Quick Summary
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the surface of the teeth. You and your dentist select the shade, and only minimal preparation is needed before they are applied. They address discolouration, crooked or worn-down teeth, uneven or misshapen teeth and bite misalignments. Porcelain resists staining and mimics the natural translucency of teeth. With proper care they can last from ten years to a lifetime.
Veneers offer an excellent solution for those dissatisfied with their smiles and seeking a long-lasting improvement. These thin porcelain shells are carefully bonded to the teeth’s surface to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. You and your dentist can select the ideal shade, and only minimal preparation is needed before applying the veneers.
Dental veneers can address a wide range of issues. Some of the most common reasons people choose veneers include:
- Tooth discoloration or staining
- Crooked teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Excessive gum exposure
- Uneven teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Bite misalignments
- Overly sensitive teeth
Regardless of the imperfections you’re looking to conceal, veneers offer several advantages:
- While your natural teeth may appear damaged or unhealthy, veneers can give them a radiant, well-maintained look.
- The porcelain material mimics the natural translucency of teeth, giving veneers a lifelike, glossy appearance.
- Porcelain is highly resistant to stains, ensuring your smile remains bright and white long after the veneers are applied.
- With proper care and application, veneers can last anywhere from ten years to a lifetime.
- No special maintenance is required other than regular brushing and flossing.
- Veneers can boost your confidence by enhancing your smile and improving your self-esteem.
