People Get Dental Veneers For Many Reasons

In previous posts, we have discussed the versatility of veneers. It’s one of the reasons they remain among the most popular cosmetic services at our office and across the country.

Veneers can to more than improve your smile. For many people, veneers can give you the smile of your dreams — and they already have for many of our patients.

It’s a fact of life that we put our teeth through a lot. Because of this many people end up with chipped or broken teeth. All it takes is biting into the wrong thing or getting distracted at the wrong time, and your smile can be changed.

But your smile doesn’t have to stay that way. You can repair your tooth or teeth with natural-looking, durable dental veneers.

It’s equally true that people with perfect smiles are few and far between.

Many people have diastema, which is the technical term for a gap between teeth. If this makes you feel self-conscious about smiling, veneers can close that space for you.

Lots of people also have crooked or crowded teeth. A set of veneers can conceal them to give you the appearance of someone with a perfectly straight, perfectly aligned smile.

Another common problem that affects many people as they get older is discoloration of their teeth. Stains, illnesses, medications, injuries, and worn-down enamel are all reasons one or more of your teeth may not be as white as you would like.

With veneers, you can have the bright, white smile you want to have.

And one of the best things about veneers is that they can be used to address multiple issues simultaneously. If you come see us soon, you could have a new smile before you carve the Thanksgiving turkey, open a gift from your secret Santa, or ring in the New Year.

 

How Veneers Work

Veneers are a different approach to cosmetic dentistry than some other services.

Professional teeth whitening can be effective at removing stains from your teeth. Orthodontic care will physically push or pull your teeth into new positions.

Veneers don’t change your teeth. Instead, veneers conceal them.

Veneers are sort of like putting a new facade on a building. The structure remains the same, but the outward appearance is made to look more attractive.

Getting veneers starts with an examination to make sure you are a good candidate for this service. Assuming you are, we can remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth. This creates room to bond your veneers in place without changing your profile.

Your veneers are made to fit your teeth, and they can be crafted to make your teeth as white, as straight, and as complete as you want them to be.
