Are you bothered by imperfections that litter your smile? The good news is that there are all sorts of different cosmetic solutions out there that can help you achieve the smile of your dreams. One option that is especially popular for celebrities is veneers due to their ability to cover up aesthetic flaws and their other numerous advantages. Continue reading to learn more ways that you can benefit from veneers.
Fixes Many Issues
The great thing about dental veneers is that they can fix all sorts of problems. Whether you have a couple of chipped teeth, discoloration, misshapen or undersized teeth, or small gaps, veneers are a quick and easy solution. These thin shells of porcelain can camouflage a wide array of different cosmetic imperfections.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
When compared to other dental restoration options, veneers are minimally invasive. After you have your first consultation where your dentist will determine that you are a good candidate, they will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of your protective enamel. Impressions will then be taken and sent off to a dental laboratory to make your veneers. During your final appointment, they will be adhered to your teeth, and you will have the smile you’ve dreamed of.
Have a Natural Appearance
One thing many people worry about when they consider getting cosmetic treatment done is whether or not others will be able to spot it. You want changes made to your smile to improve your appearance, but you don’t want it to be obvious to other people just by glancing at you. Veneers may take a couple of appointments, but you will end up with a perfectly natural result. The veneers are custom-made for each patient in order to match the exact size, shape, and color needed for a gorgeous final outcome.
Long-Lasting Option
Veneers are bonded to your teeth and resist both decay and stains better than your real teeth. This is because they are non-porous. When you care for them properly, they can last between 15 years or even longer before needing to be replaced.
Easy to Maintain
When it comes to caring for your veneers, it is not much different than taking care of your natural teeth. You will need to continue brushing twice and flossing at least once every day. Regular checkups and cleanings are also necessary in order to maintain excellent oral health.
If you’re looking for the perfect way to make over your smile, ask your dentist about veneers. You will be showing off the smile of your dreams in no time!
