The Many Benefits Of Dental Veneers

As you get older you slowly come to realize that teeth really aren’t made to last a lifetime. Most of us will have to visit the dentist sooner or later and be told that we need to put in some dental veneers or better known as porcelain veneers. They are a great way to really give you a brand new, beautiful, white smile. Teeth can easily be chipped, get yellow or stained, get worn out, which is where putting a dental veneer in place can come in handy. Besides looking great there are many other added benefits as well, all of which we will cover below.

Feel Confident!

Having a great smile can really bring your confidence back. Many people with chipped or stained teeth probably feel very insecure about their smile. By getting a dental veneer in places where you need them can really give you that boost of confidence you need!

Strengthen Your Teeth

They are made from porcelain so you know that they will be durable on their own but they also add extra strength and protection to your teeth. You can chow down on just about anything and not have to worry about chipping a tooth.

Perfect Your Smile

You can easily add other treatments in while you are getting veneers put in place. If you want an all over white smile then don’t worry because you can easily whiten your teeth as well as getting porcelain veneers. This is not always an option with some other treatments so it’s good to know what you can and can’t do.

They Last A Long Time

Unlike some other dental treatments, veneers can last a very long time. Most quality veneers will last you up to 10 -15 years which really is a long time. Of course, if you want them to last this long you will need to take care of them properly, so listen to your dentist’s advice on how to care for them after they are in place.

No Down Time

Some surgeries and dental procedures take some time to heal or set properly which is again not a problem for dental veneers. Once the procedure is complete you can feel free to carry on with your daily chores and activities as you were before. This also means you don’t have to take any time off work unless you want to.

Look Natural

Some fillings and caps can look quite fake or may not be the same texture or colour as your teeth. Veneers are made to look like teeth and they can easily be made to match your natural tooth colour so you don’t have to worry about them looking out of place.

Solve Most Problems

Most dental problems can easily be solved with dental veneers and in almost no time at all. They can help people who have stained, cracked, broken, widely spaced, or misaligned teeth. Not to mention that the procedure lasts all of two visits. The first visit to assess the damage and make a mould of your mouth and the second to fit them.

Stain Resistance

Last but not least, porcelain is very, very stain resistant. This means you can go back to drinking and eating whatever you like without having to worry about ruining your veneers.
