Dental veneers are a well know cosmetic dentistry treatment people turn to for achieving that “movie star” smile. With just this one treatment, dentists can address a number of common cosmetic dental problems. This fact makes dental veneers one of the most popular cosmetic treatments on the market.
Veneers are custom-made and tooth-colored shells that cover the fronts of teeth aiming to improve their appearance. They are usually applied to the teeth most visible when a person smiles, helping to create a smile uniform in tooth size, shape, and color. There are a few different types, each with unique advantages.
The two most common types of veneers are porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers are the strongest, longest-lasting, and most similar in appearance to natural teeth. They are also more stain resistant. However, they tend to be the most expensive and require the most alteration to natural teeth. On the other hand, composite veneers are more economical but not as long-lasting, stain resistant, or durable. A cosmetic dentist can help determine the most effective type for each patient.
The ability to fix multiple cosmetic issues makes veneers an attractive option for many people looking to makeover their smiles. Veneers can improve smiles in the following ways:
Teeth whitening cannot remedy all types of tooth discoloration. However, veneers can instantly give someone a whiter smile that is uniform in color. In addition, porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
Along with covering discoloration, veneers can hide other tooth imperfections as well. People often choose this treatment to hide cracks, chips, and other visible damage to teeth.
In addition to making teeth uniform in color, veneers can make teeth uniform in size and shape. They can eliminate spaces between teeth as well as fix jagged or uneven teeth.
Veneers offer people a way to make their smiles appear straighter without braces. Those looking to fix minor crookedness may benefit from veneers.
When a disproportionate amount of a person’s gums show when they smile, this is an excessive gingival display. Also known as a gummy smile, this condition can make people self-conscious. Veneers can lengthen the teeth, bringing the smile into proportion.
One must be in good dental health before receiving veneers. Addressing any decay or gum disease issues before pursuing treatment is important. Proper dental care is essential to keeping teeth healthy and extending the life of the veneers. Since dental veneers are considered cosmetic, most dental insurance does not cover them. We encourage patients to check directly with their insurance provider on the specifics of their plan.
