Why Consider Veneers? For Yourself!

Perhaps you’ve heard of veneer finishes on furniture and dislike them along with professional interior designers. The fake thin layer can cheapen the look and quality of the furniture, so veneers are typically looked down on in home décor as an industry. When you hear that veneers also exist for teeth, you may be skeptical about them at first. However, you really should consider getting these cosmetic wonders if you want your smile to stand out with a signature look! Here are some of the most powerful reasons why these are worth thinking seriously about.

You Want to Look Like a Celebrity.

On basically every red carpet across the world, you will find dazzling, perfect smiles with a little secret: many of them consist of veneers. The rich and famous have achieved their fairytale smiles that look natural through these tiny coverings, but they aren’t available just to those who have deep pockets. Your local dentist has the ability to customize veneers for your unique face and mouth for a lifelike aesthetic, helping you feel like a movie star every time you smile!

Your Teeth Have Multiple Cosmetic Flaws.

Sometimes, teeth have more than just one imperfection. You may have stains that won’t come off with whitening, little chips or cracks, small gaps between teeth, and/or oddly shaped teeth. As long as your existing teeth have no cavities, the realistic-looking porcelain can correct and hide almost all kinds of dental aesthetic flaws all at once. It sure beats having to do separate procedures to address each one!

You Want Your Treatment to Last a Long Time.

Teeth whitening is fast and simple, but it comes with a short lifespan. Within two to three years, stains can creep in, dimming the brilliance of your smile. Bonding, which accomplishes the same goals as veneers with composite resin, may be more affordable, but signs of wear and tear show up between five and ten years after treatment. In contrast, veneers can go for up to twenty years with consistent oral hygiene and maintenance before needing replacement.

You Don’t Have a Ton of Time for Complex Procedures.

Unfortunately, drastic changes through treatment like Invisalign require a long time to reach results. Whether you’ve got an important reunion, event, or other occasion coming up, you may not have months to prepare your smile. Veneers, on the other hand, are completed in two appointments with a rather short wait for fabrication in the lab in between. In other words, you could have a radiant, brand-new smile within a few weeks, not months or years!

Everyone has their own reasons for looking into getting veneers, but if these ones resonate with you, don’t put your ideal smile off any longer. Reach out to your dentist, explore your cosmetic options, and feel proud to show it off!
