Dental veneers are a popular and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. They offer many benefits, including improved aesthetics and better oral health, making them an attractive option for those looking to enhance their smile.
What are dental veneers?
Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite
material that are bonded to cover the front surface of your teeth. By covering
any imperfections in your natural teeth such as chips, cracks, discoloration or
misshapenness they can dramatically improve the look of your smile by enhancing
its color and shape.
How long do dental veneers last?
They’re durable enough to last up to 15 years with proper
care making them a great long-term investment in improving your smile’s
aesthetic appeal.
What are some benefits of dental veneers?
In addition to providing aesthetic improvements, dental
veneers also provide other important benefits for oral health. For example,
because they bond directly onto the tooth enamel it creates an extra layer of
protection against decay which helps prevent cavities from forming on
vulnerable areas such as near existing fillings or crowns where bacteria can
easily enter through microscopic gaps between restorations and natural enamel
surfaces causing decay over time without this added layer of protection
provided by veneers. This makes them especially helpful for people who have
weakened enamel due to genetics or certain medical conditions like acid reflux
disease (GERD). Furthermore, since it covers small imperfections at the site
where plaque often accumulates it reduces chances you will develop gum disease
caused by bacterial buildup along these sites which is another major benefit
associated with using dental veneers. Lastly, while some may think that having
dental work done could be painful, getting dental veneers is actually quite
comfortable. It typically requires just one or two visits during which
anesthesia may be used so that patients do not experience discomfort during
placement.
Do dental veneers make your teeth sensitive?
Most individuals report feeling only minor sensitivity
following placement but no pain whatsoever.
Overall, there are many advantages associated with getting
dental veneer whether for cosmetic reasons or to protect vulnerable areas from
further damage due to decay. From improved aesthetics and durability lasting up
to fifteen years all the way down to increased comfort levels during treatment
– there really isn't anything bad about investing in dental veneers! So, if you
are looking for ways of improving your smile then consider dental veneers.
