Veneers fall under the category of cosmetic dentistry. They are thin layers of porcelain made to fit over your teeth to improve their appearance and/or protect the surface of the tooth from damage. Aside from being able to make a huge boost to your confidence, here’s five other reasons as to why you should consider getting porcelain veneers:
(1) Depending on the condition of your teeth, teeth whitening may not be able to get your teeth their whitest and brightest. Sometimes staining goes through the enamel to the dentine, preventing bleaching from being a viable treatment. It is good to be aware of your options!
(2) Porcelain veneers actually act as a barrier on the teeth. They can protect your teeth from staining from smoking, coffee, cola, certain antibiotics, and more.
(3) Chips and cracks can be covered with veneers, preventing any further damage on the teeth. Who wants to smile with a chipped or cracked tooth?
(4) Veneers can reduce the size of gaps between teeth. If you are self- conscious about a larger than normal gap(s) between your teeth, this can be a great solution!
(5) They are long lasting. If you practice good oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, regular checkups), porcelain veneers have the potential to last 10 to 20 years – possibly even longer.
