Dental Veneers- Does Your Smile Need A Little Boost?
Dental veneers are a form of cosmetic dentistry in which a thin layer of tooth shaded
porcelain is placed over the front surfaces of your teeth, in order to improve your smile. Dental veneers will create a brighter more youthful smile. Rest assured, you can smile with confidence.
When are Veneers Appropriate?
Dental veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues including worn enamel, wear and tear, genetics and uneven teeth. Over time, the thin, hard, white substance covering your teeth called enamel, may become worn, dulled and discolored. This wear and discoloration may be a natural occurrence, or the result of a genetic predisposition.
Some people are born with teeth that are more yellow than others, while others have teeth that yellow with age. Your natural tooth color can also be affected by an array of other factors including:
*Tobacco
*Drinking tea, coffee, or red wine
*Eating highly pigmented foods such as cherries and blueberries
*Accumulation of tartar deposits, which result from plaque that has hardened
*Yellowing or graying of the teeth as part of the aging process
*Trauma to the teeth that may result in the death of the tooth's nerve
What do Dental Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by wear and tear, by an injury, or as a result of a root-canal procedure, and are ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth. Patients with gaps between their front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn may consider porcelain veneers as a solution to their teeth. Veneers are also routinely used to fix the following:
*Teeth that are discolored either because of root canal treatment, or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth.
*Teeth that are worn down
*Teeth that are chipped or broken
*Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
*Teeth with gaps between them
