Veneers cover up minor damage and esthetic issues with your teeth by bonding thin tooth-colored porcelain shells over your enamel. Veneers blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. Depending on the desired changes, veneers can be achieved with very minimal removal of tooth structure.
Veneers leave you with a long-term natural-looking smile that corrects many of the insecurities that you may have with the appearance of your teeth. Most commonly, veneers are used to correct discoloration, close gaps, fix misalignments, cover chips/cracks, and adjust the shape of teeth.
Veneers are made out of porcelain materials which are durable, stain-resistant, and have a lifespan of up to 15 years. This means you can correct tooth stains and chipped teeth for much longer than other cosmetic treatments such as dental bonding.
They are also versatile in their ability to cover up a variety of cosmetic imperfections, from minor damage and discoloration to changing the entire size and shape of your teeth. Your veneers will not only look like natural teeth, but they will also feel natural.
By improving your smile, you will also improve your confidence, which will leave you with your head held high when you walk into a room. Studies show that people with white straight teeth are perceived to be nicer and more competent than others. Best of all, veneers aren’t high maintenance to care for.
A good candidate for veneers is someone who is in good oral health, has strong and healthy tooth enamel, and wants to improve the cosmetic appearance of their smile. You shouldn’t have any active oral health problems, severe damage, or severe orthodontic problems that you’re trying to correct with veneers. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment and cannot be used as a substitute for restorative treatment on unhealthy teeth.
