Having a beautiful smile improves self-confidence and leaves a positive, lasting impression on everyone you come across. If you’re looking for ways to improve your teeth due to chips, cracks, or years of gradual discoloration, ask your dentist about getting porcelain veneers. These cosmetic solutions provide several significant benefits. Here’s a closer look.

Why Do Dentists Recommend Porcelain Veneers?

1. Durability

If you’re seeking a long-lasting cosmetic solution that can stand up to the challenges of everyday use, such as eating and speaking, opt for porcelain veneers. Unlike the composite-resin option, porcelain is more resistant to breaking and chipping. Additionally, it’s easier to maintain and can last anywhere from 12 to 25 years with proper care.

2. Availability of Shades

Porcelain comes in a broad range of natural-looking shades of brightness. This will help ensure the end result properly matches your surrounding teeth and skin tone. Furthermore, this material is highly stain-resistant against foods and drinks that might otherwise discolor your smile, such as red wine or dark chocolate. You’ll be able to enjoy a beautiful, bright smile for years to come after the installation.

3. Ability to Straighten Teeth

If you have crooked or misshapen teeth but don’t want to spend years correcting the alignment with braces or invisible aligners, invest in veneers instead. Your dentist will help you select a shape and size that fills in any gaps and covers misalignment for a beautiful, straight smile in a fraction of the time.

4. Quick Installation

Generally, the veneer installation process can be taken care of in as little as two trips to the dentist. During the first appointment, a mold is made of your natural teeth. During the second, the veneers will be attached to the top layer of your teeth.
