Though the imperfections of our pearly whites are part of what makes us unique, that doesn\u2019t mean that you have to settle for a smile you aren\u2019t excited to show off. Fortunately, cosmetic dental treatments like porcelain veneers can correct a multitude of smile problems and help you feel more confident. Read on to learn about five benefits of porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefit-1-durable-and-long-lasting\">Benefit #1: Durable and Long-Lasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No cosmetic dental treatment lasts forever, but porcelain veneers can last upwards of 15 years with proper care. This includes brushing your teeth once in the morning and once at night with a soft-bristled toothbrush for two minutes each time. Make sure to use a toothbrush with soft bristles to avoid scratching your restorations. You should also floss before you go to bed to remove plaque and food particles that got stuck between your teeth throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefit-2-simple-procedure\">Benefit #2: Simple Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The veneers process is easy and can be completed within a few visits. The steps that you and your dentist will go through to give you the smile you desire include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step #1<\/strong>: <strong>Create a plan<\/strong> \u2013 You\u2019ll attend an initial consultation with your dentist to make a game plan for your smile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step #2<\/strong>: <strong>Enamel removal<\/strong> \u2013 Your dentist will remove a small amount of tooth enamel from the teeth receiving the veneers so they don\u2019t look bulky and fit in with the rest of your smile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step #3<\/strong>: <strong>Impressions and temporary veneers<\/strong> \u2013 Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to the dental lab that\u2019s going to make your veneers. Your dentist will give you temporary veneers to protect your teeth in the meantime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step #4<\/strong>: Getting your new smile \u2013 Once your dentist has received the veneers from the lab, they\u2019ll ask you to come back in to have them placed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefit-3-fix-minor-cosmetic-issues\">Benefit #3: Fix Minor Cosmetic Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers can fix a range of cosmetic issues, including chipped, broken, or misshapen teeth. They can also be used to correct minor alignment issues, gaps between teeth, and stains or discoloration. They are also made of porcelain, which is nonporous. This means that drinks like coffee and tea can\u2019t stain your veneers the same way they stain your natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefit-4-protecting-damaged-teeth\">Benefit #4: Protecting Damaged Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we age, our tooth enamel naturally erodes. Even so, things like poor oral hygiene, consuming too many acidic or sweet things, brushing your teeth too aggressively, and acid reflux can lead to premature wear. Since veneers cover the front surface of your teeth, they act as a barrier from irritants and things that can harm your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefit-5-worthwhile-investment\">Benefit #5: Worthwhile Investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers tend to cost more than other treatments. But, since they can last a long time with proper care, they are a worthwhile investment into the long-term beauty of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many benefits to offer, porcelain veneers are an excellent way to fix your smile and feel more confident in your pearly whites. Reach out to your dentist to learn if they\u2019re the right option for you to beautify your beam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"about-the-practice\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by Dr. Jeffrey Skupny, the skilled, compassionate, and accommodating Naples team at Island Coast Dentistry provides patients with the care they need to get their smiles on the right track.
