Veneers have been used for years on dental patients who are looking for a significant improvement in their smile. They are carefully designed to resemble natural teeth and are just as strong, making them easy to maintain. It requires only a simple procedure to have them placed on by a cosmetic dentist, which is one of the many reasons they are in high demand.

At the Dental Clinic of Onalaska in Wisconsin, patients can count on being treated by professionals who have years of experience performing special services, including the application of veneers. Those looking for a way to hide the imperfections in their smile can use the following information to decide if veneers might be right for them:

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin porcelain or composite resin shells that dentists apply to cover the front surface of teeth. They are individually molded to fit right over the patient’s original teeth and then bonded on with cement. Veneers are made to alter the size, shape, shade, and length of flawed teeth for an enhanced appearance.

How Do They Help?

There are a number of dental issues that veneers can be used to fix. A patient is generally a good candidate for veneers if they have teeth that are discolored, misaligned, worn down, chipped, or broken. They may also be a viable solution for filling in gaps and covering teeth that are smaller than all the others.

What Are The Advantages?

Veneers give patients a reason to smile again. Because teeth are such a large focal point and one of the first things typically noticed about a person, they can be a real source of insecurity when they are less than perfect. Veneers not only help to instill self-confidence, but they can also prevent damage to the teeth underneath.

The dentist that’s chosen to do the application can make all the difference in how long a patient’s veneers last and how well they turn out to look. Contact the Dental Clinic of Onalaska at (608) 783-3341, or visit them online to learn more.
