Most people focus on the face when talking to people, which means the first thing that’s noticed is your teeth/smile. South Loop residents may be unhappy with their smile because there are cracks, chips, or significant staining. If you’re wondering what to do or who can help, you should talk to your dentist and see if dental veneers are right for you.
What Are They?
A veneer is usually made of porcelain, and it is a thin shell that attaches to the front of the tooth surface. Each one is designed differently based on the tooth they are concealing. While it is considered to be a cosmetic enhancement, they can help protect the teeth. For example, if you have a crack in the enamel that isn’t deep, it can prevent the cracking from getting worse or prevent it from breaking off altogether.
If you choose the right dentist and they have a high-quality lab, you may not even notice the difference between your natural tooth and the veneer.
It is important that you have healthy teeth and that you maintain correct oral hygiene.
Durability
While composite resin can be used instead of porcelain, they may not be as durable. Porcelain veneers can last up to 25 years with proper oral care and routine cleanings.
Conceal without Advanced Procedures
Most people would prefer not to have surgery or use invasive treatment options. If you’re not a candidate for teeth whitening, a veneer can still conceal the issue. It can also work for minor misalignment issues and malformations.
