If you ever look at a celebrity or media personality and wonder why they are lucky enough to have such an amazingly flawless smile, the answer may very well be veneers. These astounding cosmetic dental devices can brighten, reshape, and rebuild troubled teeth and completely transform a smile, but many people may be hesitant to commit to the process since it can be rather intensive. Here’s a quick look at how veneers work and why you may want to consider receiving them.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin sheaths crafted from ceramic materials that mimic the appearance of natural enamel, and they can completely transform a smile by concealing defects such as cracks, chips, stains, gaps, and misshapenness in as few as two appointments. The process begins with the dentist administering an appropriate anesthetic to render the treatment painless, and each restoration is customized to create an ideal version of the patient’s smile. Veneers can last fifteen years or more before needing replacement if they receive excellent care.
Veneers Can Address Many Dental Defects at Once
Placing a single veneer can completely cover a tooth with lifelike dental ceramic, and this can instantly give it a new appearance by concealing all its flaws. If a patient has extensive chips, cracks, stains, gaps, or misshapenness, veneers may be the fastest and most cost-effective way to give them a gorgeous new smile they can be proud of. In some cases, veneers can even be used to address mild dental misalignments by reshaping teeth into straighter positions.
Veneers Can Give You Confidence
People who are proud of their smiles are more likely to show them off, and people who smile frequently are generally seen as more competent, trustworthy, confident, and approachable than those who do not. This can make it much easier to make excellent impressions at work or during social situations, which can set you up for exciting new opportunities such as a new job or a promotion.
Cosmetic dentistry can be a fantastic way to enhance a smile and give a patient confidence. Consulting with your dentist can help you find out if veneers can be right for you.
