What are Dental Veneers?

An Overview of Dental Veneers

Are you unhappy with the appearance of your teeth? If so, dental veneers may be a possible solution for you. Dental veneers are thin coverings that adhere to the front (visible) part of the tooth and give teeth a more classically shaped look. When considering if dental veneers are right for you, it is important to understand what they are and how they work.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers can be a great way to enhance the aesthetics of your smile and cover any existing damage or staining on your teeth. Veneers are placed over the visible front surface of the teeth and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to ensure a good match with your natural teeth. Porcelain is by far the most popular choice for veneers because it best mimics the light reflecting properties of enamel and is extremely durable. While composite resin is another material used for veneers, it does not have as many advantages and may stain more easily over time compared to porcelain.

How Do Veneers Work?

To get a full understanding of how veneers work, it's important to know the process behind them. Firstly, your dentist will take an impression of your mouth so that a qualified laboratory technician can make sure that your veneer fits perfectly. Once ready, the dentist will bond the veneer with adhesive or bonding agents to keep it firmly in place. To complete the treatment, they'll finish it off with careful shaping and polishing, giving you a flawless smile!

What Are the Benefits of Veneers?

Veneers can provide a great solution to many dental issues, including:

Improving the overall appearance of teeth that are discolored, misshapen or crooked
Covering cracks and chips that have occurred on the tooth surface
Closing gaps between teeth
Whitening teeth that have become stained

Veneers are also a great option for those who want to make their smile look more symmetrical and even without needing braces. They are durable, easy to clean and maintain and offer a long-lasting solution to dental issues. Additionally, they’re safe and do not require any special care.

Are Veneers Right For Me?

If you're tired of feeling like your smile is falling short, veneers might be the right pick for you! Veneers can help your teeth look straighter and healthier, even if factors like genetics or poor dental hygiene have been working against you.

Veneers are paper-thin shells made of ceramic or composite resin that bond to your teeth, hiding common imperfections such as chips, stains, gaps between teeth, and misalignment. If you've unsuccessfully used bleaching products to try and whiten your smile, veneers may give you the cosmetic improvement you desire.
