Seemingly minor teeth imperfections can have an undeniable impact on the appearance of your smile. If you have gaps, discoloration, cracks, chips, or any other cosmetic flaw, consider dental veneers to correct these issues.
Veneers fall in the category of cosmetic dentistry because the treatment isn’t essential for dental health. Instead, the placement of veneers is designed to improve the appearance of the teeth. These ceramic coverings are excellent for hiding minor cosmetic imperfections quickly and easily.
Many imperfections can be covered up with dental teeth veneers. These are some of the common reasons why patients choose to invest in a smile makeover with veneers:
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain layers placed over the front, visible area of the teeth.
Placement of tooth veneers requires two appointments. First, your teeth need to be prepared. Then, we create custom veneers that will bond to your teeth during your second appointment.
For more information about cosmetic veneers, reach out to our team at Schaumburg Tooth Doctor. We are happy to schedule a consultation and help you decide on the ideal cosmetic treatments to create your desired smile.
The recommendations vary depending on your unique needs. For example, cosmetic dentists often suggest porcelain veneers because they can correct more cosmetic issues than bonding.
Tooth preparation for veneers is irreversible, so you will wear veneers for the rest of your life. If a veneer cracks, then it will need to be replaced. Most veneers last 5 – 10 years before they need to be replaced.
The tooth under the veneer is subject to decay, so it’s essential to maintain consistency with your brushing and flossing habits. Additionally, avoid anything that could damage the veneers, such as chewing on pens, ice, or fingernails.
Patients with extensive tooth decay aren’t good candidates for dental veneers. Additionally, veneers might not be the best option if you clench or grind your teeth since these issues can damage the veneers.
