You may look at other people who have attractive smiles and feel like yours doesn’t compare. Having perfect teeth can help improve your confidence, but how can you achieve it? There are many different types of cosmetic treatments that help fix imperfections that bug you. You may even get lost in deciding which one to choose!
One option you have is veneers. You’ll only need one treatment to get a bright grin that will last over a decade. If you’re considering this cosmetic dental work, here’s how veneers can benefit you and what happens before you can flash new pearly whites.
What Can Veneers Do for My Smile?
Veneers continue to be one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments in modern times thanks to their ability to transform a smile with ease. Some ways veneers can benefit you are:
- Offer a Flawless Smile: This cosmetic treatment is crafted from dental porcelain, which can reflect light in the same way your natural teeth do. Once they are in place, they blend in seamlessly!
- Fix Multiple Issues at Once: Whether it’s chips, cracks, or gaps, veneers can easily cover them. They are placed in front of the teeth to mask any imperfections.
- Improve Self-Confidence: If you feel self-conscious about your grin, it may make you want to hide it as much as possible. These flaws may stop you from smiling widely in photos or laughing with a group, but veneers can cover what you may not like. They can give you a fuller smile so you can be proud of your pearly whites and show them off.
- Durable: The porcelain in veneers is very strong. Despite being thin shells, they can easily last you over 10 years with proper oral care. Also, they are more resistant to stains than natural tooth enamel.
What to Expect When Getting Veneers
Before your dentist gives you veneers, they want to ensure that your oral health is good by checking for any cavities or other issues, as these can negatively impact the treatment. After that is all taken care of, it is usually a two-appointment process.
During your first appointment, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth. This is to help the veneers sit flush with your smile and not look bulky. Next, impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab! Each veneer you receive is customized to match perfectly with the rest of your pearly whites. As the permanent set is being crafted, you will get fitted with some temporary ones.
After just a few weeks, your veneers will be ready. During your second appointment, your dentist will place each one, and then you can walk away with a new smile!
Many people want to enhance their teeth, but with so many options, it can be easy to get confused about which one is best for you. Veneers are a commitment, but you can enjoy their benefits for years to come. You can always discuss this cosmetic treatment with your dentist, and they can help you determine if it’s the right fit for your smile.
