Dental veneers can create a durable and pleasing smile even on top of discolored, misshapen or chipped teeth. Are dental veneers a good option for you?

Dental veneers are thin composite resin shells that are custom designed to fit over one’s teeth. These veneers look and feel like real teeth, providing an attractive, white smile.

You might want to consider veneers that create a durable and pleasing smile even on top of discolored, misshapen or chipped teeth.

Here are several reasons why dental veneers are good for a great, healthy-looking smile.

Veneers Present An Easy Way To Whiten Your Smile

Living the easy life, drinking unlimited cups of coffee and tea, and smoking cigarettes can leave one’s teeth very badly stained.

There are some cases where teeth-whitening might not be a very good option, such as where dental irregularities exist.

Dental veneers offer an easy, simple way to quickly achieve a bright white smile. They are stain-resistant, so you don’t need to worry about getting them whitened eventually.

Veneers Can Fix Minor Cosmetic Irregularities

Suppose you suffer from crooked teeth or teeth with unsightly gaps in between. You can get these treated with orthodontic treatments or dental braces, but veneers can also help with such problems.

Veneers don’t change your natural teeth’s positions; all they do is camouflage minor orthodontic problems once they’re applied to the fronts of your teeth.

Your natural teeth will remain as they were but nobody will know the true state of your teeth other than you and your dentist.

Note though, that if orthodontic treatment is required, you cannot just opt for veneers and avoid the treatment.

Veneers Can Replace Damaged Enamel

Veneers are a way to replace damaged enamel where the enamel has suffered abrasion or erosion. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry states that veneers not only perform the duty of providing a strong replacement to damaged enamel, they are also aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

Enamel tends to wear down over the years, due to overzealous brushing, acidic foods and drinks, and reflux disease in some cases.

Damaged enamel doesn’t grow back which is why veneers can be a blessing.

Veneers Boost Patient’s Confidence

For those suffering from unsightly stained teeth, tooth gaps and misshapen teeth, veneers offer the most benefit.

They can camouflage all the natural unsightliness and present a smooth, bright exterior to the world.

For a person who’s always had to keep his or her mouth closed all the time, it’s a great feeling to be able to smile and interact openly.

The advantage of using veneers is that they’re cleverly molded to one’s teeth – it’s nearly impossible to say if someone’s wearing veneers.

Veneers Are Low Maintenance

Veneers are bonded to your natural teeth, no matter what form the natural tooth is in.

There’s no need for additional drilling or shaping in most cases.

Then again, you don’t need to do any special maintenance as well. Just brush your veneers as you’d brush your natural teeth, and yes, don’t forget to floss.

You can drink tea and coffee without worrying that the veneer will lose its color.

It Doesn’t Take Long To Get A Bright White Smile

It takes a very short period of time to get a beautiful, bright smile when you opt for veneers. A couple of sessions of an hour and a half will do.

At the end of it, you’ll have an incredible smile. Your veneers will give your smile the appearance bright white natural teeth.

Veneers last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, so they are very durable as well.

They Look Very Realistic

Veneers, no matter what kind you obtain, look very realistic once applied to your teeth. They have many similarities to your teeth’s natural enamel, and because of this, they appear realistic and very natural.

It’s not easy for people to recognize you’re wearing veneers and after some time, even you’ll forget you’re wearing veneers.

They Are Versatile And Durable

You can choose the color as per your desired end result. If you want your veneers to look as close as possible to your natural teeth, opt for a more natural color.

If you want them to look bright white, choose a bright white color. They are versatile when it comes to color and shape and flexible application.

Also, they are very durable, lasting for about 15 years, especially porcelain veneers. You can also choose very durable veneers if you don’t plan on updating them after a few years.

Veneers do not require extensive shaping to your teeth, as is the case with crowns.

In fact, modern ultra-thin veneers don’t need any shaping at all to one’s teeth.

Conclusion

It’s a good idea to opt for veneers especially if you need your appearance fixed within a very short time. For example, if you’re going to appear in public, giving a speech or getting married, a quick application of veneers will sort your needs much faster than any other treatment.

Ask your dentist whether dental veneers are a viable option for you.
