Do you think your smile is less-than-perfect? You aren’t alone, as many people hide their grin because of flaws. Whether it’s chips, stains, or minor gaps, you may be left wondering just what you can do about them. The good news is your dentist is here to help you get the set of teeth you dream of with dental veneers! They offer a dramatic transformation that a lot of patients love. It’s normal to be on the fence about them, so here are three benefits of this cosmetic treatment.
1.) Fixes Many Flaws at the Same Time
A reason that people get veneers is because of how effective they are at fixing imperfections. They are thin shells that bond to the front of your teeth, so any stains, chips, and the like get hidden behind them. In just about two appointments (not counting the consultation), your smile transforms into something beautiful that doesn’t have flaws anymore
2.) Lifelike and Durable Results
After your dentist gives you the green light for veneers, the first visit is preparing your teeth for them. They remove a thin layer of your enamel, so the shells sit flush against the rest of your teeth. This helps ensure that they don’t look big or bulky.
Then, your dentist takes impressions and sends them to a dental lab, which creates each veneer out of a high-quality material that looks like enamel and is very durable. They are typically made from porcelain or ceramic, both of which can reflect light like natural teeth.
When your permanent set is ready, it’s bonded with a strong cement, giving you results that look great. Better yet, they can last for up to 15 years with proper care and are more resistant to staining than enamel.
3.) Improved Confidence
With a renewed smile, you’ll be able to show off pearly whites! Many people feel confident after their treatment, as the cause of their self-consciousness is now gone! You might even find yourself being more open to laughing and talking with those around you.
If you are hesitant to get veneers, remember these benefits of them! They are a commitment, but they are an investment that can last for years to come with proper care. They are just one of many cosmetic treatments that can give you an aesthetic set of teeth. By choosing one, you can go from hiding away your smile to wanting to show it off!
