Dental veneers are a superior method of correcting minor problems. Some of the reasons for this assessment are well known while other are mostly known by dentists.
Here is why we like dental veneers as a treatment option -
Dental veneers are versatile meaning that they can fix a large number of problems. For example, a number of people use dental veneers to correct the coloring of their teeth. Few of these patients realize that dental veneers can also be used to broaden the smile, and remove wrinkles induced by worn out teeth. When teeth get worn, they lead to sagging in the mouth which creates tiny folds around the nose and in the corners of the mouth. These wrinkles can be easily removed with the help of dental veneers. What we can do is broaden your smile, using bonded porcelain while also lengthening your teeth. This can cause the mouth to be properly stretched over the teeth, and the aging wrinkles to disappear.
Dental veneers are natural in look and feel. Dental veneers have many of the same qualities that the enamel does. It is incredibly hard and incredibly brittle. For a person with veneers what this means is that you will not need to change the foods you eat. You will, however, need to take a few additional precautions when eating food like apples, which are hard to bite into. Taking the time to dice the apples will not only ensure that your veneers do not become broken or fall off, but will also make sure that your teeth do not sustain damage. One common warning we give all our patients is never to use your teeth as a tool. The teeth, with or without dental veneers, are not designed for bottle opening, chip bag tearing, or nail biting. Such activity can and will result in broken teeth and broken veneers. With proper care veneers have been known to last up to 30 years, though the average is around 12.
