Veneers
If you’re looking for a convenient and easy way to improve the appearance of your smile quickly, consider dental veneers. Veneers have now become a very common way to hide minor imperfections, allowing people to enjoy an enhanced smile. Learn more about veneers and how they may be a great solution.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Essentially, dental veneers are a cosmetic covering for your teeth. They can make your teeth look almost perfect while maintaining a completely natural look that mimics your natural teeth. Veneers are often made of porcelain but may also be made of a composite resin material. No matter what kind you get, they look very natural. Almost no one can tell that you are wearing veneers, even up close.
Are You a Candidate For Dental Veneers?
Before getting dental veneers, addressing any existing dental issues is important. Your dentist will want to perform a dental exam and complete any necessary treatments to ensure your teeth are healthy before applying veneers.
How are Veneers Applied?
When you get dental veneers, your dentist will carefully measure your teeth to ensure a good fit. The dentist then sends those measurements to a dental lab, where the veneers are manufactured based on your specifications, including your preferred tinting to make them look natural. When the veneers arrive, you’ll be contacted to return to the dentist’s office and have them applied.
The process of getting veneers is completely painless and noninvasive. The dentist prepares the surface of your teeth so that the veneers can adhere better. The dentist then applies a dental bonding material and applies the veneers, one by one, to your teeth. Then, a special light lamp is used to “set” the veneers.
How Veneers Improve Your Smile
Veneers cover up flaws in your teeth. If you have permanently discolored teeth, cracked teeth, gaps, or crooked teeth, veneers can cover up those imperfections. Your smile will look beautiful and natural.
Veneers can last decades, depending on how well you care for them. Talk to your Cohasset, MA, dentist today about whether veneers suit you.
