How Porcelain Veneers Improve Your Appearance

Ladies, if you are ready to improve your appearance, it’s time to consider porcelain veneers. Being able to smile with confidence can send others the message that you are open, friendly, positive and confident. Even if your teeth are healthy, they may not be attractive. Porcelain veneers are an affordable option to improve the appearance of teeth that have become stained or are slightly defective. Here are four ways they can make your teeth more attractive and improve your overall appearance.

Improve the Color

Teeth are often discolored no matter how well you take care of them. They may start to yellow due to your age and some foods can stain them. Exposure to tetracycline at an early age can also cause them to lose their natural color. There are a few dental treatments like teeth whitening that can restore some of this natural brightness. However, in many cases, deep discoloration cannot be corrected by external techniques like whitening. Porcelain veneers are made to match the natural color of your teeth and can permanently brighten your smile.

Improve the Shape

Even though the teeth are tough and resilient, they can become damaged over time. Any type of injury to the mouth can chip a tooth or change its grinding habits so that there is abnormal wear. One tooth can become visibly shorter than others. Sometimes, you are born with oddly shaped teeth. Maybe they are too round, or too square. This can affect your smile. Veneers are customized so they make your teeth more attractively shaped.

Improve the Size

Normally, teeth are proportional to the lips and gums. If a tooth becomes worn down it upsets the proportion. Porcelain veneers help make teeth appear longer so the proportional balance is restored.  In some instances, a crown may be necessary. If you lost a large portion of the tooth to disease or an injury, a crown may be needed to cover the entire tooth.

Improve Alignment and Spacing

If there are big gaps between your teeth, they are crooked or you have a poor bite, you may need braces. But if these problems are not significant veneers can be used to correct gaps or slightly crooked teeth. It is less costly and can be less time consuming than the process of getting braces. Minor malalignments can easily be corrected with porcelain veneers. This would mean that the problem could be corrected in as little as a day rather than months of wires, brackets and discomfort.

How easy is it to get porcelain veneers?

After discussing this option with your dental professional, he will prepare your teeth. He’ll have to make an impression of your teeth and send it out to the lab. Most of the time, it only takes about two weeks for the veneers to be constructed. You may be offered temporary placements while you wait for the new ones to arrive. Once the dentist receives them, he will apply them to the front portions of your teeth improving your smile and your appearance.
