4 Issues a Cosmetic Dentist Can Fix With Dental Veneers

Today, with increasing importance placed on dental aesthetics, there are many reasons why one may consider a trip to the cosmetic dentist. The desire for good-looking teeth is important as beautiful smiles are known to contribute to a person's overall well-being and positive self-image. There are many different avenues for fixing an imperfect smile. In particular, dental veneers are known for successfully solving all kinds of smile-related issues. 

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are extremely thin, personalized shells made from tooth-colored materials that are subtly fitted to the front of the teeth, creating a pleasing and lasting smile. Depending on what they are used for, they can be custom-made to fit one or many teeth. Usually constructed from porcelain, these shells are durable over time and are used to deal with a variety of aesthetic issues. Notably, veneers are known for altering the size, length, color and shape of teeth to fix issues such as the following:

1. Stained or discolored teeth

Patients who drink coffee or tea, smoke or have yellow or brown teeth can benefit from veneers. They can be made in any shade of white and are known to be extremely stain resistant. Although veneers can be made from different materials, porcelain is considered to be the most effective in providing and sustaining a whitened smile. Porcelain veneers are generally resistant to discoloration and closely resemble natural teeth, making them a good option for those struggling to achieve a white smile.

2. Chipped or broken teeth

Sometimes the unfortunate happens and a tooth gets chipped or broken. Veneers can solve this issue by covering up the damaged tooth or teeth. The cosmetic dentist will help by choosing the right shade and shape so the veneer blends into the patient's existing smile.

3. An uneven smile

Although braces are normally considered when wanting to straighten teeth, veneers offer an alternative option. While braces can take years to straighten teeth and fix gaps, veneers can be a more simple procedure and do not have the cost or maintenance associated with braces. Veneers are tailored to a specific patient and can be made to suit individual needs. 

4. Worn-down teeth

A common condition for many people is bruxism, or tooth grinding, where a person wears down their teeth by rubbing them together. Over time the effects of this can be noticeable, with the teeth appearing smaller or misshapen. Dental veneers can fix this by providing patients with a new durable smile, and the strength of the veneer material may withstand future grinding. 

Conclusion

No one should live with a less-than-perfect smile if it means sacrificing confidence and happiness. If you are struggling with any of the above issues, dental veneers are a great option to provide patients with a new, strong, bright smile. If unsure whether veneers are the right choice, a good option is to contact a cosmetic dentist and get their opinion.
