If you’re looking to improve the overall look of your smile, you might turn to veneers. Veneers are a layer of material put over your tooth (or teeth) to create a beautiful, shining look while protecting the tooth’s surface from damage. Depending on the condition of your teeth, you may have to discuss your veneer options, but whatever happens, the outcome is impeccable. While veneers don’t replace missing teeth, you can still get them without a full set. Read on to learn more about how to go about getting veneers!
Types of Veneers
There are several types of veneers, but two popular types of material are used to create the mold; composite and dental porcelain. Here’s what to know:
Composite
Composite veneers are made of composite resin- a mixture of organic and inorganic components. These are minimally-invasive tooth coverings, however, getting these means they won’t last long compared to other veneers. Their short lifespan is up to 3 years because of the lack of durability. And this type is likely to stain more so over time. Furthermore, the material is not as durable as other options.
Dental porcelain
Dental porcelain provides wafer-thin ceramic shells on your teeth that last 10 to 30 years. Although not indestructible, you will be able to eat almost anything. These veneers can be molded to match your teeth’s front surfaces.
Porcelain veneers are what Savannah Dental Solutions uses, as they are great for getting “the smile you’ve always wanted.”
Veneers with Missing Teeth
It’s important to note that veneers do not and cannot replace missing teeth. They do not make up for a tooth, and they are not fake teeth. If you’re looking for new teeth, you need to look into getting dental implants. If you want to use veneers, there needs to be a tooth in place. However, if you want to use veneers, you don’t have to have your mouth full.
Veneers, specifically porcelain, are designed to cover one tooth at a time, so you can select which teeth you want them on. Then you’ll be able to do everything you usually do for your mouth without special care. Brush and floss like you normally do, and you’ll be able to avoid outcomes from most teeth-staining foods and drinks like coffee and wine.
Getting veneers for your teeth will ensure a natural look that fits your mouth and won’t bother your gums, will enhance the aesthetic of your mouth by whitening your teeth, and is an easy way to change their shape of them as well. Once you get your perfect fit, you’ll be sure to flash those new pearly whites with that natural (and genuine) smile.
