If you’re looking for a drastic change to your face, veneers might be the right choice for you. Veneers will make incredible improvements to your teeth whiteness and form, giving you a smile you can be comfortable in.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are small, custom shells that match your teeth. The veneers are coated with a high intensity curing light and then cleaned. For maximum esthetic value, the veneers are placed on the front surface of your tooth. That means teeth which look normal and attractive.Crushed, chipped, yellowed, broken down or imperfect teeth may be repaired with veneers. Veneers may also be used to repair wide, unwanted holes between abnormally spaced teeth.
Types Of Veneers
There are different types of veneers to choose from, and with pros and cons to each.
Composite Veneers
During your appointment the composite veneers are applied. Such veneers overcome small beauty complications such as the broken or chipped teeth. Composite veneers can also be used, on occasion to fix mildly crooked teeth and fill in small gaps between the front teeth only.
Composite veneers are more economical than porcelain veneers, so there is shorter treatment duration. Composite veneers are not resistant to scratch, or offer the polished look you’d get from other products like porcelain.
Porcelain Veneers
The transformative effect that porcelain veneers can provide you are incredible. Porcelain veneers will require several appointments to create the ideal smile for you.
Porcelain veneers are tailored to your mouth and desired tooth color and shape. They are also resistant to staining and are ideal for teeth that have mild to severe dental issues, like discoloration or cracks. So, if you are looking for a long-lasting smile, porcelain veneers are the ideal choice for you.
Caring For Your Veneers
You ‘re going to look after your veneers much as your natural teeth should. We recommend you use a non-abrasive, fluoride toothpaste, and dental floss to clean and floss.
Veneers last many years, but at some point, even if you are meticulous in caring for them, you will need to be replaced but with a great oral hygiene routine, you can extend the life of your veneers. We suggest you restrict stain-inducing products such as caffeine, other teas, smoking and other unhealthy practices to maintain your veneers healthy and ensure they survive for several years.
