There are more options than ever before to address common aesthetic flaws, but one treatment continues to rank among the most popular year after year. Veneers can turn the smile of your dreams into reality, but are they right for you? Here are 5 reasons to consider investing in veneers.
1. Fix Many Issues at Once
A veneer can be applied to a single tooth to enhance its color, size, and shape. However, bonding them to the teeth visible when smiling corrects many issues simultaneously. You won’t need multiple or lengthy procedures to reach your goals. You can say goodbye to stains, chips, and gaps using just one procedure.
2. Look and Feel Natural
Veneers are made of porcelain because it closely mimics enamel. It also allows them to be thinner, so they don’t feel heavy or bulky. Each veneer is carefully crafted to meet your exact specifications to fit your teeth like gloves. It may take a couple of days to adjust to them, but in no time at all, you may soon forget they aren’t part of your natural teeth.
3. Quick, Minimally Invasive Process
You don’t have to worry about a complex treatment plan. In as few as 2 appointments, you can have a flawless smile using a minimally invasive method. Since porcelain allows veneers to be thinner, less enamel is removed during the etching process to preserve your teeth.
4. Cost-Effective Option
Although veneers are associated with being expensive, you don’t have to be rich or famous to revamp your smile. Veneers are a cost-effective solution because you won’t have to pay for several procedures to fix multiple issues.
5. Long-Lasting Results
Veneers are meant to provide long-lasting results. The average lifespan of a veneer is about 10 years, but it’s not uncommon for them to last for decades with the right care. You won’t need to budget for replacements often if you commit to good oral hygiene habits and regular appointments with your dentist.
Are You a Candidate for Veneers?
If veneers sound like an option that may be right for you, it’s time to schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist. They’ll examine your mouth and learn more about your concerns to create a personalized plan to improve your smile. Veneers can be the perfect solution to treat:
- Stains and discoloration
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Shorter than average teeth
- Gaps between teeth
You must have healthy teeth and gums before any elective procedures, including veneers. Don’t worry if you need a little prep work, like a dental cleaning or gum disease treatment. It’s time well-spent to ensure your dazzling smile lasts for a decade or more.
