10 Reasons to Choose Veneers

When it comes to improving your smile, you have a variety of options, from over-the-counter whitening kits to special toothpastes to pens designed to touch up your teeth on the go. But if you're looking for a more permanent solution in your quest for prettier pearly whites, you should consider choosing porcelain veneers. Veneers offer a long-lasting smile solution that can completely revamp your teeth, removing stains and discolorations, straightening and filling in gaps, and more. Here are 10 reasons why you should choose veneers:

 

1. They stay brighter longer! Unlike natural teeth, which inevitably become discolored over time from coffee, tea, red wine, cigarettes or the aging process itself, veneers will remain clean and bright so you can feel confident about your smile.

2. You don't have to sacrifice your natural tooth structure. One reason why some patients shy away from veneers is because they fear having their teeth filed down during application of the veneers. Fortunately, modern-day veneers are much thinner and more pliable, and thus require only minimal tooth modification. Some types of veneers, like Lumineers, are as thin as a contact lens, and are simply affixed to the tooth with a durable bonding agent – no filing or permanent alteration required.

3. Veneers can actually strengthen your existing teeth. Because they straighten, align and fill in gaps with ease, veneers are sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics,” and they are an excellent choice if your natural teeth are weak, brittle or cracked.

4. They are easy to care for and low maintenance. All you have to do is brush and floss them as you would your natural teeth.

5. You can count on a natural feeling and appearance from your porcelain veneers. Forget about “false teeth” – veneers are your teeth, only better!

6. In addition to making your teeth whiter and strengthening existing tooth structure, veneers also correct minor gaps and overlapping teeth instantly.

7. Forget about chips and cracks! Veneers are designed to be resistant to fracture, so you can kiss the pain and shame of broken teeth goodbye.

8. They are built especially for you. Your cosmetic dentist will craft your veneers by hand to fit the size and shape of your natural smile, for that custom look.

9. Veneers offer fast results. In as little as two visits, you could have the smile of your dreams!

10. They may be less expensive than you think. Talk with your dental healthcare professional to discuss payment options.

 

For all of these reasons and more, porcelain veneers are a fantastic choice for revamping your smile.
