Are you looking to revive your smile? If you are, a sparkling smile can be within reach with dental veneers, which are tooth-colored ceramic shells that are made to cover your natural teeth to produce a bright, aesthetically pleasing smile. A much more conservative approach to changing your tooth's color, size and shape, veneers can mask undesirable defects in your teeth that you may be ashamed of. Patients are discovering the benefits of dental veneers because unlike a crown, a veneer is a thin covering that is placed over the front of your teeth. Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment due to their instant, sparkling visual appeal in addition to the simplicity for which they are applied. As cosmetic dental treatments have progressed and improved, so have dental veneers, making them more appealing to patients than ever before. The Process A dental veneer is a custom created ceramic material that has the appearance and translucency of your natural teeth. Bonded over the front surface of your tooth, veneers cover up warn down tooth enamel, slightly crooked teeth, gaps between your teeth and cracked or chipped teeth. Your dentist can transform your veneers into any shape or color, in order to match your other teeth and transform your smile to your desired appearance. Regardless of what has caused your damaged teeth, dental veneers can solve your cosmetic dental issues such as:
• Worn enamel
• Wear and tear
• Uneven teeth
• Gaps in your teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Chipped and cracked teeth Damage to Teeth Whether you are playing football, hockey or simply walking to your office, accidents do happen and your teeth often find themselves getting damaged in some way. A common problem is that patients can chip or damage their teeth due to trauma from sports or from falling. These simple accidents can cause a small part of the tooth to become chipped or broken. Composite resin can be used to build the tooth back up and this technique is sometimes referred to as bonding or composite veneers. This can often be a much quicker fix than porcelain veneers but it does not always last as long and is much more prone to staining. Quick Fix for Mildly Crooked Teeth Crooked teeth can result from grinding your teeth or general wear and tear. Your teeth may also become crooked due to the loss of neighboring teeth and gum disease. Often, crooked teeth can be treated using orthodontic braces or clear aligners such as Invisalign. With these treatments, it can sometimes take up to 2 years before any results are seen. Dental veneers, often referred to as "instant orthodontics," are used to cover up the imperfections of slightly crooked teeth, requiring less time for results to be shown. However, veneers are not recommended for teeth that are extremely crooked. Veneers are not for everyone, but with proper consultation with your dentist in Canton, you can reach the best solution for transforming your damaged teeth. If you have discolored, crooked or gapped teeth, veneers may be an appropriate solution to covering up your problem areas. No longer do you have to "deal with" discolored, damaged teeth.
