Being unhappy with your smile’s appearance can affect your self-esteem. If you have misshapen teeth or your smile appears dull, it can lead to low confidence in yourself. You may not want to show off your pearly whites in pictures or when meeting new people. Luckily, your team at Sunny Smiles can help improve your look with our cosmetic dental treatments. Today, we’re here to talk about porcelain veneers.
A Way To Conceal Various Imperfections
This method uses porcelain tooth-shaped shells to cover the problem areas. The shells are thin and made of a highly durable material. This allows your improved look to be long-lasting and stain resistant. Before starting this cosmetic change, your dentist will examine your smile to make sure you are free of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns. If there are any concerns, you will need to have restorations done first. Veneers can only improve visual problems and should not be used to correct damage. Issues like cracked or broken teeth may be repaired with dental crowns instead. Like veneers, crowns are often made of porcelain and offer some visual improvements. However, the main goal of dental crowns is to protect and restore damaged dental structure.
Feel Confident In Your Appearance
Porcelain veneers are a unique cosmetic treatment that can help improve the look of blemishes on your teeth, teeth that appear too small, and other imperfections. Your smile is one of the most prominent features, so it can affect your confidence and self-esteem. When you have various imperfections throughout it, it can make you feel insecure of your appearance. A custom cosmetic improvement like veneers can help correct many different blemishes. This can help you to feel happy, confident, attractive, and more professional. Since this method includes the irreversible step of removing part of your enamel, other cosmetic options like whitening or bonding may be recommended first. If your teeth do not respond to whitening treatments, this option can help hide discoloration and create a more uniform look.
Enjoy Long Lasting Results
In many cases, your porcelain veneers can last around five to ten years. You can continue eating your favorite foods and following your regular oral hygiene routine. It’s important that you maintain a good hygiene routine and visit your dentist biannually. Your dentist will demonstrate how to floss and brush without harming the shells. These steps can help keep your natural pearly whites healthy and maintain the porcelain shells for longer. Other treatments like whitening or bonding may need to be repeated every few years as their results wear away.
