Dental veneers can give someone with a smile imperfections a new smile they can be proud to share with the world around them. However, many people neglect ever bringing up the topic with a cosmetic dentist. Here is a look at some of the more common misconceptions about dental veneers so you can make informed decisions about whether this is the right treatment for you.
When you have veneers, they look just as natural as your natural teeth. Great measures are taken to ensure it. The dentist will help you make decisions about the tooth shade for your complexion, and the proper shape is created according to how you want your smile to look.
Dental veneers can actually deter issues with teeth sensitivity. For example, if there are issues with enamel erosion, this in itself can generate issues with dental sensitivity. However, veneers adhere to the surface of the tooth and thwart problems with sensitivity.
Dental veneers can last several years with proper care and attention. Most people see their veneers last for as long as five to ten years. It is rare for a veneer to crack or break unless someone is eating foods that are hard on the veneers.
Dental veneers can be created out of a few different materials, but these materials are considered safe for use for the purpose and should pose no health concerns. Composite is a body-safe plastic and porcelain is a body-safe material as well. If you have specific concerns about materials, the dentist will discuss any of your concerns in detail before the procedure.
If you want a faster solution to smile imperfections, dental veneers could be the ideal solution for you. Don’t let falsehoods and half-truths deter you from finding out if you are a good candidate for veneers.
