Having coloured misshapen, chipped or uneven teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile, but this doesn't have to be the case. If you find that your hiding your smile because of that, you should consider getting dental veneers.

Dental veneers are thin porcelain or composite pieces that are custom made and glued permanently to the front of your teeth. They are a popular cosmetic dental choice and when you learn about all the advantages, you'll see why.

Veneers maintain the natural appearance of your teeth

One of the main reasons that so many people choose veneers is that the result is very natural. The veneers are created to match the tooth enamel colour and contour of your teeth and each one is placed with extreme precision. The entire process is custom made to your face and when it's done, you're veneers will look and feel like your real teeth.

The procedure is simple and minimally invasive.

Getting veneers is an easy and great way to repair any cosmetic issues that you have with your teeth. While they look like natural teeth, they don't stain easy, so it's a good long term choice. It is also less invasive compared to other options. To get a veneer, your dentist will shave down a small fraction of the surface of your tooth. Each veneer is then placed on your teeth with special cement. The entire process can be done with no anaesthesia.

Veneers are permanent and easy to maintain

Not only are veneers are permanent solution, but they are also easy to maintain. Porcelain veneers when maintained are more decay resistant and stain resistant than your regular teeth. To care for them, follow the same dental hygiene practises as you do with regular teeth. Brush them twice a day, floss at least once a day and continue to visit us for regular check-ups.

Veneers protect vulnerable teeth and can treat enamel loss

Veneers have benefits of your oral health. Cracked or chipped teeth are more vulnerable to infection, so installing a veneer on top of them can help to protect them. Veneers can also help teeth suffering from enamel loss since tooth enamel doesn't come back once it's worn away.

Your smile is one of the first things people will see about you and you shouldn't have to hide them if you are self conscious about miscoloured or misshapen teeth. Dental veneers could be a good option for you.
