Dental Veeners Do you have a smile that you are not happy with? If so, veneers can be the solution to your problem. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that cover the front surface of teeth. They are a favorite at Highridge Dental Care because they look natural and beautiful, and they also help make any imperfections in teeth disappear. What Are Veneers And How Do They Work?Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or composite materials that can restore teeth to a natural, healthy appearance. They are custom-made for each individual's mouth and usually take one visit with the dentist to place them on your teeth. Veneers provide an affordable alternative to crowns. In particular, veneers might help if you have chipped or worn teeth because veneer material is thinner than filling material which means it has less impact on tooth root structure. It also doesn't require any drilling into your tooth like inlays do, which makes this treatment option even better. But while they're so easy to place, veneers can be just as easy to damage, which is why you should always take care of them. Types of veneersThere are two types of veneers: porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain is the more traditional option, but today it's often used to enhance a damaged tooth instead of repairing one. With this type of veneer, you will need to have your teeth ground down so that the colors match perfectly with each other; otherwise, they can look unnatural. Composite resin is a little more modern because it doesn't require grinding down of your natural tooth enamel-like porcelain does - a process that leaves behind an unattractive dark line on top of your teeth when worn for too long in between visits as well as leaving your teeth feeling sensitive to hot and cold food. Benefits Of VeneersSome people have teeth that are crooked or stained and want to get veneers. Veneers can correct a number of dental problems, such as gaps between the teeth and uneven edges on chipped or cracked tooth enamel. Veneers can also be used to change an unpleasant color in the mouth, for instance, yellowish teeth caused by smoking cigarettes over many years. How To Take Care Of Veneers For Best ResultsIt is important to remember that veneers are a medical device and should be treated as such. This means following the instructions of your dentist or dental professional closely for their care in order to get optimal results. You can also opt out of certain products like wine, tea, and coffee altogether when instructed by your dentist. Also, don't forget about flossing; this small act helps keep bacteria away from vulnerable teeth while keeping oral hygiene on point. Veneers can improve your smile.
