People today wish to have a perfect and confident smile. To achieve this goal, cosmetic dentistry offers various options, including dental veneers.
Dental veneers are thin sheets of porcelain placed on the front of the teeth to improve the appearance of the smile. They are ideal for correcting stained, misaligned, worn down, fractured teeth or teeth with spaces between them.
Before veneers are placed, the dentist must assess the health of the teeth and gums. He will also make a mould of the teeth to customise the veneers for each patient. The procedure itself involves grinding down existing teeth to ensure that the veneers fit correctly and sit flush with the other teeth. The veneers are then placed on the teeth using a special adhesive.
Dental veneers are strong and durable, with a long service life. They can also be easily taken care of with good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing. However, it is important to avoid biting hard objects and playing contact sports without adequate mouth protection.
If you want to improve the appearance of your smile, dental veneers may be an ideal option. Consult us to discuss whether this option is right for you.
