Achieving a Megawatt Smile Gets Easier Every Day

Why Veneers Are So Unique

If you look at yourself in the mirror and love everything you see, but as soon as you smile, you don't like it, it may be time to talk to a cosmetic dentist. Whether you don't like the size, shape, or color of your teeth, you may want to consider porcelain veneers. However, if you don't know the first thing about what these are, then it's time to research them a little bit and read on. 

What Are They? 

First things first, porcelain veneers are a dental prosthetic that is designed to help patients with a variety of different cosmetic dental issues. These porcelain shells may be small, but they are relatively durable. During the porcelain veneer process, your dentist will file down your teeth so that they are really thin, then they will place the porcelain veneers on top using a permanent adhesive. 

What Can They Fix?

One of the things that make dental veneers so unique is that they can fix a variety of different dental issues including: 

Crooked teeth: Rather than having to get metal braces to move your teeth around, your dentist can give you the appearance of straight teeth with dental veneers. The only thing to know about veneers is that they won't be able to fix jaw or alignment issues. 

Discolored teeth: Often when patients have teeth that are stained by things like tetracycline, they won't whiten with whitening treatments alone, but dental veneers can do the trick. 

The size and shape of your teeth: If you have teeth that you think are too small for your smile, then you may want to get larger dental veneers that will help transform your smile. Additionally, if you want to change the shape of your teeth, then your dentist can do this with some veneers. 

How Long Do They Take?

One of the other unique benefits of dental veneers is that unlike dental implants, which take months from start to finish, veneers can be taken care of in just a few appointments. During your first appointment, you and your dentist will decide on the exact appearance you want from your veneers. Then, during your next appointment, your dentist will file down your teeth and then glue your veneers on, leaving you with a prettier smile in no time. 

Having a beautiful smile doesn't have to take forever to get. In fact, with dental veneers, you can get a new smile in almost no time.
