Veneers
When you don’t want to wait months for changes that will brighten or straighten your smile over time, you need veneers. Veneers are the quickest method for most patients to achieve the changes they want. These thin shells that fit over the surface of the teeth can transform the appearance of the most visible part of your smile. There’s no need to wait for the results of tooth whitening or put up with the discomfort of braces. Veneers take just a few weeks from start to finish, helping you achieve your goals by a specific date.
You might think of veneers as thin covers for your teeth. They’re made from resins or ceramic materials that realistically mimic a natural look. With whitening for the rest of your teeth, it’s easy to get a perfect match across your whole smile. No one will guess you’ve had veneers placed to cover up issues with individual teeth. Veneers are permanently attached to the tooth’s surface, so you’ll need a small amount of enamel removed before they can be placed. You’ll also need to replace the veneers every 5 to 15 years, depending on the material used for them.
Most people understand that the slightly translucent veneer material will easily cover a wide range of cracks, chips, and discolorations. Stubborn stains will disappear under the layer of resin or ceramic. However, fewer people know that veneers can also change the appearance of the shape of a tooth. If you’ve had a few teeth that never fit the rest of your smile, veneers can quickly help them blend in. You can even make it look like a misaligned tooth is straighter or close in a small gap between teeth. You’ll be surprised at what your cosmetic dentist can do with the help of veneers.
Here at Tooth Twins, we aim to connect each patient with the solutions right for them. We’ll only recommend veneers if we’re confident they’re your best option for cosmetic improvements. Veneers work best for people with discolored or stained teeth that aren’t responding well to other whitening methods. They’re also a good option for people with oddly spaced, chipped, or angled teeth who want to make a change. As long as the underlying teeth are healthy and don’t have stability or decay issues, you should be able to have veneers placed without issue. Veneers can even change the appearance of the size of small teeth. You can lengthen each visible tooth with ease and enjoy a more attractive smile with minimal effort.
Veneers are a good alternative to dental bonding and whitening treatments. They cover a wider range of stains and damage like chips and cracks than the alternatives. Dental bonding can hide minor discoloration, but it’s less valuable for covering dark stains. Crowns are good for stabilizing damaged teeth, but they’re not always necessary. Veneers are a better choice for teeth that are strong, healthy, and highly visible. If you’re trying to adjust the visible alignment of a few teeth, veneers are much faster and tend to cost less than using braces or clear aligner systems.
This type of dental improvement is customized to your exact goals and desires. You can work with your dentist to get the smile you’ve always wanted without extensive work and multiple treatments to achieve the goal. Veneers are manufactured just for you, giving you the perfect fit and a natural look.
They’re also durable and can withstand your usual eating and drinking habits. If you choose stain-resistant porcelain materials, the veneers will resist staining even more than the natural enamel of your teeth. The veneers won’t fade or yellow with age like your natural teeth.
You’ll only need to make a few trips to the dentist to have the veneers placed. Once the work is completed, only a dentist will be able to tell you’ve had them done. Your smile will look natural and attractive, giving you more self-confidence for a decade or longer with proper care.
All veneers start with a preparation step in which the dentist removes a small amount of enamel from the surface of the teeth. This roughens the surface so the veneers can stay tightly adhered. Your teeth are carefully modeled through impressions and 3D scanning. We’ll work with you to pick the perfect size, shape, and fit, along with the right color to match the rest of your smile.
A dental laboratory will manufacture the veneers of the best materials. When they’re ready, the dentist will fit them and handle any necessary adjustments.
