They will decide if the veneers fit what you want from them. Start the trip to a new bright smile by linking with us – we’re ready to help you all along.
What is a Porcelain Veneer?
Made from fragile, thin ceramic pieces, porcelain covers work as safeguards for your teeth. They smoothly replace tooth enamel by sticking it to the outside part of the tooth. Their permanence is on par with fillings or crowns, offering a solution for an array of aesthetic concerns:
Spacing and Alignment:Â Veneers can fix spaces between your front teeth and handle different line problems. They are a good choice, like braces, in some situations.
Colour: Even hard-to-change teeth can shine more with veneers. They come in many natural colours to match your own or make them whiter.
- Size and Shape:Â Veneers can change your smile by fixing chipped teeth and making shortened ones longer because of grinding. If you ever felt your teeth were too square, round, or big/small, veneers can make their shape match your face.
Our Springfield dentist can show you how you’ll look with veneers before starting the treatment. They will make a shape of your teeth to fit right and be easy for you. If you pick a brand for veneer, just a little bit of your enamel may be taken off to apply it well. When attached, veneers stay strong against getting dirty or moving while we eat and talk. Prepare yourself to take a happy photo and enjoy the outcome.
How Is a Veneer Different from a Crown?
Crowns and veneers are made to look like tooth enamel. They stick firmly with your real teeth, too. Both treatments make changes to your teeth’s shape, size and colour, plus their overall look.
However, these fixes are meant for different problems. Crowns are used to fix teeth that have been damaged from hitting, biting too hard, grinding your teeth together or time wear. They also help with issues caused by rot and old age. On the other hand, veneers are made to hide little flaws. This makes it a dental treatment that improves appearance. A veneer sticks to the front of a tooth, while a crown or cap covers the whole tooth down to where it meets with gums. Putting a crown on your tooth often means taking off the outside layer, but it makes the hidden part of your tooth stronger. Crowns are often picked to fix problems like broken teeth and bad looks in the back teeth because they can take strong bites.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
BeVeneers are carefully made to give a long-lasting improvement in the look of your teeth and smile. How long veneers last depends on daily care, your lifestyle and what brand is used. If you brush and floss every day, veneers can last for a long time. This helps keep your beautiful smile looking good for years to come.
What Are Lumineers®?
Lumineers are a special kind of thin and see-through veneer that is very popular. This brand is special because it needs very little to no cutting off your real tooth’s outer layer, called enamel. But it still stays strong. Forecasts say that Lumineers can keep their quality for more than 20 years. Like other kinds of veneer, they look natural and fit well. They stick securely to the surface and don’t stain easily. Feel the powerful change that comes with Lumineers – a smart option that looks good and lasts for a long time.
How Do I Care For Veneers?
If your fake teeth are covering worn-out teeth from grinding and biting, our dentist might suggest getting a special night guard made just for you to protect your changed smile. Instead, if your veneers don’t have these problems, you just need to take care of them like regular teeth. This means gently brushing and flossing them every day.
It’s important to understand that veneers can still be damaged even though they are strong. If you have veneers on your front teeth, listen to what the doctor says and do not chew hard stuff like candy apples or use your teeth to open things. If you follow these rules, your veneers will stay bright and strong for a long time.
