Veneers can completely transform your smile. They are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. Veneers are a great option because they are minimally invasive, easy to care for and look completely natural.

Veneers can correct a variety of cosmetic issues, including discoloration, small gaps between teeth, and misshapen teeth.

How Are Veneers Applied?

Your dentist will first perform a cosmetic dentistry consultation and examination. This will help the dental team understand the changes you’d like to see in your smile, as well as help the team in determining if you are a good candidate for veneers.

Once you decide to move forward, the dentist will then prepare your teeth. This involves removing a small amount of enamel, usually less than a millimeter, from your tooth’s surface. This is necessary to give the veneers enough teeth to bond to. Then, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental laboratory where they will be fabricated.

Once your veneers are ready, the dentist will check them to make sure they fit properly. Then, the veneer will be cemented onto your tooth. Veneers can last for many years with proper care.

What Are the Benefit of Veneers?

Veneers offer numerous benefits, such as:

• Veneers offer an improved appearance. If you have cracked, chipped, or stained teeth, veneers can mask these issues. 
• They are also sometimes a great alternative to teeth whitening.
• Veneers are stain-resistant, allowing you to maintain a beautiful bright smile. 
• Regular brushing and flossing habits can help prevent staining.
• Veneers are durable.
• The veneer covers the front of your tooth, protecting it from damage. 
• The veneer is also resistant to decay, so you won’t have to worry about your veneer getting cavities.

Why should I consider veneers?

Veneers can help your smile in several ways.

If your teeth have a number of cosmetic flaws, you may not feel confident about your smile. Veneers cover the front surface of your teeth, so even if your smile has imperfections, they can hide them. Veneers can also close small gaps between your teeth, which can make your teeth look straighter. Plus, veneers are stain-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about stains affecting your smile.
