10 Reasons To Choose Dental Veneers. Are You Looking For A Smile Makeover?

Patients looking for a fast and effective transformation may be interested in treatments like veneers. Veneers are one of the options available to patients who want to quickly improve their smiles.

If you have crooked, discoloured, chipped, cracked or thinning enamel on your teeth, then veneers can help. Many common aesthetic issues can easily be addressed with veneers.

Dental veneers can be used to correct a number of problems, allowing you to smile with confidence again. These thin shells of porcelain can also help to protect the underlying tooth structure by providing support and courage. If you have lost tooth enamel, veneers can help to protect against further damage.

Here are 10 reasons why dental veneers may be the perfect solution for you:

Hide staining

Tooth discolouration can be a serious issue for some people and really affect their confidence. Serious staining can be difficult to minimise in which case dental veneers offer an ideal solution. Fitted over the tooth, porcelain dental veneers will cover any staining, leaving you with a bright, natural-looking smile.

If teeth whitening has been ineffective for you in the past, veneers offer a path forward. If you have discoloration related to damage to the tooth, or if your discoloration is linked to over-whitening or medication, veneers can help to achieve a brighter and whiter smile without the waiting.

Smooth out uneven teeth

Minor imperfections in the alignment of your teeth can sometimes be a major concern, becoming a focus every time you look in the mirror or see a photograph of yourself.

Rather than allow your confidence to be dented by concerns about the appearance of your teeth, speak to your Bhandal dentist about a solution. Dental Veneers offer a quick and effective solution for many issues, including misaligned teeth.

Replace crowns

While dental crowns serve an excellent purpose in protecting a broken tooth, you may be conscious of their appearance. If this is the case, dental veneers can be used as an alternative.

Crowns are more invasive and more of the tooth surface needs to be removed to make space. With dental veneers, only a small amount of the tooth surface needs to be removed in order to achieve a stunning transformation.

If you are looking for a full smile makeover, veneers are always recommended over the use of individual crowns for each tooth.

Cover over cracks and chips

Accidents happen and cracks and chips can affect the appearance of teeth without causing any problems – remaining as a cosmetic concern. However, at Blackheath Dental Practice we understand that the visibility of cracks and chips can be a problem. Dental veneers are an excellent way to mask over these imperfections.

If you have chips or cracks in your smile, it can damage your confidence as your smile will look uneven. This can also leave your teeth vulnerable to damage and decay. By covering chips and cracks with dental veneers, you can protect your teeth against further damage.

Fast results

Dental veneers offer a way to make changes to your teeth in a short space of time, with the time from consultation to fitting often being within four weeks. This would be much quicker than alternative treatment such as orthodontics, which could take up to 2 years to complete the treatment plan.

If you’re looking for a fast transformation that addresses the aesthetics of your smile, rather than the function of your smile, veneers offer an excellent way forward.

Easy to maintain

As dental veneers are fixed to the teeth permanently there is no extra work involved in maintaining them – in fact porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining, which makes keeping your teeth looking good easy. Just follow the basic rules of dental hygiene by brushing twice a day.

Dental veneers can help to remedy a number of concerns about the appearance of your teeth including shape, size and staining.

Long-lasting restoration

With good care, dental veneers can last for a long time. In some cases, it could be up to 15 years before you have to think about replacing or repairing your dental veneers. This makes it a highly cost-effective treatment when you consider the lifetime cost of this.

If you are thinking about veneers, you need to keep in mind that this is a permanent restoration. This means that you will always have to wear a veneer once you have chosen this treatment plan. Your teeth will be prepared to support the veneer, so you won’t be able to go back to simply not having a veneer.

Simple and pain-free procedure

The process of fitting veneers is very simple and not a scary process. Most veneers can be fitted in two or three visits. During the first visit, your dentist prepares your teeth and takes impressions to create your veneer.

The veneer is created in a lab according to your design preferences. For example, you could choose the shade of the veneer, or match it to your surrounding teeth. Finally, we permanently fix the veneer in place and check that it fits correctly.

Veneers resist staining

While your natural teeth might absorb stains from the food and drink that you enjoy, veneers are not the same. They will resist staining, allowing you to enjoy a brighter and whiter smile without worrying about what you eat.

This can help to reduce the amount you have to spend on treatments like teeth whitening, which can be damaging to your teeth if you use it too often. By opting for veneers, you can keep your teeth looking beautiful without the use of teeth whitening.

Enjoy better oral health

We have found that patients who invest in their smiles are more likely to enjoy better oral health. When you take the important step to invest in your smile, you are more likely to take pride in your teeth, and this usually means committing to daily brushing and flossing.

There’s little sense in paying for veneers if you are going to neglect the teeth below them, so we find that every cosmetic dental procedure actually helps our patients to pay closer attention to their overall oral health.
