Dental Veneers

Do you find yourself smiling with your mouth closed? Do you try to hide your teeth when you talk, eat or laugh? In this day and age, there are so many cosmetic dental procedures available that you should be able to smile confidently. Depending on what kind of results you want, there’s a good chance that you have a few options to consider, and today, we have set out to highlight one of the most popular cosmetic procedures — dental veneers.

What are dental veneers?

Veneers are made of a thin, tooth-colored material that is bonded to the front of your teeth, helping to enhance their appearance. Dental veneers can be used for a variety of dental problems, including stains or discoloration, chips or cracks, gaps, narrow smiles, small teeth, crooked teeth, and misshapen teeth. Dental veneers are almost as strong as natural enamel, and they can help you retain a beautiful smile for a lot longer because they are resistant to discoloration and staining.

There are so many great reasons to choose dental veneers to correct an aesthetic dental problem, however, they’re not the ideal solution for everyone. The good news is that the experts at Grace Dental are dedicated to providing you with the information you need to make the right choices about your dental health. Contact us today to learn more about dental veneers and to find out if they are the right option for you.

Why choose dental veneers?

#1. VENEERS CAN ENHANCE YOUR SMILE.

Regardless of what the problem is that is keeping you from being able to smile proudly and confidently, there’s a good chance that it can be corrected with dental veneers. Dental veneers can be used for almost any dental problem that is affecting the appearance of your smile, and they will allow you to be proud to show off your smile once again. Imagine smiling confidently, instead of feeling like you have to hide your smile or keep your teeth hidden. That confidence is worth its weight in gold!

#2. VENEERS CAN PREVENT THE NEED FOR OTHER, COSTLIER PROCEDURES.

As we mentioned earlier, veneers can be used to correct gaps and crooked teeth, two problems that would otherwise need to be corrected with braces. Not only are braces expensive, but it can take months, if not years, to get the results you want with braces. As long as misalignment or gaps aren’t causing problems that can only be fixed with braces, veneers can get you the result you want without having to get braces. They can also prevent the need for tooth contouring.

#3. VENEERS KEEP YOUR NATURAL TEETH INTACT.

Many cosmetic procedures are much more invasive than dental veneers, requiring tooth replacement or reshaping to get the aesthetic result you want. But with dental veneers, you can enjoy a more beautiful smile while protecting your natural teeth and keeping them intact. Keep in mind that dental veneers do require a small amount of enamel to be removed, but the vast majority of the tooth will remain.

#4. THE PROCEDURE IS EASY AND PAINLESS.

When compared to other cosmetic dental procedures, the dental veneer procedure is a breeze. Other cosmetic procedures can be intensive and painful, but with dental veneers, that simply isn’t the case. Since veneers only require a small amount of enamel to be removed, many people don’t even require anesthesia for the procedure, but the dentist can numb the area if necessary. This makes dental veneers an excellent option for anyone looking to enhance their smile, but who is afraid or wary of any procedures that are too invasive.

#5. DENTAL VENEERS REQUIRE NO RECOVERY TIME.

In addition to the procedure for applying dental veneers being easy and virtually pain-free, you’ll be glad to know that dental veneers require no recovery time. Some cosmetic dental procedures, like dental implants, come with uncomfortable recovery periods, but that isn’t the case with dental veneers. With dental veneers, as soon as the application process is complete, you’ll be able to enjoy your new pearly whites right away.

#6. THE RESULTS YOU GET WITH DENTAL VENEERS ARE LONG-LASTING.

Whether you are choosing dental veneers to correct discoloration, shape, gaps, or anything else, you’ll enjoy long-term results. Typically, veneers last for approximately 10 years. And, since dental veneers are resistant to staining and discoloration, they’ll keep your teeth white and beautiful for a lot longer than teeth whitening.

#7. DENTAL VENEERS CAN BE USED TO CORRECT MULTIPLE AESTHETIC PROBLEMS AT ONCE.

One of the best things about dental veneers is that they are one solution for many different aesthetic dental problems, including discoloration and staining, misshapen teeth, cracks or chips, narrow smiles, gaps, small teeth, and crooked teeth. If, for example, your teeth are discolored and misshapen, you could get them whitened and contoured, but with dental veneers, you can fix both issues with one, simple procedure.
