In cases where there may be too many aesthetic flaws that mar your smile to know where to start, dental veneers may be the ideal solution. This treatment has the ability to address a number of cosmetic concerns at once, allowing patients a more streamlined journey to a transformed smile. If you’ve been going back and forth about scheduling a consultation to start the dental veneer process, read below for five reasons to not delay any longer.
Natural-Looking & Feeling Results
Veneers are directly adhered to your natural teeth and are custom-created to look and feel 100 percent lifelike (although you may undergo a short adjustment period). In fact, the preparatory part of the treatment, where the cosmetic dentist removes a small amount of tooth enamel, makes it so that your veneers lie flush with any existing teeth. This also aids in the natural look and feel of your results.
Versatility: Concealing Stains, Chips, and Gaps
One of the greatest benefits of veneers and a top reason why it’s such a popular cosmetic treatment is because of its versatility. Unlike other treatments, like teeth whitening, that only address one type of imperfection, veneers can erase several different cosmetic flaws that affect your smile. Once the veneers are cemented atop your prepared teeth, they’ll be able to close gaps, conceal chips and stains, and even address minor dental misalignment.
Low Maintenance
Once your veneers are adhered to your teeth, they’re incredibly easy to maintain. Simply take care of them like you would your natural teeth by brushing for at least two minutes twice a day, flossing daily, rinsing with antimicrobial mouthwash, and visiting your dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning.
Stain-Resistant Materials
Typically, dental veneers are made from stain-resistant materials like porcelain. This means that you won’t have to worry about consuming coffee, red wine, or other stain-causing beverages and foods and having them re-stain your grin. While stain-resistance will preserve the color of your veneers for longer, they will eventually
Long Lifespan Means a Great Investment
Dental veneers can last for 25 years or more with good dental hygiene and maintenance, making them an excellent long-term investment! Although they have a higher up-front cost than a number of other cosmetic treatments, you’re financially investing in a transformation that will last for decades.
