You must have probably wondered how celebrities have the perfect smile.
It’s no surprise that many of us look to celebrities for inspiration. Their radiant, flawless smiles are often the result of expertly crafted veneers.
What are Veneers?
A veneer is a very thin shell or layer of tooth coloured porcelain or composite. It is placed over the outer portions of your teeth to create an illusion of perfect, shiny teeth.
It is generally done when a tooth has been damaged by decay or accident or has become discoloured due to some reason.
Veneers are not a permanent solution to your damaged teeth; they will just cover the imperfections.
They are cosmetic in nature and function to improve your smile and most importantly work by camouflaging or hiding any cosmetic flaws.
Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth that are:
Chipped or broken
Stained or worn out
Crooked or misshapen
Veneers also can mask the gaps in your smile.
Veneers can range in both cost and durability. Porcelain veneers are generally stronger and last longer, but they come with a much higher price tag. Resin-based composite veneers are more affordable but do not last as long and may break more easily.
Veneers aren’t for everyone, but they have distinct advantages and disadvantages that can help you make the right choice to best fit your needs.
Veneers can help people achieve whiter, more even looking teeth. This can help to boost confidence while still blending with their natural tooth color and disguising discolored, chipped, or cracked teeth. They’re better at resisting stains than natural enamel, and don’t require extra maintenance either. They can last 10–15 years with the correct aftercare.
While some enamel removal is often necessary, a dentist doesn’t need to remove as much as other dental procedures may require.
Now you know the secret, So let’s debunk or clear any doubts regarding veneers
Are Veneers Permanent?
Yes they are with proper maintenance and hygiene and regular visits and checkups with your trusted dentist.
Do Veneers make my teeth too white?
Not necessarily, Colour and shade selection of veneers is done with consideration in mind to natural teeth and how much it improves your smile.
Are there any side effects to getting veneers?
Not usually, Little sensitivity might be there but nothing that can’t be controlled.
