Dental veneers are thin shell like coverings made from porcelain or composite that are designed to fit on the front of your existing teeth. As such, they don’t actually close spaces between teeth. They cover up those spaces as well as many other dental concerns such as dental stain, broken or chipped teeth, or uneven or misaligned teeth.
Your cosmetic dentist will work with you to determine exactly the look you wish to achieve. Dental veneers are suitable for one or several teeth and they offer your cosmetic dentist the flexibility to match the shape and shade of your existing teeth.
Veneers become a permanent correction that not only improves your appearance by giving you a smile makeover, but at the same time veneers offer protection, durability, and give added strength to treated teeth. And unlike other cosmetic enhancements, placing veneers allows your dentist to remove only a minimal amount of your tooth to apply the veneer making this procedure much less invasive than other cosmetic procedures.
Once your makeover is complete, your dental veneers will be virtually undetectable. The spaces between your teeth will be a distant memory, and your dental transformation will have been completed in a few brief dental visits.
Your dental veneers do not require any special care, however it is generally recommended that caution be taken when biting or chewing hard objects such as ice or sticky foods like caramel. It is important to note that dental veneers are not treatable with whitening products so foods and beverages that stain should be consumed with care.
Good oral hygiene habits of brushing twice per day and flossing daily in addition to twice annual visits to your dentist for a professional cleaning and exam will help keep your teeth and dental veneers looking great for many years.
