If you have a smile of which you’re not proud, one thing you might consider is having veneers put on your teeth. Below are some of the advantages of dental veneers and what they can do to help you with your smile.
1. Change a tooth’s color
Sometimes a tooth has a yellowish or dull color. Whether this happens naturally or because of smoking, drinking coffee or wine or other reasons, it can be a bit embarrassing. Discolored teeth can also be due to medical treatments or trauma. Trauma often can kill the tooth’s nerves. Even though there are whitening options, sometimes it doesn’t work or the person has teeth that are too sensitive for whitening.
2. Alter Teeth’s Shape
Teeth sometimes are naturally too short or too small, meaning that you are self-conscious and not comfortable smiling. Veneers helps you with giving your smile a new shape and even differences out efficiently.
3. Repair Chipped or Broken Teeth
A lot of people have small chips missing from their teeth, which, even though they aren’t a medical problem, make them self-conscious.
4. Improve Alignment
When you want to straighten your teeth and not have to worry about braces, you might think about getting veneers. They’re able to be used for removing gaps and correcting irregular or misaligned teeth. But this treatment is not recommended for patients who are younger because it removes a lot of healthy enamel, which isn’t able to be reversed.
5. Repair the Damage that Bruxism Causes
People who grind their teeth at night might find they’ve ground their tooth enamel right off. Putting some porcelain covers on the teeth will help with restoring their teeth’s appearance but with protecting their teeth’s sensitivity to cold and hot.
These are some of the reasons why people get veneers put on their teeth. Overall, veneers can help you have a better smile and have more self-confidence. It might be something to talk to your dentist about.
