfection or completely rejuvenate your smile, dental veneers offer a versatile and effective solution that can be tailored to your specific needs. Consult with a qualified dentist to explore the possibilities of dental veneers and embark on a journey towards a confident and beautiful smile.
Dental veneers can hide or correct a number of different cosmetic complaints made my patients about the appearance of their teeth. These include:
The process to fit dental veneers is simple. However, it does involve the removal of some of the natural enamel. This is done so that the veneer can be attached properly and doesn’t look too thick or unusual. The removal of the natural enamel is done using a local anesthetic, so you should not feel any pain, just some vibrations while the procedure is in progress. Each veneer can then be fitted, one at a time, and secured with dental cement.
It is important to note that enamel cannot regrow. Therefore, once the removal process has begun you will always need a veneer on those teeth that have been affected. Fortunately, despite their fragile appearance veneers are very strong, and with proper care should last you at least a decade before you require them to be replaced. You should also ensure that you don’t use your teeth as tools, such as for opening cans, or habits such as crunching ice, as these are more likely to cause damage to your veneers that mean they require premature replacement.
