Dental veneers are thin-as-wafer shells which are custom made by your dentist to cover the front portion of the teeth to help you have a beautiful smile. They are made from porcelain or resin composite substances. Why would you want to wear dental veneers? If you have any of the following, you may be a candidate for veneers.
–If your teeth are discolored, whether from stains on the tooth’s surface from taking certain medications, having a root canal, too much fluoride (fluorosis), or large fillings that have darkened the tooth
–If your teeth are worn down
–If your teeth are chipped
–If your teeth are misaligned or have a disfiguring shape
–If your teeth have gaps between them
Dental veneers can give you the natural looking smile you have been desiring. Porcelain veneers are compatible with gum tissue and resist staining. It can even make the tooth appear whiter than it was. Veneers also have the added benefit of changing a tooth’s color and shape without invasive treatment. And finally, veneers typically last from 5-10 years. All you have to do to care for them as you do your own teeth, with faithful brushing, flossing, and rinsing with a mouthwash as needed.
