If you desire a more aesthetically pleasing smile, dental veneers are options that you should consider. Veneers are thin, customizable shells created to cover the front sides of the teeth. A dentist will often suggest this option when there are imperfections on the teeth, some of which are covered in this article. Continue reading to learn more.
The following are applications of dental veneers that the dentist might suggest.
Teeth gaps are called diastema and can make people smile less due to a lack of self-confidence. The dentist may suggest placing veneers over the teeth to resize them and cover the gaps. A dental evaluation will be done to ensure that veneers will be enough to cover the gaps. Larger gaps may require braces.
Many options are available for repairing a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth, and veneers are common ones. A dental mishap could occur after a bad fall or a blow to the face. The dentist may recommend veneers depending on the extent of the damage. The veneer is customizable to match the rest of the smile to ensure a natural appearance.
Regular, over-the-counter whitening products do not work for everyone. The changes could be hardly significant to change the smile. For drastic results, it is better to opt for teeth whitening at the dentist’s office or to get dental veneers. When stains are too severe or ingrained to be removed through regular bleaching, dental veneers may be the best alternative to make the teeth look whiter and more uniform.
The teeth tend to wear down or deteriorate with age. However, the teeth will wear down faster in people who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism). Teeth grinding causes the chewing or biting surfaces of the teeth to flatten and become duller. This can cause serious dental issues if the problem is not put in check quickly.
A dental veneer is a great solution for those whose teeth have worn down significantly. Placing veneers will restore the teeth’s shape and form so they can be stable enough for regular dental functions.
Dental veneers can be effective for correcting minor dental alignment issues, such as uneven or irregularly shaped teeth. The dentist can place veneers to correct the size, shape, and color of the teeth to make the smile look more even and aligned. It is considered a quick orthodontic treatment. For extremely misaligned teeth, however, veneers may not be an option.
If you are ready to get a brand-new smile, start the process by contacting the dental office to consult with the general dentist. Dental veneers can make a less-appealing smile more cosmetically pleasing. You may even get a big confidence boost.
