Dental Veneers 101

What Are Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin pieces of porcelain or resin that a cosmetic dentist adheres directly to the tooth’s surface. Based on the patient’s unique needs and preferences, the dentist custom-fits the veneers to the shape and size of the mouth and teeth.

The veneers may serve to alter the color, shape, and overall appearance of the smile. The result is extremely natural looking and virtually indistinguishable from real teeth. These veneers can last up to 20 years before they need to be replaced.

What Are the Benefits?

Dental veneers can improve the shape, size, or color of your teeth. Whether you want your teeth to appear several shades whiter or more even and streamlined, they can give your mouth a total smile makeover. Many people choose veneers to correct chipped, broken, or irregularly shaped teeth. They can also be used to repair gaps or hide discoloration from root canals and other dental procedures.

Since your smile is one of the first features others notice about you, it makes sense that so many people are self-conscious about the state of their teeth. For many people, dental veneers can help improve self-esteem regarding their appearance. If you want to feel confident in your skin, dental veneers may be for you.
