Veneers have become a buzzword and for good reason. Simple, fast and painless your smile can become movie star perfect in 2 dental visits.
Dental veneers are designed to cover tooth imperfections. They are extremely thin tooth-colored materials that cover tooth imperfections by covering the front surface of the tooth. Dental veneers can correct the appearance of the shape, color, size, and length of a tooth or teeth. Veneers can be made from different materials, but typically they are made from porcelain or resin composite. Porcelain veneers look more like natural teeth and are more stain resistant than veneers made from resin composite.
Dental veneers can effectively correct the appearance of many tooth imperfections. You can easily improve imperfections like discoloration, chipped and broken teeth, gaps, and uneven or oddly shaped teeth with dental veneers. We simply bond dental veneers to the surface of the tooth, effectively covering and improving the appearance of the tooth or teeth. For example, a person who has a gap between two teeth can receive veneers that cover that gap creating a better smile.
Dental veneers require an initial consultation and two additional visits to make the veneers and lastly to apply them.
Dental veneers require no special care or maintenance other than the practice of good oral hygiene. Flossing and brushing just as you would do with your natural teeth is all that’s required. However, there are some things that you should know about dental veneers. You are still able to get cavities if you don’t care for your teeth, even if you have veneers. Veneers are not reversible and if they chip or crack they are not repairable. You may also experience more sensitivity to both hot and cold foods and drinks as a result of the enamel being removed from your teeth. Plus, the veneers may not match your natural tooth coloring. However, on the upside, they have a natural appearance and aren’t irritating to the gums. Veneers usually don’t require a lot of shaping like crowns do but are extremely strong and resilient.
Dental veneers effectively improve the appearance of teeth that may be discolored, chipped, cracked, oddly shaped, and irregularly spaced. Veneers rest securely on top of the surface of the tooth, correcting the problem with natural looking tooth colored materials. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant and have the look and shine of natural teeth in addition to being long-lasting and fairly easy to care for. Veneers are made from impressions of your teeth and attach to the surface of your teeth. They are shaped and adjusted to fit after they have been bonded to the surface of your teeth. They don’t usually require a lot of shaping and contouring and are a strong and natural looking solution for tooth imperfections.
