You have probably heard about porcelain veneers but may not completely understand what they are or the benefits they offer. If you are someone who wants a dramatic smile makeover, this cosmetic treatment may be just what you have been looking for. Speak with your dentist about whether they work for you and, in the meantime, become familiar with this solution that can guide you toward a stunning smile.
What Is A Veneer?
A veneer is a super-thin ceramic shell. Rather than covering your entire tooth like a dental crown, it will cover and camouflage the visible portion of your tooth. Your dentist will bond the shell directly to your tooth. The purpose of a veneer is to create the appearance of the tooth that you want. With the help of impressions sent to a dental lab and the artwork of a master ceramicist, you can choose the new look of your teeth, including their whiteness, shape, size, and length.
What To Expect
Your dentist may need to prepare your teeth for veneers for an immaculate fit. For patients with minimal aesthetic damage, prep may not be necessary. However, if it is, your dentist will smooth away a minimal portion of your tooth tissue (the outermost layer only). He will then bond the veneer to your tooth permanently. You can expect your treatment to require approximately two visits. As long as you brush and floss regularly while avoiding abrasive toothpaste, your veneers may last for many years.
The Exciting Benefits of Veneers
Choosing porcelain veneers provides patients with a wonderful array of benefits. Look over the following ways veneers may improve your smile and quality of life:
- Veneers camouflage problems like cracks and chips
- You may fill spaces between teeth without bonding or the use of braces
- Your smile may appear more aligned and uniform
- You may achieve a whiter smile
- The finished product will appear gorgeous and natural
- You may improve the appearance of awkwardly shaped teeth
