Summer is a great time to update your look, from swimsuits and sundresses, to your most-prized asset, your smile. It is one of the first things people notice about you, and one of the essential elements to feeling confident. Though there are a number of forms of cosmetic dentistry that can help improve your smile, few are as comprehensive, or effective, as porcelain veneers. These offer an outstanding combination of beauty and strength, and can have you looking and feeling your best for many years to come.
Why Is Porcelain So Popular in Cosmetic Dentistry?
Porcelain is much like your teeth’s own natural enamel, in that it is strong, highly stain-resistant, and not prone to chipping. It is also highly customizable, which is why it is commonly used in both veneers and dental crowns.
Not only can porcelain be matched to your ideal shade of teeth, it even has a similar sheen. A skilled craftsman will make your veneers personalized, specifically for you, so that the end result is a natural-looking, just enhanced smile. With proper care, the veneers can last more than a decade.
What Cosmetic Issues Can Veneers Correct?
Veneers are renowned for their ability to address a number of cosmetic issues, such as chips or cracks in otherwise healthy teeth, stains on the surface or embedded in your teeth, as well as discoloration. They can also help to correct small or misshapen teeth, or those with severe wear along or jagged edges. Many patients with minor alignment issues are even able to use veneers to cosmetically correct their smiles. For instance, patients with minor gaps between teeth can opt for veneers instead of long orthodontic treatment.
During an initial consultation your cosmetic dentist can discuss your concerns with your smile, to better understand your motivation behind seeking treatment. A customized plan for enhancement can then be devised, and the measurements taken necessary to have your ideal veneers crafted. Once they are affixed, you can smile confidently, knowing you look and feel your best.
