If you’ve ever wondered why so many of your favorite movie stars seem to have perfect smiles, it probably has a lot to do with veneers. Cosmetic dental treatments have allowed millions of people to achieve more ideal smiles, and veneers are one of the most versatile ways to reshape teeth into more beautiful states. Here’s a brief list of some of the benefits that come with veneers to help you make an informed decision.
Veneers Conceal Dental Flaws
Veneers are thin shells made from porcelain or ceramic that are designed to fit over teeth to conceal flaws like chips, cracks, and stains. In some cases, they can be used to reshape a smile into a better alignment without orthodontic treatments. Concealing these flaws can give a patient a smile they can be proud of, which will probably make them want to show it off more. Smiling frequently can make one seem more friendly, confident, and approachable, which can help open all sorts of opportunities in the working world and the social scene.
Veneers Look and Feel Natural
Teeth that have been treated with veneers are indistinguishable from teeth that are completely natural. This is because dentists color-match veneers to their patients’ teeth using special tools, meaning that you won’t have to worry about friends or casual observers noticing that you have had cosmetic dental work unless you tell them. They also feel completely natural in the mouth so patients can feel completely comfortable when wearing them.
Veneers Are Easy to Care For
Veneers are durable and lifelike restorations that only require the same oral hygiene routine as natural teeth to stay healthy. While veneers are immune to tooth decay, the teeth that wear them are not, and a veneer will have to be removed if its tooth develops cavities. While a new veneer can be placed after the infection is treated, practicing excellent dental care can allow you to avoid the problem entirely.
Veneers are a minimally invasive treatment that can completely transform a smile. Consulting with your dentist can help determine if veneers are a suitable course of treatment for you.
