Dental veneers are a cosmetic solution that can permanently enhance the aesthetics of your smile. If you have issues like chips, cracks, small gaps, irregularities, or tooth discoloration, dental veneers can help improve and even out the appearance of your teeth. These thin, tooth-colored porcelain sheets are custom-made to fit your smile and are affixed to the front of your natural teeth to enhance the overall look and feel of your smile.

During the bonding process, your dentist may need to remove some enamel from your natural teeth to properly attach the veneers, making this treatment a permanent dental procedure. With proper care, a quality set of veneers can last approximately fifteen years or longer.

Enhancing and Protecting Your Teeth with Dental Veneers

Dental veneers can also serve a protective function for your teeth. If you have weak enamel on your natural teeth, veneers can provide an additional layer of protection. Furthermore, they can help reduce sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages. In essence, dental veneers not only enhance your smile's appearance but also safeguard it by adding a durable protective layer over the enamel.

Maintaining Oral Health with or without Veneers

To ensure good oral health, whether you have veneers or not, it is crucial to: brush your teeth twice daily, floss daily, follow a balanced diet, avoid tobacco products, and attend biannual dental checkups for routine cleanings and examinations. During these visits, your dental team can detect any other dental issues like decay or gum disease that may require treatment.
