Some Things You Need to Know About Veneers

Posted on: 2 November 2016

Veneers are a great way to get the smile that you want. If you are self-conscious about your smile, you might be wondering what you can do to get your teeth to look the way you want them to. In fact, you might be concerned that the things you don't like about your teeth are permanent and that there is nothing you can do to fix it. Luckily, that is not the case. Getting veneers is one of the best options for getting the smile that you want. Here are some things you need to know about getting veneers.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are made of porcelain and are put over the teeth. So what will happen is that you will choose which teeth, one or many, that you want veneers over. The dentist will then help to choose the color and shape of the porcelain, and then they will attach a veneer to each tooth. The process is pretty painless and can be done over the course of a couple appointments. For instance, the first appointment will be an assessment. You will get some veneers put on, and then you will shape and color. After that, you will take some trial time to make sure the veneers work for you, and then can make changes if needed. Throughout all of these appointments, your satisfaction will be the first priority.

What Do Veneers Correct?

Veneers can correct a variety of things. In fact, practically any problem you have with your teeth can be fixed with veneers. If you are unhappy with the color of your teeth, or if you have stains that cannot be removed through normal whitening gels, you may need to consider veneers. You can chose any color of porcelain that you want, so if you only get one veneer, it can match the other teeth perfectly.

If your complaint is that your teeth are misshaped, veneers can correct this. The size and shape of the veneer can be changed so that each tooth can be uniform and the same size. You can get the veneer put over every tooth so that each tooth looks the right size and so it doesn't look like you have some teeth that are longer, shorter, smaller, or bigger than others.

As you can see, veneers are a great option, and that is why so many people choose to get veneers. If you think that veneers might be the best option for you, talk to your dentist about possible treatments.
