Veneers are thin shells made of composite resin or porcelain that a dentist can bond to the front of your teeth to create a natural, uniform smile. These can address many dental imperfections and make you more confident when flashing your pearly whites to the world. Below, discover a few common reasons people seek out this procedure.

How Could You Benefit From Veneers?

1. Cover Chips & Cracks

A chipped or cracked tooth is significantly weaker than one that's intact. If the fissure deepens, all or a portion of the tooth could break off, requiring an emergency trip to the dentist and a complicated corrective procedure. Placing a veneer over a cracked tooth adds a layer of protection and fortification. It also saves the original tooth, relieves pressure on the crack or chip, and conceals the flaw with a flat and natural-looking surface.

2. Hide Stains

If you're a regular coffee, tea, or wine drinker, you've likely experienced some degree of tooth staining. Unfortunately, despite the best and most diligent brushing and flossing, routine dental care is sometimes not enough to remove those stubborn discolorations. Veneers effectively obscure stains and give you a bright smile. They're also stain-resistant, so you don't need to worry about your new teeth dimming anytime soon.

3. Fill Gaps

Misaligned teeth can be corrected with orthodontics, but that process takes months, if not years, to complete. Veneers address misalignments and fill in gaps quickly and affordably, as they give more shape and bulk to the teeth and are customized to meet the precise needs of your mouth. The result is full, even rows of teeth that require no special care other than your usual brushing and flossing routine.
