Dental Veneers
Your smile is one of the first things people notice when they meet you. Sometimes, however, your teeth have deteriorated over time and you no longer enjoy smiling with all your teeth. If your teeth need a little correction to make your smile shine, dental veneers may be the ideal solution.
These thin porcelain, ceramic or composite shells are specially designed to treat a variety of aesthetic and physical problems, offering a near-perfect enhancement of your smile. Whether you want to repair a damaged tooth, improve color or harmonize the alignment of your teeth, dental veneers can be a good option.
Roles and benefits of dental veneers
Dental veneers offer many advantages, both aesthetically and in terms of maintaining good oral health. In addition to these benefits, they also play a number of roles.
Find out which ones.
What are dental veneers used for?
Versatile, they transform your smile and strengthen your oral health. They're ideal for restoring broken, damaged, cracked or decayed teeth, as well as for brightening and evening out tooth shade.
And with veneers, you can widen a narrow smile to match your face and reduce the visibility of your gums, if necessary. They can also correct small or pointed teeth and treat slight gaps in your dentition, providing ideal symmetry.
The benefits of using dental veneers
Dental veneers promise a flawless smile, and they keep that promise beautifully. They quickly strengthen a slightly weakened tooth and are designed to last. By preserving the healthy structure of your teeth, they avoid the need for more extensive treatment and, depending on the material they're made from, are stain- and impact-resistant. The best part? They're less invasive than other restoration options. Choosing dental veneers means opting for a win-win solution, without the hassle of complicated treatments.
Can anyone get dental veneers?
Unfortunately, dental veneers are not suitable for everyone. To be eligible for this cosmetic dentistry treatment, your teeth must meet certain criteria, such as being free of major cavities or gum disease, and have sufficient enamel to allow the veneers to adhere. In the former cases, however, it is possible to treat the pathologies first before fitting veneers.
Certain conditions can also compromise the effectiveness of dental veneers. If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) or clench your teeth often, veneers may crack or come loose. It's also very important to maintain a good oral hygiene routine, as otherwise the longevity of your veneers will be compromised. What's more, in the presence of major structural problems, such as severe decay, gum disease or badly damaged teeth, dental veneers are not recommended. In such cases, more invasive yet highly effective treatments may be considered, such as root canal therapy, dental implants and crowns.
