Dental Veneers: Pros and Cons

Dental veneers are thin pieces of tooth-colored porcelain cemented to the front surfaces of your natural teeth, and are an easy way to address a variety of physical and aesthetic problems. Because they're also permanent, however, you'll need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of the procedure before you decide to get them. Here are six things to think about and discuss with your dentist.

Pro #1: Easily Whiten Your Smile
Years of drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes or eating highly pigmented foods eventually take their toll on your teeth, turning them an unattractive shade of yellow or brown. Stained enamel can be bleached at home or by your dentist, but it can become stained again. If you're looking for an easier way to whiten your smile for good, dental veneers may be a good fit for you. Veneers are largely stain-resistant, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), so you won't have to worry about discoloration or needing to have your veneers whitened.

Dental Porcelain Veneers

A New Smile in Only Two Visits

Forget your embarrassment about teeth that have gaps or are misshapen or discolored. All these problems can be corrected with porcelain veneers to give you a great smile and boosted confidence. Veneers are very thin, hard sheets of dental ceramic that are bonded to your natural teeth. They create a new smile that can look as if you have had years of straightening. The process is painless and can be accomplished in as few as two visits. No kidding! 

Veneers can also be bonded to a single tooth that is chipped or cracked. They conceal the problem and blend in, as the veneer is made to match the shade of your natural teeth. Don't let your smile be an obstacle to moving forward with your life. Come in for a consultation, and you will be smiling because you live your life to its fullest!
