Veneers: A Beautiful Solution for a Perfect Smile
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance. They’re a popular choice for patients looking to correct issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment. Veneers are designed to match the natural color of your teeth, offering a seamless and natural look. With proper care, they’re durable and long-lasting, providing a quick way to achieve a beautiful, confident smile. Whether you’re looking to brighten your smile or address imperfections, veneers are an excellent option to restore both function and aesthetics.
book onlineHow do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are thin shells applied to the front surfaces of teeth to cover noticeable flaws and adjust alignment. Depending on the type of veneer, a small amount of enamel may need to be removed from the teeth before installation. Veneers can also be used to adjust the thickness of teeth to improve spacing. They are easy to apply and require preparation of the teeth before securing them in place with a strong dental adhesive.
What types of dental veneers are available?
Two main dental veneers are available: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both options are great for improving your smile.
Composite veneers are made in the dentist’s office using tooth-colored resin applied directly to the teeth. They are less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers. Composite veneers can effectively cover many cosmetic problems.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth. A laboratory typically makes them, and they are sent to the dentist’s office for application. Porcelain veneers last longer and provide a more natural look than composite veneers. They can also address more significant cosmetic issues, such as severely stained teeth or teeth that are misaligned.
How long do dental veneers last?
