Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells created from tooth-colored materials such as porcelain or resin composite. These shells are bonded to the front surface of the teeth, effectively concealing imperfections and transforming the appearance of your smile. Here’s how dental veneers can transform your smile:
Professional teeth whitening before getting dental veneers is highly recommended. By enhancing the color of your natural teeth, professional teeth whitening ensures a uniform shade across your smile. This step is crucial as veneers cannot be whitened once they are placed. This will ensure a seamless and natural-looking result.
The placement of dental veneers typically involves the following steps:
Maintaining proper oral hygiene and taking care of your veneers can ensure their longevity and keep your smile beautiful. Maintain six-month check-ups, brush your teeth twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste, and floss daily. While veneers are resistant to staining, it may be prudent to avoid stain-causing substances. Additionally, consider wearing a night guard during sleep or a mouthguard during sports or other activities that could pose a risk of dental trauma.
