Veneers are made of porcelain or resin composite materials, and they’re bonded to front teeth like a shell. These cosmetic dentistry products are designed to look, function, and feel like natural teeth. If you’re on the fence about getting them, here are a few reasons you may want to.

Why You Should Get Veneers

1. Cover Stains

Your teeth can become severely stained if you smoke tobacco and enjoy coffee, berries, and other foods and beverages that are highly pigmented. If ignored, these stains will become deeply-rooted and can’t be lifted with whitening treatments. Fortunately, you can get veneers to cover discolored teeth and prevent additional staining. A dentist will color-match the material with a whiter tooth that’s nearby to ensure the veneers seamlessly integrate with your smile.

2. Fill Gaps

Your smile may have gaps due to a natural misalignment. While this is a normal occurrence, you may feel reluctant to laugh or show happiness. Since a veneer acts as a cap, you can get a wide one to fill a gap in your front teeth. This option will achieve your desired results without enduring years of braces.

3. Stabilize Chips & Cracks

Your teeth are durable, so it takes excessive force to crack or chip them. If a tooth was damaged while you were playing sports or biting on something hard, a dentist can retain its structure by placing a veneer over it. This solution allows you to keep the natural tooth and prevents the crack from worsening over time.
